Model Card
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 $0.08 per million input tokens and $0.24 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.

Qwen3.6 Flash
Qwen3.6 Flash is the speed-optimized tier of Alibaba's Qwen3.6 model family, designed for high-throughput, low-latency inference pipelines. It sits alongside Qwen3.6 Max Preview, Plus, and 35B-A3B in the product lineup, targeting use cases where fast response times matter more than peak benchmark scores. Like other Qwen3.6 models, it builds on a hybrid architecture combining linear attention with sparse mixture-of-experts routing. It is best suited for high-volume production workloads such as classification, extraction, summarization, and lightweight agent tasks where latency and cost efficiency are the primary constraints.
ChatQwen3.6 27B
Qwen3.6 27B is a dense 27-billion-parameter multimodal model from Alibaba's Qwen team, purpose-built for agentic coding and repository-level reasoning. It scores 77.2% on SWE-bench Verified and 59.3% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, outperforming the previous-generation Qwen3.5-397B-A17B across all major coding benchmarks despite being far smaller. It natively supports text, image, and video inputs with a 262K-token context window, extendable to 1M tokens. A standout feature is Thinking Preservation, which retains reasoning traces across conversation turns — reducing redundant computation in multi-step agent loops. The model uses a hybrid attention architecture combining Gated DeltaNet with traditional self-attention. Ideal for developers building coding agents, multi-turn tool-use workflows, or frontend generation pipelines.
ChatQwen3.6 Max Preview
Qwen3.6 Max Preview is Alibaba's most capable language model to date — a proprietary flagship that claimed the top score on six major coding benchmarks at its April 20, 2026 release. It leads on SWE-bench Pro, Terminal-Bench 2.0, SkillsBench, QwenClawBench, QwenWebBench, and SciCode. The Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index rates it at 52, well above the median for reasoning models in its price tier. It supports a 256K-token context window and is text-only at launch. As a preview release, Alibaba is still actively iterating on the model. Best suited for teams building coding agents, scientific computing tools, or frontend generation systems that need peak benchmark performance.
