Just recently, Moonshot AI caused havoc with Kimi K3. Now it's Alibaba's Qwen3.8. The company is very assertive with its new model and says that Fable 5 is on its back. Alibaba introduced the Qwen3.8-Max-Preview model at the Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. The system has a total of 2.4 trillion parameters; In addition to text, it can also process images, videos and documents.
The Chinese company argues that Qwen3.8 is right behind Fable 5 among the leading artificial intelligence models worldwide. Let's also point out that version 3.8 also became the first multi-mode Qwen model to exceed the 1 trillion mark. Although Alibaba is ambitious, it has not yet shared test results or detailed comparisons to support this.
Moreover, the number of effective parameters and task-based performance data are not shared. This situation creates an important question mark when compared to Qwen3.7-Max, which was released with comprehensive test results in May. In summary, Qwen3.8 looks strong, but everything remains up in the air for now.
Of course, independent tests will reveal the truth. Trillion Parameters Are No Longer Limited to US Companies The announcement of Qwen3.8 came 3 days after the release of Kimi K3. Thus, Chinese developers made a rapid entry into the trillion parameter class, which was previously mainly associated with US companies. The Preview version of the new model can be used at a discount on Alibaba's Token Plan, Qoder and QoderWork platforms. The open source version of Qwen3.8 will also be available for download soon.
