Text, image, audio, and video input are supported, and the model replies in text. Thinking is on by default; use enable_thinking to turn it off and thinking_budget to cap it at up to 262144 tokens. Thinking tokens are billed as output tokens. Web search is an optional built-in tool exposed through tool_web_search and adds $0.02 for each invoked call; a single request can invoke it more than once, and each invoked call is billed. For audio input, pass the file as a URL or a base64 data URI. A video's soundtrack is billed as audio tokens alongside its video tokens.
Text, image, and video input are supported. Web search, web extractor, code interpreter, text-to-image search, and image-to-image search are optional built-in tools exposed through tool_* parameters. Web search, text-to-image search, and image-to-image search add $0.02 for each invoked call; web extractor and code interpreter run at no extra cost. Web extractor requires web search, and both web extractor and code interpreter require thinking. A single request can invoke a tool more than once, and each invoked call is billed. Thinking tokens are billed as output tokens. The qwen3-8-max id always serves the current Qwen3.8 Max build and moves with Alibaba's snapshot upgrades; since September 5, 2026 it serves the qwen3-8-max-0902 snapshot. Use qwen3-8-max-0902 when output must stay pinned to that exact snapshot.
Qwen3.8 Omni Flash serves the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1 with your EmpirioLabs API key and use the model id qwen3-8-omni-flash. Both models are called through the same endpoint. Set model to qwen3-8-omni-flash or qwen3-8-max. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.
