Alibaba released its new flagship Qwen3.8-Max (千问3.8-Max) model on August 3. The model has 2.4 trillion total parameters and approximately 95 billion activated parameters.

The distinction indicates that the stated total parameter count and activated parameter count are different measures; the source does not say that all 2.4 trillion parameters are active for each operation. It did not provide training-compute, accelerator-count, dataset-size, context-window, or inference-cost figures.

The report said Qwen3.8-Max improved capabilities in reasoning, coding, and agent tasks. Alibaba also began public testing of its enterprise agent product Qwen Office (千问办公) on the same day.
