Alibaba Unveils 2.4T Parameter Qwen3.8-Max, Plans Open-Source Release Next Week

Qwen3.8-Max features 2.4 trillion parameters with optimized activation, matching top global benchmarks and outperforming Kimi K3 in coding tasks.

Woofun AI reports that Alibaba has launched Qwen3.8-Max, a flagship model containing 2.4 trillion parameters. The system utilizes parameter activation optimization to invoke only necessary components during operation, thereby lowering computational costs and latency. Performance metrics indicate parity with leading global AI models like Anthropic on specific benchmarks, while exceeding the capabilities of the recently released Kimi K3. Internal evaluations demonstrate the model's ability to autonomously execute software engineering projects spanning up to 16 days. Alibaba intends to open-source the weights for both Qwen3.8-Max and Qwen3.8-27B next week.
