Alibaba has released Qwen 3.8, a 2.4 trillion parameter open-weight model that the company claims trails only Fable 5. The multimodal model processes images, videos, and documents, with a preview available through Alibaba's platforms at 10 percent of standard pricing.

Chinese company Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, an open source model that the company claims demonstrates frontier-level performance while trailing only Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol. Independent analyses from Arena.ai and Vals AI suggest the model is competitive with flagship frontier models, reigniting debate about Chinese AI capabilities and open source model development.

GitHub has extended access to Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.7 model to Copilot Business and Enterprise customers. The model was initially made available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, and Max plans on July 1, 2026.
