Qwen4-Max Preview by Alibaba added to BenchGecko
Alibaba's first Qwen4 model opens as a two week preview · 1M token context and 393,216 output tokens · Token Plan only, no per token price yet.
What was added
Qwen4-Max Preview by Alibaba is now listed on BenchGecko. Alibaba opened it on November 11, 2026 as the first model of the Qwen4 family and calls it the next generation flagship multimodal model in the Qwen line. The API model id is qwen4-max-preview.
Context and output
Alibaba Cloud Model Studio lists a context length of 1M tokens and a maximum output of 393,216 tokens. That output cap covers thinking and the final answer together, so long reasoning leaves less room for the answer. The model accepts text, images and video, returns text, and has thinking enabled by default with an adjustable reasoning effort.
Access and pricing
The preview runs from 10:00 on November 11 to 24:00 on November 25, 2026 (UTC+8), and Alibaba says the model will be retired when it ends. Access is through Token Plan subscriptions only, with no pay per token billing, so BenchGecko shows no per million token price for this model. Token Plan Individual starts at $6 per month for 20,000 Credits and goes up to $43 per month for 200,000 Credits. During the preview, Qwen4-Max Preview uses as little as 20% of the standard Credits rate, and 8% between 22:00 and 08:00 (UTC+8).
Benchmarks
Alibaba has not published benchmark scores for the preview on the pages BenchGecko read. BenchGecko has no independent scores yet and will add them to the model page as they arrive, along with a per token price if Alibaba opens pay per token access.
