Model Card
Qwen 3.5 9B is a 9-billion parameter open-source multimodal model by Alibaba's Qwen Team, featuring a 262K native context window (extendable to ~1M tokens), support for text, image, and video input, and coverage of 201 languages. It uses a hybrid Gated DeltaNet architecture and outperforms much larger models like Qwen3-30B and OpenAI's gpt-oss-120B on key benchmarks including reasoning, vision, and document understanding.

Qwen3.8 Max
Qwen3.8 Max is Alibaba's flagship large language model, released August 3, 2026 as the most capable model in the Qwen family to date. It uses a mixture-of-experts architecture with 2.4 trillion total parameters and about 95 billion active per request, and accepts text, image, and video input with a context window of up to 1 million tokens. Alibaba positions it for coding and long-horizon agentic work: in testing the model ran autonomously for over 10 days building a self-evolving software harness. Reported benchmarks include 93.0 on PaperBench, 82.8 on IFBench, 86.6 on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and 86.1 on OSWorld-Verified, ahead of Claude Opus 4.8 on several coding and agent tasks and roughly matching Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, though it trails both on some evaluations. On the Arena.AI leaderboard it ranks as the top Chinese model for text tasks. Alibaba plans to open-source the weights on Hugging Face and ModelScope.
ChatQwen3.7 Flash
Qwen3.7 Flash is the low-cost, fast tier of Alibaba's Qwen3.7 family, released in July 2026. It is a vision-language model that accepts text, image, and video input across a 1 million-token context window, with reasoning enabled by default and a 262K-token thinking budget. Alibaba positions it as an upgrade over Qwen3.6 Flash in multimodal understanding and agent execution, with better object recognition and spatial intelligence. It supports function calling and structured outputs. Pricing is tiered by prompt length. Requests under 32K input tokens cost $0.03/$0.13 per million, rising to $0.20/$0.80 above 256K. Alibaba published no benchmarks at launch. An independent vision evaluation by Roboflow measured strong object identification (84.4%) but weak OCR and object detection, so it fits high-volume multimodal tasks (classification, visual agents, lightweight extraction) better than document-heavy pipelines.
ChatQwen3.7 Plus
Qwen3.7 Plus is Alibaba's multimodal agent model, released in June 2026, combining vision-language understanding with full agentic capabilities across a 1 million-token context window. Unlike the text-only Qwen3.7 Max, Plus ingests images and video alongside text, processed through early-fusion training so vision and language are jointly understood from the first layer. This enables GUI grounding — the model can interpret screenshots and issue precise on-screen actions — scoring 79.0 on ScreenSpot Pro, placing it alongside Claude Computer Use and OpenAI Operator in the GUI automation tier. Beyond vision, it adds deep reasoning, self-programming, tool invocation, and autonomous iteration: the model writes and tests code, calls external APIs, and loops until the task is done. On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index it scores 53. Choose it over Qwen3.7 Max when your workflow requires image or video inputs, browser/desktop automation, or end-to-end agentic pipelines that combine seeing, reasoning, and doing.
