What is Qwen3.8-Max?

Qwen3.8-Max is a model from Alibaba, built in China. It's out, and you can call it today.

When is Qwen3.8-Max coming?

No date. Alibaba hasn't given one, so we haven't made one up. The mentions further down are where a date would show up first.

What does it cost, and how much context does it hold?

Lab	Alibaba
Built in	China
Status	released
API model id	`qwen3.8-max`
Released	Not yet
Context window	1M tokens
Max output	131,072 tokens
Input, per 1M tokens	$2.00
Output, per 1M tokens	$6.00

List prices per million tokens, read off the lab's own docs. Caching, batching and volume deals all cut the real number, so treat this as the ceiling. Check the source before you budget against it.

At 700 words in and 500 out, twenty times a day, that works out around $3.52 a month. Put your own numbers in, see every Alibaba price, or put it next to another model.
