How many parameters does Qwen3.8-Max have and how many are active per query?
Qwen3.8-Max has 2.4 trillion total parameters but uses a mixture-of-experts architecture that activates only around 95 billion parameters for any given query. This sparse activation design dramatically reduces the computing cost and response latency compared to running the full 2.4 trillion parameters on every request, which is how it stays economically viable at scale.
