Qwen3.8 Omni Flash

alibaba/qwen3.8-omni-flash

The model that listens as well as reads

Alibaba's omni-modal model takes audio and video as well as text and images, across a 1M-token context, and answers in text. A voice note goes straight into a chat call: one request instead of transcribing first and asking a second model afterwards. 0.348 credits per 1K in, 1.089 per 1K out — audio is billed as ordinary input tokens, at the same rate as text.

What this model does well

  • 🎙️

    Audio & video in

    Send a voice note or a clip as part of the message, not as a separate transcription step

  • 🎁

    Free tier

    In the BUDGET group — a free account can call it without topping up

  • 📚

    1M context, flat rate

    A million tokens of context, one rate from the first token to the last

  • 📝

    131K output

    Up to 131K tokens in a single answer

  • 🧠

    Reasoning

    Thinks before answering

  • 🧾

    Tools & JSON mode

    Tool calls and structured output for pipelines

Example prompts

  • Here is a customer's voice note. Transcribe it, then tell me in one sentence what they are asking for.

  • From this spoken payment confirmation, return JSON with amount, currency, operator and reference.

Good to know

  • Its reasoning is billed as output. A short answer can still cost dozens of output tokens, so spend follows how much it thinks, not how long the reply is.
  • Audio counts as input tokens: a long recording is a long prompt, and it is billed like one.
  • Text, images, audio and video only — no PDF documents.
  • It answers about audio in text. For speech back, pair it with a voice model.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay with mobile money, without a bank card?

Yes. Top up your Tchavi account with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or another mobile money operator. No bank card is needed. Credits land as soon as the payment is confirmed and are deducted as you use them.

Is the API compatible with OpenAI's?

Yes. Keep your current OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL to Tchavi's (shown in the API tab) and use your Tchavi key. The rest of your code stays the same.

API

import Tchavi from '@tchavi/sdk';

const client = new Tchavi({ apiKey: 'API_KEY' });

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'qwen3.8-omni-flash',
  messages: [
  {
    "role": "user",
    "content": "Hello!"
  }
],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
console.log('Credits used:', response.tchavi.credits_used);

API parameters

Every parameter this model accepts on the API. Check the SDK for full typings.

modelRequired
string

ID of the chat model (e.g. `qwen3.8-omni-flash`).

messagesRequired
Array<{ role, content }>

Conversation messages. Each item has a `role` (system/user/assistant) and a `content` that's either a plain string or an array of content blocks (`text`, `image_url`, `document_url`).

temperature
number
Default: 1

Sampling temperature between 0 and 2. Higher values = more random.

max_tokens
integer

Maximum number of tokens to generate in the response.

max_completion_tokens
integer

OpenAI alias for `max_tokens`. Either field works; if both are sent, `max_completion_tokens` wins.

stream
boolean
Default: false

If true, partial message deltas are streamed as Server-Sent Events.

tools
Array<{ type, function }>

Function-calling toolbox. Pass an array of `{ type: "function", function: { name, description, parameters } }`. Returned tool calls land in `choices[].message.tool_calls`. Only models with `supportsTools: true` accept this.

tool_choice
"auto" | "none" | { type, function }

How the model picks among tools: `"auto"` (default), `"none"` to force a plain text reply, or `{ type: "function", function: { name } }` to force a specific tool. Only with `supportsTools: true`.

response_format
{ type: "json_object" | "text" }

Constrain the output. Pass `{ type: "json_object" }` to force valid JSON (the model still needs a JSON instruction in your prompt). Only models with `supportsJsonMode: true` honour this.

Show all parameters (19)
top_p
number
Default: 1

Nucleus sampling: only tokens in the top `top_p` probability mass are considered.

seed
integer

Integer seed for deterministic output. The same seed + identical request yields the same completion when supported by the provider. OpenAI honours it; Anthropic ignores.

n
integer
Default: 1

Number of completions to generate in one call. Defaults to 1; each extra completion is billed.

stream_options
{ include_usage?: boolean }

Streaming options, e.g. `{ "include_usage": true }` to receive a final SSE chunk with usage counts. Effective only when `stream: true`.

stop
string | string[]

Up to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens.

frequency_penalty
number
Default: 0

Between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize tokens that have appeared frequently.

presence_penalty
number
Default: 0

Between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values encourage the model to talk about new topics.

user
string

End-user identifier passed to the upstream provider for abuse / moderation tracking. Should be stable per end-user.

logit_bias
Record<string, number>

Per-token logit bias `{ "<tokenId>": <-100..100>, ... }`. OpenAI-specific; Anthropic ignores silently.

messages[].content[].image_url
string

Attach an image on a user message. Pass a content block `{ "type": "image_url", "image_url": { "url": ... } }`. PNG / JPEG / WebP, up to 4 per request. Only models with `supportsImageInput: true` accept this block (e.g. `gpt-4o`, `claude-opus-4-7`).
