AlibabaProprietaryPending Human Review

Qwen3-Max-Thinking is the separately positioned hosted reasoning model in the Qwen3-Max line. Large-scale reinforcement learning and test-time scaling target factual knowledge, complex reasoning, and agent tasks. Adaptive tool use selects search and code interpretation when needed. Qwen Chat and a named Alibaba Cloud API expose the model, including dated serving snapshots. Its weights are not publicly downloadable; model-specific limits should be taken from the hosted service rather than inferred from open Qwen3 checkpoints.

IndustryLLM

Alibaba

IndustryLLM is Alibaba’s open-weight language model for industrial procurement and engineering-standard reasoning. It adapts Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Base through continued pre-training on industrial documents and transactions followed by task-focused supervised fine-tuning. The 35.95B-parameter hybrid mixture-of-experts network activates approximately 3B per token. Training targets informal buyer language, ambiguous product codes, contradictory specifications, and evidence-based constraint evaluation. Apache-licensed BF16 weights are published. Its 262K architectural context is distinct from 12,288-token packed fine-tuning sequences; this record uses the supported training length conservatively. The September 25 paper predates later discovery-index coverage.

Qwen-Audio-3.1-Realtime

Alibaba

Qwen-Audio-3.1-Realtime is a proprietary language-capable speech conversation model for fluid real-time dialogue. It combines speech reasoning with duplex interaction, allowing conversational responses rather than only transcription or speech synthesis. The 3.1 Plus update supports a 262,144-token context, function calling, web search, voice cloning, and additional system voices, while retaining the 3.0 Plus integration protocol. Hosted streaming APIs provide access; no downloadable weights or checkpoint parameter count is verified.

Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash

Alibaba

Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash is a native omnimodal agent model built on the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next architecture. It accepts text, images, audio, and video in a million-token context, extending coding, GUI operation, and knowledge work to audio-visual productivity. Standard APIs return text, while the subsequently available Realtime variant supports text and speech output, multichannel audio, video aggregation, and remote MCP tools. Hosted access and companion plugins support video editing, multimedia summarization, and real-time conversations; its weights are not publicly released.
