Alibaba released Qwen3.8-Max with open weights coming soon
Qwen3.8-Max is live on QwenCloud now, with open weights promised for Hugging Face and ModelScope next week.
The model is built on Qwen3.5 architecture and is described as a 2.4T-parameter system with 95B active parameters. Qwen is centering the launch on long-running agent work, citing internal tests in coding, research reproduction, hardware design, ecommerce simulation, and multimodal document/video handling. The release also adds QwenCloud support for OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible interfaces, plus selectable reasoning effort for API users. TestingCatalog's note
