Instructions to use Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Small models are benchmark for the algorithm

Qwen3.6 27B and 35B beat many much larger models. It demonstrates that the algorithm behind Qwen’s models is very excellent.

I think in the future, the world will focus more on smaller and stronger models instead of bigger and bigger ones. It may mean that math should come first, followed by computer science.

I hope the Qwen team will keep this strategy: smaller and stronger.

The world is waiting for Qwen3.8 27B. This model could become very popular in a very short time.

Thank Qwen so much.

I’m not sure benchmark results alone prove that smaller models are fundamentally stronger.

Smaller models can get really good at specific benchmarks through benchmark hacking or learning benchmark-specific patterns, without having the same general capabilities as larger models.

That’s why bigger models still matter... not just for benchmark scores, but as teachers to distill more general capabilities into smaller models.

So IMO, the future isn’t simply “smaller is better,” but finding better ways to transfer the capabilities of bigger models into much smaller ones.
