Alibaba Cloud Model Studio

Upgraded September 2, 2026 snapshot of Qwen3.8-Max (also named qwen3.8-max-2026-09-02) with better engineering-scale coding and multi-tool agent orchestration, keeping the 1M context. The newest Max build.

Current Qwen Flash tier (August 2026): a model with a 1M-token context for coding assistance and agent workflows, compatible with OpenAI and Anthropic API formats; Alibaba's low-cost recommendation.

Z.ai's GLM-5.3 (August 2026), GLM-5.2's base with heavier post-training for coding and agentic work and a 1M-token context, served by Alibaba Cloud, Mistral and Together.

Qwen3.8 27B dense model (August 2026, open weights), improving on 3.6-27B in coding and office tasks; 1M context on Model Studio. The newest dense Qwen model.

Alibaba's flagship Qwen model as of October 2026: a 2.4-trillion-parameter MoE with a 1M-token context and up to 128K output, aimed at long-horizon coding and professional office tasks.

Newest Alibaba text embedding model (July 2026), built on Qwen3.7, with 256-2,560 adjustable dimensions and 128K-token inputs; Alibaba reports about 20% better MTEB multilingual, Chinese-English and code retrieval than text-embedding-v4.

Qwen-Audio 3.0 short-audio recognizer (July 2026) for clips up to 5 minutes over HTTP, with hotwords, prompt context, 30 languages and seven Chinese dialect groups. Superseded by qwen-audio-3.1-asr-flash, which adds speaker diarization.

Qwen-Audio 3.0 long-file transcription (July 2026): asynchronous jobs on files up to 12 hours or 2 GB with speaker diarization, hotwords and context. qwen-audio-3.1-asr-flash-filetrans is now Alibaba's recommended offline model.

Real-time WebSocket recognizer from Qwen-Audio 3.0 for continuous transcription such as meetings, with unlimited stream length, hotwords and prompt context across 30 languages. Replaced as the recommendation by qwen-audio-3.1-asr-flash-streaming.

Qwen3.7 Flash (July 2026), with better agent and coding results than 3.6-Flash; 1M context. qwen3.8-flash (August 2026) is the newer Flash tier.

Dated July 15, 2026 build of Qwen3.7-Flash, published July 21, with a 1M-token context and up to 128K output tokens; Alibaba highlights its search-agent and code-interpreter agent gains.

Low-latency tier of Qwen-Audio 3.0 TTS (July 2026) with first-packet latency under 200 ms, voice cloning, and instruction and tag control of emotion, pace and style. Alibaba also lists a newer qwen-audio-3.1-tts-flash.

Alibaba's recommended speech synthesis model as of October 2026: the quality-focused Qwen-Audio 3.0 tier for audiobooks and dubbing, with voice cloning, natural-language instruction control, and cloned voices in 16 languages plus many Chinese dialects.

Speed-optimized preview of GLM-5.2 with the same 1M context and capabilities but 1.5-2x the output tokens per second, aimed at real-time chat, multi-turn agents and streaming code generation.

Fun-ASR Flash snapshot from June 2026 for short recordings: HTTP transcription of clips up to 5 minutes with prompt context, covering 30 languages and the seven Chinese dialect groups. The newest Fun-ASR file model.

Z.ai's June 2026 open-weight (MIT) model for long-horizon coding, the first GLM to deliver a usable 1M-token context, with 128K output and selectable reasoning effort. Superseded as flagship by GLM-5.3, a post-trained update of the same base.

Coding-specialized Kimi built on K2.6 for long-horizon software engineering with fewer thinking tokens; open-weight 1T MoE (32B active), 256K context, thinking always on. Sits below Moonshot's flagship Kimi K3.

June 8, 2026 Qwen3.7-Max snapshot, served here for text input only; the most recent Qwen3.7-Max build before Qwen3.8-Max arrived.

Pinned May 26, 2026 snapshot of Qwen3.7-Plus, the build its alias serves, with up to 128K output tokens.

Qwen3.7-Max (May 2026), Alibaba's previous flagship, built for agentic coding, office work and long-running autonomous tasks; text-only alias equal to the 2026-05-20 snapshot, 1M context. Superseded by qwen3.8-max.
