Alibaba Cloud's 4th-generation multimodal AI assistant and foundation model lineup (Qwen4-Max, Qwen4-Plus, Qwen4-Flash & open-weight Qwen4-27B) with 1M context.
Covers every compute envelope from the multi-trillion-scale Qwen4-Max flagship and Qwen4-Plus/Flash APIs to the local PC-friendly Qwen4-27B open-weight checkpoint, plus qwen4-coder-plus and qwen4-omni-120b-think.
Pioneered in the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next architecture preview, combining ultra-lean active parameter routing (6B active out of 125B) with a 51B n-gram embedding layer that trades compute for instant memorized lookup.
Sizes the Qwen 4 generation at a full 1M-token context window across text, code, images, audio, and video for repository-wide coding and cross-document reasoning.
Trained via multi-cycle automated Recursive Self-Improvement across coding, math, and hardware EDA workflows—demonstrating 10,000+ autonomous tool calls in chip design and software engineering.

Deploy single-GPU or multi-GPU instances in minutes from a public catalog of H200, H100, A100, GAUDI2, RTX and L40S hardware.
Reserve bare-metal nodes and multi-GPU clusters with dedicated vRAM, vCPU and RAM for large training runs.
Every GPU class is listed with an hourly rate and available regions, so you can compare cost before launching.
Attach persistent volumes, use the documented API and manage everything from a single web console.
Free / Open-sourceProvides state-of-the-art open-weight reasoning models and low-cost APIs, but with less emphasis on multimodal Alibaba ecosystem tools.
