Qwen3.8-Max
Alibaba’s flagship, and the first Max-tier Qwen with downloadable weights.
About Qwen3.8-Max
Qwen3.8-Max is Alibaba’s top model and the first Max-class Qwen whose weights you can download — a 2.4-trillion-parameter mixture of experts. Alibaba trained it to check its own visual output, and reports 67.7% on SWE-bench Pro, 92.6% on GPQA Diamond and 86.1% on the OSWorld computer-use test.
Through the API it reads images and video and holds a million tokens; the downloadable version is text-only with a shorter context. It thinks before answering, at three effort levels.
Where it’s strong
Frontier-level coding agents.
Operating desktop software.
Research and analysis across long documents.
Where to be careful
Every headline score is from Alibaba’s internal runs.
The licence on the open weights restricts very large AI-service companies.
Price
For scale: 1,000 requests of about 3,000 tokens in and 1,000 out cost $13.26 — 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.
