Alibaba Group has announced its new Qwen3.8 model, claiming it is one of the most powerful models available and comparable to leading frontier models. This model boasts 2.4 trillion parameters and can process text, images, video, and documents, surpassing its predecessor Qwen3.7 Max in various tasks. A preview version is available at a reduced price on Alibaba's platforms, with an open-weight release promised soon. However, Alibaba has not provided benchmark scores to support its performance claims, leading to skepticism from some in the AI community who question its ranking against models like Anthropic Fable 5.
