Alibaba takes aim at OpenAI and Anthropic with Qwen3.8-Max launch

SMRTR summary
Alibaba launched Qwen3.8-Max, a 2.4-trillion-parameter AI model competing directly with OpenAI and Anthropic's offerings. It activates only 95 billion parameters per request, lowering inference costs. Analysts say this shift toward open-weight, efficient models gives enterprises credible alternatives to expensive proprietary AI, particularly for software engineering workloads.
