Qwen3.8 Max Prime

Alibaba Qwen🇨🇳Frontier

TextReasoningVisionAPI

The provided source covers Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, a different model from the Max Prime record, so it cannot describe Max Prime's capabilities.

Qwen3.8 Omni Flash

Alibaba Qwen🇨🇳Frontier

TextReasoningVisionopenAPI

Multimodal mixture-of-experts model for agentic coding, document processing and tool-driven workflows with long context. Three of four layers use Gated DeltaNet, one layer uses Qwen Sparse Attention for retrieval across the full context.
