About Qwen3.8-27B (Colombo)

This is Qwen3.8-27B — Alibaba’s compact open model, strong at coding and documents for its size — running on our own GPU server in Colombo. Prompts and answers are processed in Sri Lanka and never leave it: there is no fallback to a server abroad, by design.

We run it with a 131K-token context and low reasoning effort by default. On 250 MMLU-Pro questions through this server, that setting scored 84.0% — higher than the model’s own default, using a third of the tokens. A single request streams at about 73 tokens a second, and it supports tool calling.

Where it’s strong

Work whose data has to stay in Sri Lanka.

Drafting, summaries and question answering for local teams.

Agents that call your own tools, kept inside the country.

Where to be careful

One server and no fallback abroad: during maintenance or an outage, requests fail rather than leave the country.

A 131K-token context here, shorter than the 262K the model supports elsewhere.

Price

Input$0.30 per 1M tokens
Output$1.50 per 1M tokens

For scale: 1,000 requests of about 3,000 tokens in and 1,000 out cost $2.40 — a long prompt and a page of answer each. Every rate is published and stays the same from one request to the next. See every model.
