Alibaba's Qwen 3.8 Max is now available on Vercel AI Gateway, accessible via model ID alibaba/qwen3.8-max. The model runs 2.4 trillion parameters across a 1 million token context window and handles both text and vision tasks in a single call.
The practical range is broad: software engineering, document work, screenshot-to-code conversion, video captioning, and image-grounded Q&A. For coding agent workflows, running vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setup connects it directly to Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi.
The full changelog is worth reading for the infrastructure details. AI Gateway charges no platform fee and no markup on inference, including BYOK requests, and the routing layer adds failover, retries, Zero Data Retention, per-key budgets, and custom reporting on top of raw provider uptime.
