Alibaba releases Qianwen 3.8-MAX artificial intelligence model

According to official news, Alibaba has released the Qianwen 3.8-MAX artificial intelligence model, which has 2.4 trillion parameters. The model will open source its weights next week, marking the first time Tongyi Qianwen has open-sourced a Max-level model, along with the simultaneous open-sourcing of Qwen3.8-27B.

Qwen3.8-Max focuses on autonomous programming and multimodal capabilities, capable of over 10 days of self-evolution development and 500+ rounds of chip design optimization. The API pricing is $2.0/M tokens for input and $6.0/M tokens for output. This is the second open-source weight model with over 2T parameters following Kimi K3, marking an intensification of competition in the open-source large-scale model space.
