Qwen (Qwen3.8-Max / Qwen3.8-Flash)

Alibaba Cloud's model family, mostly open-weight but topped by a closed flagship: Qwen3.8-Max (a 2.4-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model, released August 2026) is cloud-API-only, while Qwen3.8-Flash and earlier Qwen3.x generations remain open-weight and are widely used for self-hosting.

Flagship Qwen3.8-Max is a closed, cloud-API-only model; smaller Qwen3.x models ship open-weight and are free to self-host
