Qwen3.8 Flash
Qwen3.8 Flash is a multimodal model from Alibaba's Qwen team, released August 26, 2026, as the fast, lower-cost tier of the Qwen3.8 family alongside Qwen3.8 Max and Qwen3.8 27B. It uses a mixture-of-experts architecture with 125B total parameters and 6B active per token, an early preview of the architecture planned for Qwen4. It accepts text, image, and video input and returns text, with a 1,000,000 token context window and output capped at 128,000 tokens. The API supports tool calling, structured outputs via JSON schema, and prompt caching, with cached input billed at $0.016 per million tokens. Pricing is $0.06 per million input tokens and $0.19 per million output tokens, about one-twelfth the cost of Qwen3.8 Max. Alibaba says it was trained at roughly one-ninth the cost of Qwen3.7-Plus and reports higher scores on benchmarks including SWE-bench Pro and CoWorkBench, an agentic office-task benchmark.
ChatQwen3.8 27B
Qwen3.8 27B is a dense, open-weight multimodal model from Alibaba's Qwen team, released August 14, 2026 as a smaller member of the Qwen3.8 family alongside the flagship Qwen3.8 Max. It combines Gated DeltaNet linear attention with standard gated attention across 64 layers, giving a 27 billion parameter dense model a native 262K token context window, extendable to 1M tokens. It accepts text, image, and video input, including hour-scale video and STEM diagrams. Alibaba reports 61.7 on SWE-bench Pro and 73.0 on Terminal Bench 2.1, both improvements over the earlier Qwen3.6 27B, and 89.2 on GPQA Diamond. Released under Apache 2.0, it gives developers an open-weight alternative to Qwen3.8 Max for coding and agentic tasks, at a fraction of the parameter count.
ChatQwen3.8 2.4T A95B
Qwen3.8 2.4T A95B is Alibaba's open-weight release of its Qwen3.8 Max flagship, a sparse mixture-of-experts model with 2.4 trillion total parameters and 95 billion active per token, routed across 512 experts. It uses a hybrid attention design (Gated DeltaNet and Gated Attention layers) across 92 layers, with a native 262K context window and thinking mode enabled for every response. Alibaba reports 93.0 on PaperBench (ahead of GPT-5.6 Sol's 90.5), 92.6 on GPQA Diamond, 86.6 on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and 67.7 on SWE-bench Pro, positioning it for coding, research, and long-horizon agentic work. It gives developers access to Qwen-Max-class capability under open weights, useful for teams that want frontier-level coding and agentic performance without a closed API.
