📢 Big release: New video model 🚀
Introducing Hyperion 2.5: convert 8-bit AI video into true HDR - ProRes 10-bit, EXR 16-bit, H.265 10-bit. AI footage can finally sit alongside live action in professional and VFX pipelines. Available now in Astra, coming soon to Topaz Video
We promised open weights for Qwen3.8. Now, time to meet them! 🎉
⚡ Qwen3.8-27B:
- A native multimodal dense model. With just 27B parameters, it outperforms Qwen3.7-Plus overall and shines in real-world coding & office workflows.
- 262K native context, easily extendable to 1M tokens via YaRN.
- Built for builders. Highly efficient, high-quality, and licensed under Apache 2.0.
🚀 The open weights for Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B (Max-level) have also been released recently.
Whether you're shipping lightweight applications with Qwen3.8-27B locally or building agents with Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B, they're yours now!
Download, deploy, and build something we haven't imagined yet. 👀👇

Anthropic had the biggest miscalculation in AI 2026:
1. They underestimated the progress others made, and thought they can win forever.
2. Thus, they assumed their customers will continue to tolerate their terrible policies (pricing, random usage limits, bad data retention, arbitrary access removal etc.) and cocky PR because they are AGI. They didn't invest in building customer trust because they thought they didn't need to.
3. They also assumed by simply painting open-weight as dangerous and unsafe, they can persuade enterprises to not touch them and persuade government to ban them.
4. They knew user data in Claude Code is how they win, yet their bad user policy/pricing gave aways their already-sticky users to Codex/Grok/etc, enabling others to capture equally valuable user data on their own.
5. Meanwhile, they didn't invest enough in owning their compute, instead putting itself in a vulnerable position at the mercy of @elonmusk, their competitor.
When a strong open-weight provider catches up(@thinkymachines, Kimi, GLM etc.), people suddenly realized Claude has 1. no pricing advantage 2. no compute advantage 3. no branding advantage (already broke enterprise trust, pissed off prosumers, and consumers don't know Claude exists)
Anthropic needs some serious strategy pivots. The status quo won't work at all for them. They still have the highest caliber talents, so I am still hopefully they will change for the better. But simply a better model than Fable isn't going to be enough to turn things around IMO.
Qwen3.8 is launching and going open-weight soon!🌐
With a massive 2.4T parameters, this model is continuously evolving. We believe it’s one of the most powerful model available today, compatible to leading frontier AI models , second only to Fable 5.
You don't have to wait to test it. Just now, the Qwen3.8-Max-Preview made its debut on Alibaba’s Token Plan, Qoder, and QoderWork. Be among the very first to try it out.
Can't wait to hear what you build. Stay tuned! 🚀
