Ling 3.0 Flash (free)
Qwen3.8 MaxDeveloped by Inclusionai, ling-3.0-flash-free is a 124B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with approximately 5.1B parameters activated per token. Featuring an expansive context length of 262,144 tokens, this model is built to handle extensive datasets and long-form content. It is designed with token efficiency and production-scale agentic inference as key priorities to enable seamless developer deployment.
Qwen3.8-Max is Alibaba Cloud Tongyi Qianwen's next-generation flagship large language model, featuring a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture with 2.4 trillion parameters. It achieves another breakthrough in encoding depth, enabling it to handle more complex engineering-grade projects and long-term autonomous development; collaborative agent capabilities are significantly enhanced, performing more confidently in multi-tool orchestration and end-to-end delivery; visual understanding is comprehensively improved, with more sensitive and accurate chart reasoning, document parsing, and multimodal perception. Continuing the 1-million-context window, reasoning modes, and a complete tool ecosystem, it continues to evolve at a higher level of intelligence.
