Do you have any experience on how good is Qwen3-coder compared to Claude 4 Sonnet?

No, unfortunately, I haven't used Qwen3-coder yet. I do like Claude 4 Sonnet, but my favorite programming LLM is Gemini 2.5 Pro at the moment, I think it's the smartest model (Claude and o3 do print better code though).

I have exprience using the base Qwen3-32B model and it's extremely good for its size, especially in solving undergrad/grad level math problems. So my guess would be that Qwen3-coder should be competitive, but this is just speculation.
