Qwen launches Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash multimodal agent model and undercuts Gemini Flash pricing
Qwen announced Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash, its first multimodal agent-focused model with a one‑million‑token context window that processes audio and video together, performs tasks like vlog editing and movie summarization, and supports real‑time interaction via Qwen‑Live Harness. API pricing is $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.47 per million output tokens (Qwen estimates audio input under $0.01/hour and 720p video at 1 fps about $0.20/hour), and the model is available through Qwen Studio, Qwen Cloud and the Qwen API; Qwen also published open-source Qwen-MM-Plugins for agent integrations.
