Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B

Flagship-scale model for coding and long-horizon agentic work with 256K context

About model

Qwen3.8 Max is the flagship of Qwen's 3.8 generation and the largest model the team has released, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts design with 2.4 trillion total parameters. Qwen describes it as the team's first multimodal model above one trillion parameters, built for coding, long-horizon agentic work, and multimodal reasoning. The model supports a 256K-token context window with up to 128K output tokens, and thinking is always enabled, with reasoning effort adjustable across low, high, and xhigh levels. Announced on July 19, 2026 at the World AI Conference in Shanghai, with Alibaba committing to an open-weight release. Available on Together AI.

  • Model card

    Architecture Overview:
    • Sparse Mixture-of-Experts model with 2.4 trillion total parameters
    • 256K-token context window with a 131,072-token maximum output
    • Thinking always enabled, with reasoning effort configurable across low, high, and xhigh levels (xhigh default)
    • Multimodal input processed natively alongside text

    Training Methodology:
    • Announced July 19, 2026 at the World AI Conference in Shanghai as the flagship of the Qwen3.8 generation
    • Qwen describes it as the team's first multimodal model above one trillion parameters
    • The preview period saw rapid iteration, with Qwen-reported gains concentrated in web frontend generation

    Performance Characteristics:
    • Qwen positions the model around coding, long-horizon agentic work, and multimodal reasoning
    • Qwen-reported improvements to web frontend generation during the July preview updates

  • Prompting

    Together AI API Access:
    • Access Qwen3.8 Max via Together AI APIs using the endpoint Qwen/Qwen3.8-Max
    • Authenticate using your Together AI API key in request headers
    • Thinking is always enabled; set reasoning effort to low, high, or xhigh per request (xhigh is the default)
    • Supports output lengths up to 128K tokens for long generations and agent trajectories
    • Available on Together AI serverless and dedicated infrastructure

  • Applications & use cases

    Agentic Software Development:
    • Run long-horizon coding sessions with always-on reasoning tuned to task difficulty
    • Generate frontend and full-stack work, an area of Qwen-reported preview gains
    • Hold entire repositories in the 256K-token context for cross-file work

    Long-Horizon Agent Workflows:
    • Sustain extended multi-step agent trajectories with up to 128K output tokens per generation
    • Dial reasoning effort down for routine steps and up to xhigh for hard planning
    • Keep long-running agent state in context across sessions

    Multimodal Reasoning:
    • Reason over documents, screenshots, and images alongside text in one request
    • Ground coding and analysis tasks in visual context without a separate pipeline
    • Combine multimodal input with long context for large mixed-media working sets
