Alibaba releases new Qwen AI model with performance rivalling Anthropic's Fable. Alibaba Group Holding released its latest flagship AI model, with performance claims putting it alongside global leaders like Anthropic's Fable. The new model, Qwen3.8-Max, is built around 2.4 trillion parameters and ranks higher on several benchmarks than the headline-grabbing Kimi K3 from Moonshot that was recently unveiled. Alibaba shared results showing it delivering comparable or sometimes better scores than Anthropic's Fable 5, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence model that was temporarily put under export controls by the US due to its advanced capabilities. The Hangzhou-based internet pioneer intends to release the Qwen3.8-Max weights for public download in the week starting Aug 10.
