Qwen4-Max Preview Goes Live on Alibaba's Token Plan, First of Qwen4 Family
meshive · reddit · 2026-11-11
Qwen announced Qwen4-Max in preview on Nov 11, the first model of the Qwen4 generation, with the announcement opening "Qwen4 is coming" — the rest of the family isn't out yet.
- Access: Alibaba's Token Plan (qwen4-max-preview, limited-time 80% discount), plus early access in QwenWork, Qoder, Qwen App and QwenStudio
- Capabilities: text generation, reasoning, visual understanding; pitched at complex coding, knowledge work, front-end builds and professional software workflows
- Missing: no benchmarks, context length or parameter count; no open weights — nothing under the Qwen org on Hugging Face yet
- Token Plan works with OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible tools: Qwen Code, Cline, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode and more
All quality claims are Qwen's own; no independent evals exist yet.
