Alibaba teases 2.4T-parameter Qwen3.8, says it will go open-weight
Alibaba's Qwen account announced Qwen3.8, a 2.4-trillion-parameter model it says will go open-weight soon, but published no benchmarks, license terms, or firm release date. For now the only thing shippable is a paid Max-Preview via Alibaba's Token Plan; a 2.4T open-weight release would be the largest yet, though the claim rests on Alibaba's own framing until independent numbers appear.
