The previous -Flash weight is closed source. They do have weights for the original model that is slightly behind in performance https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct

Based on things I had read over the past several months, Qwen3-Flash seemed to just be a weird marketing term for the Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B series, not a different model. If they are not the same, then that is interesting/confusing.

It is an in-house closed weight model for their own chat platform, mentioned in Section 5 of the original paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.17765

I've seen it in their online materials too but can't seem to find it now.
