Quickstart

For streamlined integration, we recommend using Qwen3.8 via APIs.

Serving Qwen3.8

[!Important] Inference efficiency and throughput vary significantly across frameworks. We recommend using the latest framework versions to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. For production workloads or high-throughput scenarios, dedicated serving engines such as SGLang, vLLM, or TokenSpeed are recommended.

Qwen3.8 can be deployed with popular inference frameworks, e.g.:

API Usage

[!Important] Qwen3.8 models operate in thinking mode by default, generating thinking content signified by <think>\n...</think>\n\n before producing the final response. To disable thinking content and obtain a direct response, refer to the examples here.

[!Tip] We recommend using the following sets of sampling parameters for generation:

Thinking Mode: temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0

Instruct (or non-thinking) mode: temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0

Please note that the support for sampling parameters varies according to inference frameworks.

Qwen3.8 comes with official support for reasoning_effort, which can be used to adjust reasoning depth and control cost:

xhigh (default): for complex tasks demanding thorough analysis
medium: balancing accuracy and speed
low: efficient reasoning optimizing for speed and cost

In addition, preserve_thinking is enabled by default for all workloads for the best out-of-the-box experience. To disable preserved thinking, refer to the examples here.

[!Tip] In multi-turn agentic tasks, lower reasoning effort does not always reduce overall task completion time. Although it may produce faster per-turn responses, it can also lead to insufficient analysis, more failures, and repeated retries, which may increase total latency and token consumption.

Chat Completions API

The Chat Completions API can be used with most inference frameworks, as well as Qwen Cloud. Before starting, make sure the OpenAI Python SDK is installed and the API key and the API base URL are configured, e.g.:

shell

pip install -U openai

# Set the following accordingly
export OPENAI_BASE_URL='your-base-url'
export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key'

Text-Only Input

python

from openai import OpenAI

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B",
    messages=messages,
    extra_body={
        "chat_template_kwargs": {
            "enable_thinking": True,  # on by default
            "preserve_thinking": True, # on by default
        },

    if hasattr(delta, "reasoning_content") and delta.reasoning_content is not None:
        if not is_answering:
            print(delta.reasoning_content, end="", flush=True)
        reasoning_content += delta.reasoning_content
    elif hasattr(delta, "reasoning") and delta.reasoning is not None:

#     }, 
# )

print("Chat response:", chat_response)

Instruct (or Non-Thinking) Mode

Qwen3.8-27B will think by default before responding. You can obtain a direct response from the model without thinking by configuring the API parameters. For example,

python

from openai import OpenAI
# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image_url",
                "image_url": {
                    "url": "https://qianwen-res.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3.5/demo/RealWorld/RealWorld-04.png"
                }
            },
            {
                "type": "text",
                "text": "Where is this?"
            }
        ]
    }
]

chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B",
    messages=messages,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.8,
    presence_penalty=1.5,
    extra_body={
        "top_k": 20,
        "chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": False},
    }, 
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

[!Note] If you are using APIs from Qwen Cloud, in addition to changing model, please use "enable_thinking": False instead of "chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": False}.

Disable Preserved Thinking

By default, Qwen3.8 retains thinking blocks from all historical messages, maintaining a complete reasoning trace across the conversation. This behavior, known as preserved thinking, ensures full context continuity and is especially beneficial for agent scenarios where decision consistency and reduced redundant reasoning are critical. It also improves KV cache utilization, optimizing inference efficiency in both thinking and non-thinking modes.

If you prefer to retain only the thinking blocks from the latest user message, you can disable this behavior by setting preserve_thinking to False:

python

from openai import OpenAI

# Configured by environment variables
client = OpenAI()
messages = [...]
chat_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B",
    messages=messages,
    extra_body={
        "chat_template_kwargs": {"preserve_thinking": False},
    },
)
print("Chat response:", chat_response)

[!Note] If you are using APIs from Qwen Cloud, in addition to changing model, please use "preserve_thinking": False directly instead of wrapping it in chat_template_kwargs.

Best Practices

To achieve optimal performance, we recommend the following settings:

Sampling Parameters: We suggest using the following sets of sampling parameters:
- Thinking Mode: temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=0.0, repetition_penalty=1.0
- Instruct (or non-thinking) mode: temperature=0.7, top_p=0.80, top_k=20, min_p=0.0, presence_penalty=1.5, repetition_penalty=1.0
For supported frameworks, you can adjust the presence_penalty parameter between 0 and 2 to reduce endless repetition. However, using a higher value may occasionally result in language mixing and a slight decrease in model performance.
Adequate Output Length: To optimize performance on agentic tasks, we recommend allocating sufficient output length to allow the model to generate detailed and comprehensive responses. For frameworks that support separate token limits for internal reasoning and final outputs, we suggest the following configuration within the 1M context length:
- Reasoning Content: Set the maximum output length to 262,144 tokens.
- Final Response: Set the maximum output length to 131,072 tokens.
These settings provide the necessary capacity for complex reasoning while ensuring ample space for high-quality final deliverables.
Processing Ultra-Long Texts: Qwen3.8-27B natively supports context lengths of up to 262,144 tokens. For long-horizon tasks where the total length (including both input and output) exceeds this limit, we recommend using RoPE scaling techniques to handle long texts effectively, e.g., YaRN.

YaRN is currently supported by several inference frameworks, e.g., vLLM, SGLang, and TokenSpeed. In general, there are two approaches to enabling YaRN for supported frameworks:
- Modifying the model configuration file:
  
  In the config.json file, change the rope_parameters fields in text_config to:
  
  json
  1{ 2 "mrope_interleaved": true, 3 "mrope_section": [ 4 11, 5 11, 6 10 7 ], 8 "rope_type": "yarn", 9 "rope_theta": 10000000, 10 "partial_rotary_factor": 0.25, 11 "factor": 4.0, 12 "original_max_position_embeddings": 262144, 13}
- Passing command line arguments:
  
  For vLLM, you can use
  
  VLLM_ALLOW_LONG_MAX_MODEL_LEN=1 vllm serve ... --hf-overrides '{"text_config": {"rope_parameters": {"mrope_interleaved": true, "mrope_section": [11, 11, 10], "rope_type": "yarn", "rope_theta": 10000000, "partial_rotary_factor": 0.25, "factor": 4.0, "original_max_position_embeddings": 262144}}}' --max-model-len 1000000
  
  For SGLang, you can use
  
  SGLANG_ALLOW_OVERWRITE_LONGER_CONTEXT_LEN=1 python -m sglang.launch_server ... --json-model-override-args '{"text_config": {"rope_parameters": {"mrope_interleaved": true, "mrope_section": [11, 11, 10], "rope_type": "yarn", "rope_theta": 10000000, "partial_rotary_factor": 0.25, "factor": 4.0, "original_max_position_embeddings": 262144}}}' --context-length 1000000
  
  For TokenSpeed, you can use
  
  TOKENSPEED_ALLOW_OVERWRITE_LONGER_CONTEXT_LEN=1 tokenspeed serve ... --hf-overrides '{"text_config": {"rope_parameters": {"mrope_interleaved": true, "mrope_section": [11, 11, 10], "rope_type": "yarn", "rope_theta": 10000000, "partial_rotary_factor": 0.25, "factor": 4.0, "original_max_position_embeddings": 262144}}}' --max-model-len 1000000
[!NOTE] All the notable open-source frameworks implement static YaRN, which means the scaling factor remains constant regardless of input length, potentially impacting performance on shorter texts. We advise modifying the rope_parameters configuration only when processing long contexts is required. It is also recommended to modify the factor as needed. For example, if the typical context length for your application is 524,288 tokens, it would be better to set factor as 2.0.
Long Video Understanding: To optimize inference efficiency for plain text and images, the size parameter in the released video_preprocessor_config.json is conservatively configured. It is recommended to set the longest_edge parameter in the video_preprocessor_config file to 469,762,048 (corresponding to 224k video tokens) to enable higher frame-rate sampling for hour-scale videos and thereby achieve superior performance. For example,

{"longest_edge": 469762048, "shortest_edge": 4096}

Alternatively, override the default values via engine startup parameters. For implementation details, refer to: vLLM / SGLang.
