Qwen has a pinned tweet stating that 3.8 will be released as open weights soon. I guess it remains to be seen, though, if they’ll do the smaller model sizes or only the big 2.4T one.

Most interesting part IMO is whatever Qwen open weight will include image / video capabilities since its where they are strongest.

Also base models versions are very useful for researchers, since they allow for a cold start to post training.
