Checked 2026-11-05

Qwen3.8 Max Prime is a higher-throughput version of Alibaba's Qwen3.8 Max, sold as its own SKU at a higher price. OpenRouter lists it from 23 September 2026. It accepts text, images and video and returns text, with a 1,000,000-token context window. On 5 November 2026 the listed price is $4 per million input tokens and $12 per million output. The pitch is speed rather than a smarter model, so the extra cost only pays off when latency matters to your users. We did not find an Alibaba page that describes the Prime tier, so the maker-side details, including the licence, are not confirmed. OpenRouter links no public weights, and our draft marks it closed. The limit is the price: at $4 input it sits among the dearer models, and plain Qwen3.8 Max may do the same job slower and cheaper. Output is text only. You reach it through OpenRouter or Alibaba's cloud. Figures come from OpenRouter's public model list and model page. We have not run it.
