Qwen3.8 Flash Next

alibaba·alibaba/qwen3.8-flash-next·GA·Open weights·qwen series·NEW
Open-weight experimental preview of the Qwen4 architecture: hybrid-attention MoE (125B total, 6B active) with vision encoder for coding, agent tasks, and image and video understanding

Qwen3.8 Flash Next by alibaba is offered by 6 providers on this page. Its reference price is $0.201 per 1M input tokens and $0.50 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is Vultr at $0.10 / $0.20 per 1M, about 2.0× below the reference price.

Artificial Analysis rates it 39.8 on the Intelligence Index, with 73.1 for coding and 53.6 for agentic tasks. Against its lowest blended price of $0.125 per 1M, that is roughly 318 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 51 tokens per second, with 2.02s to the first token. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $0.3722, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.

The context window is 262,144 tokens, with an output limit of 64,000 tokens. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, and Video. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice.
