Alibaba's Qwen 3.8 27B model scored 52 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, a standardized test of AI capability. This smaller model matched GPT-5.6 Luna and came close to much larger models like GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek V4 Pro. The result suggests a smaller model from Alibaba can perform as well as larger competitors on at least one measurement.
