Qwen3.8 2.4T-A95B on Vidman AI

Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B is the open-weight variant of Qwen3.8-Max: the first time a Qwen-Max-class model has been brought to open release. It is a sparse mixture-of-experts causal language model with 2.4 trillion total parameters and 95 billion activated per token. 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, it is designed to carry complex, multi-step tasks through to completion with greater reliability.

Qwen highlights four improvements for this generation:

• 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.
• Flexible thinking control: reasoning depth tuned with reasoning_effort, and reasoning context from historical messages retained via preserve_thinking.

Architecture

Published model overview and configuration:

• Scale: 2.4T total parameters with 95B activated per token. BF16 weights.
• Context: 262,144 tokens natively, extensible up to 1,010,000 tokens.
• Layers: 92 hidden layers with a hidden dimension of 8192, arranged as 23 × (3 × (Gated DeltaNet → MoE) → 1 × (Gated Attention → MoE)): a hybrid layout that interleaves linear attention (Gated DeltaNet) with full gated attention every fourth block.
• Gated DeltaNet: 128 linear attention heads for V and 16 for QK, head dimension 128.
• Gated Attention: 64 query heads and 4 KV heads, head dimension 256, rotary position embedding dimension 64.
• Mixture of experts: 512 experts with 10 routed plus 1 shared expert active per token, expert intermediate dimension 2048.
• Vocabulary: 248,320 (padded), untied input/output embeddings.
• Speculative decoding: a multi-token-prediction (MTP) head trained with multiple steps.

Thinking and Reasoning Effort

Per the official model card:

• Thinking is always on. Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B requires thinking mode for all interactions: it cannot be disabled. Every response automatically begins with reasoning before the final output.
• Text only. Multimodal inputs are not supported on the open-weight model.
• Reasoning effort ladder. reasoning_effort adjusts reasoning depth and cost: xhigh (the default) for complex tasks demanding thorough analysis, medium for balancing accuracy and speed and low for efficient reasoning optimizing for speed and cost.
• preserve_thinking is enabled by default for all workloads, retaining reasoning context from historical messages.
• Recommended sampling parameters: temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0.
