Alibaba opens Qwen4-Max preview: 1M-token context, Token Plan subscription only
emmanuelvivier · x · 2026-11-12
Alibaba Cloud has launched Qwen4-Max-Preview, the next-generation flagship multimodal model in the Qwen family, in preview: 1M-token context, up to 393,216 output tokens, thinking enabled by default with adjustable reasoningeffort.
Capabilities span text generation, image and video understanding, deep reasoning, function calling, web search and structured outputs, with OpenAI and Anthropic API compatibility. It targets coding, office productivity, frontend design and complex agentic tasks.
Caveat: during the preview window (Nov 11–25) access is Token Plan subscription only — no pay-as-you-go — and the model will be retired when the preview ends.
