About Qwen 3.8 Omni Flash

Qwen 3.8 Omni Flash is the Qwen built to take in more than text. You send speech, images or video with your prompt and it answers in text: a transcript, a summary of a call, the steps shown in a screen recording. It shares its design with Qwen 3.8 Flash and holds up to a million tokens in one request.

Sound is inexpensive to send. Alibaba counts seven tokens for each second of audio, so an hour-long recording is about 25,000 tokens of input. It thinks before answering by default, with adjustable effort.

What is Qwen 3.8 Omni Flash good for?

  • Transcribing meetings, calls and voice notes.
  • Summarising long recordings and answering questions about them.
  • Reading screen recordings and short videos.
  • Pulling names, dates and actions out of speech.

Where to be careful

  • Replies come back as text. For a spoken answer, pair it with a text-to-speech model on the same key.
  • Thinking is on by default. Turn the effort down for straightforward transcription to keep replies quick.
