## Source excerpt

Qwen 3.8 Flash from Alibaba is now available on AI Gateway. It takes text and images as input, serves a context window of 1 million tokens, and can return up to 65k tokens in a response. Alibaba recommends it for coding, tool use, and multi-step agent workflows. To use Qwen3.8-Flash, set model to alibaba/qwen3.8-flash in the AI SDK: To use it in a coding agent, see the coding agents guide, then run vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setup to connect agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, Pi, and more and select alibaba/qwen3.8-flash inside the agent. Try Qwen3.8-Flash in the model playground. AI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime. It includes built-in custom reporting, Zero Data Retention support, budgets for API keys, routing rules, and more. AI Gateway reflects provider pricing with no markup and does not charge a platform fee on inference, including on Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) requests. Read more
