Nanbeige has released Nanbeige4.3-33B, an open weights model matching Qwen3.8 27B (xhigh) at 20 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5 with stronger terminal use but weaker knowledge @Nanbeige is the foundation model research team at BOSS Zhipin, the Chinese recruitment platform operated by Kanzhun Limited. Its dense 33B reasoning model is open weights under Apache 2.0, with text input and output only, a 524K-token context window, and is small enough to run locally on a laptop. Key results: ➤ Competitive results at ~30B total parameters. Nanbeige4.3-33B and Qwen3.8 27B (xhigh) both score 20, compared with 6 for Muse Glimmer (high, 30B). ➤ Terminal use and physics reasoning are relative strengths. Nanbeige scores 30% on Terminal-Bench 4.0 and 16% on CritPt v2's Hard Subset, vs. 6% and 4% respectively for Qwen3.8 27B. ➤ Different strengths to Qwen3.8 27B despite the same overall score. Nanbeige beats Qwen3.8 27B on AutomationBench-AA (53% vs. 48%), but trails on AA-Briefcase v1.1 (1162 vs. 1391 Elo), FrontierCode 2.0 (11% vs. 15%) and HLE-Diamond (7% vs. 15%). ➤ High abstention and low hallucination rates on Omniscience. Nanbeige scores -4 on AA-Omniscience v1.1 vs.…

Why it matters

A 33B dense Apache 2.0 model small enough to run locally scores 30% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, well above its Qwen peer. The tradeoffs are weaker knowledge and about 44% more output per task.

Terms in this piece · Glossary
  • reasoning model — A model trained to think — generating extended internal reasoning before answering — trading time and tokens for accuracy on hard problems.
  • token — The chunk of text a model reads and writes in — roughly three-quarters of a word — and the unit AI usage is billed in.
