Alibaba has announced its new flagship Qwen3.8 model with a 2.4 trillion parameter architecture. Developers claim that in terms of capabilities, it is second only to Anthropic Fable 5. A full release with open weights is expected in the near future.

🌍 The release of a model of this scale in open-weight format could significantly narrow the gap between proprietary frontier models and open solutions.
