Qwen3.8 Max 0902 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-max-0902. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.

curl https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "qwen3-8-max-0902",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about the ocean."}
    ]
  }'

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(

Qwen3.8 Max 0902 API parameters

Request parameters supported by the Qwen3.8 Max 0902 API on EmpirioLabs. Defaults apply when a field is omitted.

Good to know

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. This id is pinned to the September 2, 2026 snapshot and will not change. The rolling qwen3-8-max id serves the same build since September 5, 2026 and will move to future snapshots.

Per-tool billing (usage.tool_usage)

When this model invokes built-in tools inside a single request, the response carries a normalized usage.tool_usage map alongside the token counts:

"usage": {
  "prompt_tokens": 123,
  "completion_tokens": 456,
  "cost_usd": 0.0042,
  "tool_usage": {"web_search": 3, "code_interpreter": 1}
}

Tool counts are already factored into cost_usd and are surfaced for transparency so you can audit per-tool billing. The field is omitted when no tools were invoked.
