Alibaba's Qwen team announces the upcoming release and open-sourcing of the Qwen3.8 model with 2.4 trillion parameters, claiming it is second only to Fable 5. The statement has drawn industry attention but lacks independent verification.
On July 19, 2026, Qwen officially announced on X platform that Qwen3.8 will be released and open-sourced soon. The model has 2.4 trillion parameters, described as "one of the most powerful models currently available."
The announcement also mentioned a Qwen3.8-Max-Preview version, but did not specify its differences from the base version.
Qwen officially claims that Qwen3.8's capabilities are "second only to Fable 5," implying it outperforms other frontier models. Fable 5 is used as a performance benchmark, but no benchmark scores or comparison details were provided.
This claim is currently only an official statement, lacking independent third-party verification or public evaluation results.
Qwen3.8 will be released with open weights, continuing the Qwen series' open-source tradition. This move may drive competition in the large model field, but specific open-source license and release timeline have not been announced.
No other model vendors or research institutions have responded to this announcement yet.
This report is based on public statements from Qwen's official X account. All performance claims are solely from the official side and have not been independently verified. The parameter count of 2.4 trillion is an official figure, but it is unclear whether it includes all parameters or involves optimizations like sparsity.
The release of Qwen3.8 marks the entry of large model parameter scale competition into the 2 trillion era, but the truth of its performance claims awaits third-party evaluation. The open-source strategy may accelerate industry applications, but the specific impact depends on actual performance.
