Explore 51 more models by Alibaba Group →Qwen 3.8 27B is the compact dense member of Alibaba's Qwen 3.8 generation, released in 2026 under the Apache 2.0 license. The published model card describes it as a natively multimodal causal language model: a single set of weights handles text alongside image and video inputs, with a native context window of 262,144 tokens that can be extended further using YaRN-style rope scaling. Qwen also publishes an official FP8 checkpoint, which is the quantization served on this catalog, here with reasoning, vision, function calling and web search enabled.
Relative to its same-family predecessor Qwen 3.6 27B, the model keeps the same 27-billion-parameter dense footprint but is positioned by Qwen around stronger coding, professional and research work, and long-horizon agentic execution, together with flexible thinking control — reasoning can be enabled or disabled per request rather than requiring separate instruct and thinking checkpoints, as earlier Qwen releases such as Qwen 3 235B A22B Thinking 2507 did. Independent third-party benchmark results are not cited here.
Within the current lineup it sits below the flagship Qwen 3.8 2.4T mixture-of-experts model and the hosted Qwen 3.8 Max, while offering native vision that smaller dense builds like Qwen 3.5 9B did not carry in this catalog. That makes it a practical choice when you want multimodal input, tool use and a very long context at a size that fits a single accelerator.

"Best price" and the seller table are live Antseed catalog data (advertised $/1M tokens — or $ per generated image for unit-billed image models — not settled amounts). Reputation = buyer trust score (0-100, the Antseed SDK's own formula). "Routing" = the SDK's default buyer routing (what the VPR desktop app ships with): a trust ≥ 60 gate on the effective reputation, then cheapest-first among routable sellers; live failover state (per-peer cooldowns) is buyer-side runtime and not included. Model knowledge (TLDR, provider, About) via the VeniceStats enrichment layer. Advertised catalog, not the model used in any specific purchase. "Usage on Antseed" counts only settlements whose buyers share the per-model split on-chain (metadata v2/v3, opt-in), so every usage figure is a lower bound.
