Alibaba's Qwen 3.8: 2.4T Params, Rivals Claude Fable 5
Summary
Alibaba is openly releasing its new large-scale AI model, 'Qwen 3.8,' which has 2.4 trillion parameters. The company claims its performance is second only to Claude Fable 5. A preview version, 'Qwen3.8-Max-Preview,' is already available for use in chat AI services like Qwen Studio. Alibaba has previously released other Qwen models openly, which led to many specialized versions created by volunteers. For example, 'Bonsai 27B,' a miniaturized version of Qwen 3.6, can run on an iPhone. This open strategy for Qwen 3.8 could lead to similar developments. This move highlights the growing competition and innovation in the open AI model market.
