Alibaba on Monday introduced Qwen3.8-Max, its largest artificial intelligence model to date, expanding its enterprise AI portfolio with an open-weight model designed for software engineering, multimodal reasoning, and other knowledge-intensive business workloads.
In a blog post announcing the launch, Alibaba described Qwen3.8-Max as a 2.4-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model that activates only about 95 billion parameters during inference.
The company said the architecture is intended to improve inference efficiency while supporting coding, reasoning and multimodal tasks, with open-weight versions scheduled for release next week through Alibaba Cloud's Model Studio.
"We believe it's one of the most powerful model available today, compatible to leading frontier AI models, second only to Fable 5," Alibaba said in an X post.
Benchmarks target Anthropic and OpenAI's coding models

We live and work in browsers. It's where we spend most of our time — and it's where we waste most of our time as well. Web browsing is slow, inefficient, and full of time-sapping annoyances.

You'll learn how to switch between home and work profiles, put idle tabs to sleep to speed up your PC, tap into the power of Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant, and more.
(Note that these tips are written for the most recently updated version of Edge in Windows 11 25H2 and Windows 10 22H2. Things may be slightly different if you use a different Windows version, and not all of these features are available for Edge on macOS or other platforms.)
So let's get started — time's a-wasting, and so is your productivity.
1. Switch between work and personal profiles
With remote and hybrid work models now common, many people use the same device for work and personal use. When it comes to using a web browser, that can quickly become problematic.
Mixing work and personal favorites makes it far more difficult to quickly get to important work websites or personal websites. When you're working, you don't want to wade through hundreds of links to family photos, vacation destinations, and YouTube videos of cats befriending parrots when you're just lookin
