Alibaba Releases 2.4 Trillion-Parameter AI Model on Amazon SageMaker
On August 12, 2026, Alibaba's Qwen team released Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B, a model with 2.4 trillion total parameters and a hybrid linear-plus-full-attention architecture.
This is the first time a Qwen-Max-class model has been made available as open weights, giving users full control over their data and inference behavior without per-token API fees at scale.
To deploy this massive model on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, users need purpose-built GPU infrastructure and an optimized serving stack.
