Alibaba releases Qwen3.8-Max (2.4T MoE open weights) and Wan3.0 video model
Alibaba released Qwen3.8-Max, a 2.4T MoE model with 95B active parameters, 1M context, open weights, outperforming Fable 5 and GPT-5.6-Sol on many benchmarks. Also launched Wan3.0, a video generation model capable of 30-second 1080p videos from documents/slides, with aggressive pricing and a closed-weights shift. These releases follow a $10B share sale and reinforce the trend of Chinese labs pushing frontier capability at lower cost. Qwen3.8-Max's open-weight strategy is a game-changer for enterprise AI economics.
