Qwen3.8 Omni Flash

Notable release: A meaningful new model: a new size or version, or a strong free-to-download model from a known lab.

Alibaba released a fast AI model that can understand audio and video directly, suited to summarizing recordings and clips, for developers.

This came out before trckr began following OpenRouter, so it was added on Nov 6 without an alert. Its release date comes from models.dev.
