This repository contains FP8-quantized model weights and configuration files for the post-trained model in the Hugging Face Transformers format. These artifacts are compatible with Hugging Face Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, TokenSpeed, etc. The quantization method is fine-grained fp8 quantization with block size of 128, and its performance metrics are nearly identical to those of the original model.
For users seeking managed, scalable inference without infrastructure maintenance, the official Qwen API service is provided by Qwen Cloud. In particular, Qwen3.8-27B will be available as a hosted version with more production features, e.g., 1M context length by default, official built-in tools. For more information, please refer to the Qwen3.8-27B Overview. The service is coming soon. Stay tuned for updates.
Following the widespread community adoption of the Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6 series, we are pleased to introduce Qwen3.8, the most capable generation in the Qwen open-model family to date.
Built on the architectural foundation of Qwen3.5, Qwen3.8 delivers substantial gains across coding, professional work, research, and long-horizon agentic tasks. Qwen3.8-27B brings these advances to a compact, deployment-friendly dense model: a native vision-language model that understands images and videos, with flexible thinking control, designed to carry complex, multi-step tasks through to completion with greater reliability.
Qwen3.8 Highlights
Qwen3.8-27B features the following enhancements:
Core Capabilities : Comprehensive improvements across coding, professional work, research, and long-horizon agentic tasks.
: Comprehensive improvements across coding, professional work, research, and long-horizon agentic tasks. Agent Execution : Stronger autonomous planning and better handling of environment feedback, leading to more reliable end-to-end task completion.
: Stronger autonomous planning and better handling of environment feedback, leading to more reliable end-to-end task completion. Downstream Compatibility : Broader support for popular harnesses and development tools, making it easier to integrate into your existing stack.
: Broader support for popular harnesses and development tools, making it easier to integrate into your existing stack. Flexible Thinking Control : Thinking mode is on by default and can be disabled per request; reasoning depth can be tuned with reasoning_effort , and reasoning context from historical messages is retained via preserve_thinking .
