Built on the Qwen 3.5 architecture, the multimodal model packs 2.4 trillion total parameters (95 billion active) and can process up to 1 million tokens at once, letting it handle tasks like lengthy legal documents or large codebases.\n\nOn the crowdsourced Arena.AI leaderboard, Qwen3.8-Max climbed to fifth place in the Text Arena — trailing only Anthropic's Claude models — and second in the Vision Arena, making it the highest-ranked Chinese text model. It remains slightly smaller than domestic rival Moonshot AI's Kimi K3, which launched last month with 2.8 trillion parameters. Alibaba plans to release the model's weights as fully open source next week.\n\nCEO Eddie Wu has said AI products are becoming the main driver of growth for Alibaba's cloud division. Citi analysts said companies with \"full-stack capabilities\" — from chips and cloud infrastructure to models and applications — like Alibaba are best positioned to lead as the market shifts toward model-agnostic approaches, amid intensifying US-China AI competition."}}
