Qwen3.8 Max 0902

Qwen3.8 Max 0902 is an updated snapshot of Qwen3.8 Max from Alibaba's Qwen team. It is a 2.4-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model that accepts text, image, and video input and returns text, with a 1M-token context window and reasoning enabled by default.

This snapshot is post-trained for coding and agentic work, including multi-step software projects, multi-tool orchestration, and long-horizon task execution. It also targets chart reasoning, document parsing, and multimodal understanding over long documents and extended video. Tool calling, structured outputs, and configurable reasoning effort are supported.
