Qwen: Qwen3.8 Max (0902)

Qwen3.8 Max (0902) is a proprietary-priced model from Qwen that accepts text, image, and video input and returns text. It offers a 1,000,000-token context window and up to 131,072 output tokens, enough room for long documents or extended multimodal sessions in a single request. It supports tool calling and a reasoning mode. The available facts do not confirm structured output support or open weights, so verify both before relying on them. At $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, it fits teams that need long-context, video-capable input with tool use at a mid-range price. Its blended benchmark score of 76.5 rests on a single independent benchmark (AI Index score of 74.9), so its standing is thinly evidenced. Shortlist it if the context length and modality mix match your workload, but run your own evaluations against alternatives before committing.
