AI developers, researchers, enterprises, agent builders, and organizations following Alibaba’s next generation of foundation models, although its final production use cases cannot yet be determined because the model remains in training
About Qwen 4
Qwen 4 is Alibaba’s next-generation Qwen foundation model, announced on September 22, 2026, and currently in training. It will follow the Qwen3.8 generation as part of Alibaba’s broader roadmap for increasingly capable foundation and agentic AI models. Alibaba has not yet published Qwen 4’s parameter count, architecture, benchmark results, context window, pricing, release date, or availability details. The announcement places Qwen 4 within a research strategy focused on large-scale model training, agentic reinforcement learning, multimodal intelligence, and recursive self-improvement. Alibaba separately said that later Qwen 4.5 and Qwen 5 models are expected to scale into the 5-to-10-trillion-parameter range, but that figure was not attributed specifically to Qwen 4. Because Qwen 4 has not yet been released, detailed performance comparisons and production capabilities remain unconfirmed.

Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B
Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B is the largest open model in the Qwen3.8 family, bringing Qwen-Max-class capabilities to an open release. Built on the architectural foundation of Qwen3.5, it delivers substantial improvements across coding, professional work, research, and long-horizon agentic tasks, with a focus on carrying complex, multi-step work through to completion more reliably. The causal language model uses a mixture-of-experts architecture with 2.4 trillion total parameters and 95 billion activated parameters, including 512 experts with 10 routed and one shared expert active at a time. It supports a native context length of 262,144 tokens that can be extended to approximately 1.01 million tokens. Agent execution is strengthened through better autonomous planning and improved handling of environment feedback, while broader compatibility with popular agent harnesses and development tools simplifies integration into existing stacks.
