A source-backed map of Qwen3.8 and Qwen3.7 models, open weights, Qwen Cloud APIs, Qwen Code, Token Plan and multimodal products.
Short answer
Qwen models, Qwen Studio, Qwen Code and Qwen Cloud are Alibaba/Qwen surfaces, but their access, licenses and billing are not interchangeable. QwenPaw is an AgentScope project that uses Qwen rather than an Alibaba-owned Qwen product.
Alibaba Cloud
Qwen Cloud makes Qwen available for global evaluation through an English marketplace, docs, pricing and compatible API paths.
Best fit · Developers evaluating the Qwen3.8 line, Qwen Cloud APIs, coding agents and multimodal Chinese model coverage from an English international platform.
Coverage · 100/100
Alibaba Cloud
Qwen Code is a distinct AI coding product and should be tracked separately from Qwen Cloud models or token plans.
Best fit · Developers who want a terminal coding agent for Qwen models and prefer open-source tooling with editor integrations.
Coverage · 100/100
Alibaba Cloud
Token Plan is a distinct commercial route for Qwen Cloud and affects how overseas developers actually consume the models.
Best fit · Developers who want a subscription-style Qwen Cloud route for coding tools and compatible agents.
Coverage · 100/100 · backfill: sources
Alibaba Cloud
Qwen image models are visible in the international marketplace and deserve a separate image-category entry.
Best fit · Teams evaluating Chinese image-generation APIs with English docs and Qwen Cloud billing.
Coverage · 100/100
Alibaba Cloud
Qwen Cloud now exposes video generation in its English marketplace and docs, so Qwen should not be represented only as an LLM.
Best fit · Developers who want Qwen Cloud API access to Chinese video generation models.
Coverage · 100/100
Alibaba Cloud
Qwen Cloud has enough official audio evidence to warrant a separate audio-category profile.
Best fit · Teams evaluating Chinese speech synthesis, voice cloning, ASR and realtime speech APIs through an English platform.
Coverage · 100/100
Alibaba Cloud
Qwen Cloud includes retrieval infrastructure models, so Qwen coverage should include more than chat and generation.
Best fit · Teams building RAG, semantic search or ranking pipelines around Chinese and multilingual content.
Coverage · 96/100 · backfill: sources
Alibaba Cloud
Qwen-AgentWorld is tracked separately from Qwen Code because its public surface is a language world model plus AgentWorldBench, not a terminal coding product.
Best fit · Researchers and agent builders who need a simulator or benchmark for tool, terminal, SWE, Android, web and OS agent environments.
Coverage · 100/100
AgentScope AI
QwenPaw belongs in Productivity because it is a worker runtime for collaborative agent orchestration, not a direct model API or a full coding IDE.
Best fit · Teams that want a browser-friendly worker runtime inside a transparent multi-agent room rather than a monolithic assistant.

Apache-2.0 dense 27B multimodal Qwen model for text, image and video understanding with reasoning and tool use.
Qwen frontier model tuned for agent frameworks, coding assistants and long tasks.
Multimodal Qwen workhorse for long-context agents, visual inputs and coding.
Hosted Qwen coding model for software agents, repository edits and long-context code work.
Separate hosted model IDs from downloadable weights, then compare context, modalities, license and infrastructure on the same workload.
The hosted flagship for long-horizon coding, professional work and native visual understanding.
Open 125B/6B-active experimental architecture with native vision, 262K context and an optional 1M extension.
The open Max-class text model with a custom license and substantial serving requirements.
The Apache-2.0 dense multimodal option for text, image and video input.
Qwen Studio, Cloud APIs, Token Plan, Qwen Code and self-hosting solve different procurement and workflow problems.
International model marketplace and compatible APIs across language and multimodal models.
Open-source terminal agent with interactive, headless, IDE and SDK paths.
Subscription access for compatible coding tools; quotas and API billing remain separate decisions.
Use the decision guide to select a model, access path and coding or multimodal workflow without mixing cloud and open-weight terms.
A source-backed map of Qwen3.8 and Qwen3.7 models, open weights, Qwen Cloud APIs, Qwen Code, Token Plan and multimodal products.
Start with Qwen3.8-Max for the hosted flagship, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next for an efficient open architecture preview, Qwen3.8-27B for an Apache-2.0 dense multimodal deployment, Qwen Code for terminal agent work, and Qwen Cloud for broad managed APIs.
Qwen models, Qwen Studio, Qwen Code and Qwen Cloud are Alibaba/Qwen surfaces, but their access, licenses and billing are not interchangeable. QwenPaw is an AgentScope project that uses Qwen rather than an Alibaba-owned Qwen product.
