Alibaba Qwen 3.8 Max: 2.4T Parameters, Open-Source Soon

Alibaba has launched its newest flagship AI model, Qwen 3.8 Max. This is the company's biggest artificial intelligence model to date. Here's the thing: Qwen 3.8 Max uses a 2.4-trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts design. It also comes with a 1-million-token context window. This means it can handle extremely large documents and complex processes. What's interesting is that the model is live right now through Alibaba Cloud’s API. Alibaba also says the open weights will be released next week. This would mark the first time the company has open-sourced a model at its maximum scale. This move could significantly impact developers and researchers looking to use frontier-scale models on their own infrastructure.
