The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
Qwen3.8-27B ranks #54 of 201 on the public leaderboard with a score of 55.26/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for a verified position.
Qwen3.8-27B is a open weight model with a 262K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Official exact-value snapshot from Qwen's Qwen3.8-27B model card. We keep Terminal-Bench 2.1 and LiveCodeBench v6 separate from the older weighted lanes, preserve no-Code-Interpreter and Code-Interpreter visual results on separate keys, and leave QwenSWEBench, RecreationBench, ClawEval-MM, and SWE-MM outside the schema instead of forcing them into non-equivalent fields. Qwen reports a dense 27B native vision-language model with a 262,144-token native context window extensible to 1,000,000 tokens.
Its explicit predecessor is Qwen3.6-27B. 33 of 486 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.
Its strongest eligible category is Multimodal & Grounded at #11, while its lowest eligible position is Knowledge at #59. particularly strong for screenshots, documents, charts, and grounded multimodal workflows.
Last updated September 28, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
Deployment options
Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.
Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

How does Qwen3.8-27B perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Qwen3.8-27B ranks #54 out of 201 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 55.26/100. Its evidence status is Estimated, and this profile shows 33 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.
Is Qwen3.8-27B good for knowledge and understanding?
Qwen3.8-27B ranks #59 out of 160 eligible models for knowledge and understanding, with a public category score of 49.2/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is Qwen3.8-27B good for coding and programming?
Qwen3.8-27B ranks #41 out of 136 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 48.7/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is Qwen3.8-27B good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?
Qwen3.8-27B ranks #16 out of 111 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 61.2/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is Qwen3.8-27B good for multimodal and grounded tasks?
Qwen3.8-27B ranks #11 out of 50 eligible models for multimodal and grounded tasks, with a public category score of 80.9/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is Qwen3.8-27B good for instruction following?
Qwen3.8-27B ranks #45 out of 124 eligible models for instruction following, with a public category score of 83.2/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is Qwen3.8-27B open source?
Qwen3.8-27B is an open-weight model from Alibaba. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.
Does Qwen3.8-27B have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. Qwen3.8-27B currently has 55 source-displayable rows across 486 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of Qwen3.8-27B?
Qwen3.8-27B has a documented context window of 262K. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
