Qwen3.8-Flash opens 1M context at ¥0.8/M

Alibaba added Qwen3.8-Flash to Model Studio with a native 1-million-token context window, multimodal input, and OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs, according to its model availability notice and pricing table. In Beijing, the published rate is ¥0.8 per million input tokens and ¥2.7 per million output tokens. Teams evaluating Qwen’s open-model ecosystem and deployment ladder should benchmark tool calls and latency before switching: the cost signal is meaningful, but Alibaba’s documentation does not substitute for task-level reliability.
