Following the widespread community adoption of the Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6 series, we are pleased to introduce Qwen3.8, the most capable generation in the Qwen open-model family to date.

For the first time, Qwen3.8 brings a Qwen-Max-class model to open release. Built on the architectural foundation of Qwen3.5, Qwen3.8 delivers substantial gains across coding, professional work, research, and long-horizon agentic tasks. Beyond answering harder questions, Qwen3.8 is designed to carry complex, multi-step tasks through to completion with greater reliability.

## Qwen3.8 Highlights

Qwen3.8 features the following enhancements:

-   **Core Capabilities**: Comprehensive improvements across coding, professional work, research, and long-horizon agentic tasks.
-   **Agent Execution**: Stronger autonomous planning and better handling of environment feedback, leading to more reliable end-to-end task completion.
-   **Downstream Compatibility**: Broader support for popular harnesses and development tools, making it easier to integrate into your existing stack.
-   **Flexible Thinking Control**: Reasoning depth can be tuned with `reasoning_effort`, and reasoning context from historical messages is retained via `preserve_thinking`.

## Benchmark Results

## Quickstart

For streamlined integration, we recommend using Qwen3.8 via APIs.

### Serving Qwen3.8

> \[!Important\] Inference efficiency and throughput vary significantly across frameworks. We recommend using the latest framework versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. For production workloads or high-throughput scenarios, dedicated serving engines such as SGLang, vLLM, or TokenSpeed are recommended.

Qwen3.8 can be deployed with popular inference frameworks, e.g.:

-   [SGLang](https://www.sglang.io/): [Qwen3.8 Cookbook](https://docs.sglang.io/cookbook/autoregressive/Qwen/Qwen3.8)
-   [vLLM](https://vllm.ai/): [Qwen3.8 Recipe](https://recipes.vllm.ai/Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B)
-   [TokenSpeed](https://lightseek.org/tokenspeed/): [Qwen3.8 Recipe](https://lightseek.org/tokenspeed/recipes/models#qwen3-8)

### API Usage

> \[!Important\] Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B is a text-only model that requires thinking mode for all interactions. Multimodal inputs are not supported, and thinking cannot be disabled. Every response will automatically begin with reasoning enclosed in `<think>\n...</think>\n\n` before the final output.

> \[!Tip\] We recommend using the following set of sampling parameters for generation:
> 
> -   `temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0`
> 
> Please note that the support for sampling parameters varies according to inference frameworks.

Qwen3.8 comes with official support for `reasoning_effort`, which can be used to adjust reasoning depth and control cost:

-   `xhigh` (default): for complex tasks demanding thorough analysis
-   `medium`: balancing accuracy and speed
-   `low`: efficient reasoning optimizing for speed and cost

In addition, `preserve_thinking` is enabled by default for all workloads for the best out-of-the-box experience.

#### Chat Completions API

The Chat Completions API can be used with most inference frameworks, as well as [Qwen Cloud](https://www.qwencloud.com). Before starting, make sure the OpenAI Python SDK is installed and the API key and the API base URL are configured, e.g.:

```
pip install -U openai


export OPENAI_BASE_URL='your-base-url'
export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key'
```

##### Text-Only Input

```
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function to merge two sorted linked lists."}]

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B",
    messages=messages,
    extra_body={
        "chat_template_kwargs": {
            "enable_thinking": True,  # on by default; should not be turned off
            "preserve_thinking": True, # on by default
        },
    },
    reasoning_effort="xhigh",  # xhigh by default; supported levels are xhigh, medium, and low
    stream=True,
    stream_options={"include_usage": True},
)

reasoning_content = ""
answer_content = ""
is_answering = False
print("\n" + "=" * 20 + "Reasoning" + "=" * 20 + "\n")

for chunk in completion:
    if not chunk.choices:
        print("\nUsage:")
        print(chunk.usage)
        continue

    delta = chunk.choices[0].delta

    if hasattr(delta, "reasoning_content") and delta.reasoning_content is not None:
        if not is_answering:
            print(delta.reasoning_content, end="", flush=True)
        reasoning_content += delta.reasoning_content

    if hasattr(delta, "content") and delta.content:
        if not is_answering:
            print("\n" + "=" * 20 + "Answer" + "=" * 20 + "\n")
            is_answering = True
        print(delta.content, end="", flush=True)
        answer_content += delta.content
```

> \[!Note\] If you are using APIs from Qwen Cloud, in addition to changing `model`, please pass `extra_body={"enable_thinking": True, "preserve_thinking": True}` instead of `extra_body={"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": True, "preserve_thinking": True}}`.

## Best Practices

To achieve optimal performance, we recommend the following settings:

1.  **Sampling Parameters**:
    
    -   We suggest using the following set of sampling parameters:
        -   `temperature=1.0`, `top_p=0.95`, `top_k=20`, `min_p=0.0`, `presence_penalty=0.0`, `repetition_penalty=1.0`
    -   For supported frameworks, you can adjust the `presence_penalty` parameter between 0 and 2 to reduce endless repetition. However, using a higher value may occasionally result in language mixing and a slight decrease in model performance.
2.  **Adequate Output Length**: To optimize performance on agentic tasks, we recommend allocating sufficient output length to allow the model to generate detailed and comprehensive responses. For frameworks that support separate token limits for internal reasoning and final outputs, we suggest the following configuration within the 1M context length:
    
    -   **Reasoning Content:** Set the maximum output length to 262,144 tokens.
    -   **Final Response:** Set the maximum output length to 131,072 tokens.
    
    These settings provide the necessary capacity for complex reasoning while ensuring ample space for high-quality final deliverables.
