Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash undercuts Google's Gemini Flash pricing while matching its multimodal benchmarks
decoder ·
Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash is Qwen's first multimodal model designed for AI agents. It can process audio and video together, draw conclusions, and use tools autonomously for tasks such as editing vlogs, translating short videos, and summarizing movies. The model has a one-million-token context window, and Qwen says it performs close to Gemini 3.8 Flash on audio-video tasks and multimodal benchmarks. Its API costs $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.47 per million output tokens, with estimated audio input costs below $0.01 per hour. By comparison, Gemini 3.8 Flash costs $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens at its introductory rate, with those prices scheduled to double on January 1, 2027. Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash is available through Qwen Studio, Qwen Cloud, and the API, while related tools support video editing, speaker recognition, PDF video notes, reusable workflows, and real-time camera and microphone interaction.
