Qwen3.8-Flash-Next weights offer a Qwen4 architecture preview
Qwen provides an experimental multimodal MoE preview and an FP8 variant. Its model card now specifies 125B language-model parameters with 6B active, plus 51B n-gram embeddings and 4B MTP parameters, under Qwen Community License 1.0.
The 6B active figure does not imply a 6B model’s memory footprint. The release is experimental. Its license requires separate permission for commercial use by businesses offering model services or defined AI work assistants, with an internal-use exception. We have not tested performance or cost improvements.

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next · 6 Sept 2026 · Correction
Added officially documented parameters and license conditions: 6B active parameters do not imply a 6B model’s memory needs, and some commercial uses require separate permission.
