Alibaba announces Qwen3.8-Max and plans open-weight releases
Alibaba describes a 2.4-trillion-parameter model for coding and cowork use and says two sets of weights are planned for the following week.
Overview
Alibaba announced Qwen3.8-Max, describing it as a 2.4-trillion-parameter model aimed at coding and cowork use. The company says Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-27B weights are planned for release the following week; the release status and vendor-reported performance figures remain unverified.
Why it matters
A completed open-weight release could expand the set of large models available for independent deployment and evaluation.
