Model creator

Alibaba Cloud

The creator of the Qwen model family. The Qwen team’s own Hugging Face organization states that Qwen "refers to the large language model family built by Alibaba Cloud", and this dataset records Alibaba Cloud as the creator on that basis. The team does not write the attribution identically everywhere: the QwenLM/Qwen3.8 repository credits "Qwen team, Alibaba Group", the parent company, while the Hugging Face profile credits Alibaba Cloud. That conflict is recorded rather than resolved. Qwen models are offered by clouds Alibaba Cloud does not operate, including Amazon SageMaker JumpStart; being served somewhere is never evidence of who built the model.

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next

A sparse mixture-of-experts model published as downloadable weights and described by its own card as "This experimental preview of the architecture that will underpin Qwen4", distinguished there from Qwen3.8-Flash, "the official version based on Qwen3.8-Flash-Next with more production features". Its card gives the parameter count as "125B with 6B activated, plus 51B n-gram embedding and 4B MTP"; only the activated count is recorded, because the card states no single total and this dataset does not add a main-model figure to an embedding table to manufacture one. The native context length is 262,144 tokens, which the card says is extensible to 1,000,000; the native figure is what the field holds. The creator’s launch post sits on qwen.ai, an origin outside this dataset’s approved set, so nothing is cited from it.
