Qwen3 32B is a hybrid reasoning model and is very good. You have to generate a lot of think tokens for any agentic activity but you will probably run the model locally and it wont be a problem. If you need something quick and simple, /no_think is good enough in my experience. It might also be because its not a moe architecture

Qwen3 32B was a hybrid model that came out in April, but these new Qwen July models have all ditched the hybrid mechanism and are either thinking or non-thinking.

By Qwen3-32B you mean the first released version from late April? I don't think Qwen3-32B-2507 has been released yet.

I agree with GP that since Qwen is now releasing updated Qwen3 version without hybrid reasoning, and experience a significant performance boost in the process, it likely means that the hybrid reasoning experiment was a failure.
