Qwen releases Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash, a multimodal agent model processing audio and video that matches Gemini 3.8 Flash on benchmarks at lower API cost.
Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash is Qwen's first multimodal model designed for AI agents. It processes audio and video together and independently uses tools to edit vlogs, translate clips, or summarize movies. On audio-video benchmarks, it nearly matches Gemini 3.8 Flash at a fraction of the API cost.
