Will Qwen4 Plus be open weights? Reddit reads Alibaba's release patterns
Dense-Ad6315 · reddit · 2026-11-08
As Qwen4 nears release, a Reddit thread debates whether the Plus tier will ship with open weights, leaning optimistic: Alibaba already open-sourced models as large as 2.4T params with Qwen3.8, and released Qwen3.5 397B A17B as the open-weight counterpart to Plus — though 3.6/3.7 Plus stayed closed.
Another clue: an Apsara conference slide groups Flash and Plus in the same box while Max and 27B stand alone, hinting they may share architecture at different scales. Given Qwen3.8 FN was open-weighted, Flash open-sourcing seems likely too.
