On August 3, Qwen3.8-Max officially goes live on Qoder, with first-day support across all clients.
Qwen3.8-Max is the latest-generation foundation model in the Tongyi Qianwen (Qwen) series, with 2.4T parameters. Compared with the previous flagship, Qwen3.7-Max, it delivers across-the-board improvements in core capabilities such as code engineering, professional office work, and deep reasoning.
August also marks Qoder's first anniversary. Qoder launched last August, and along the way it has served over 5 million users worldwide.
To celebrate Qoder's first anniversary and the launch of this new model, we're offering you three rewards:
Recommend Qoder to your colleagues and friends: when a friend signs up as a new user through your personal invitation link and, within 14 days of registration (and no later than the end of the campaign), completes a conversation on Qoder Desktop, the JetBrains plugin, Qoder CLI, or QoderWake with at least 1 credit consumed, the referral counts as successful and you receive 400 credits. General credits can be used to call models including Qwen3.8-Max — the more friends you invite, the longer you can keep using the new model.
A referral counts as successful only when all of the following conditions are met:
The following do not count as successful referrals. The corresponding rewards will not be granted, and any rewards already granted will be revoked:
We monitor and review referral data throughout the entire campaign period. Where participation is found to involve irregular means, we reserve the right to disqualify the referrals concerned, revoke the rewards (including those already granted), and impose restrictions on the accounts involved. If you believe a decision has been made in error, you may submit an appeal within 7 days of receiving the notice via Submit a ticket, and we will respond after review.
To help developers make full use of low-demand compute periods, Qwen3.8-Max offers a time-based credit-multiplier discount: 50% off during off-peak hours (daily from 22:00 to 08:00 the next day, UTC+8), and full price during regular hours, ensuring smooth use around the clock. It takes effect automatically for paying users and trial users — no sign-up needed.
- Qwen3.8-Max limited-time gift: Both newly registered users and existing paying users can claim 800 free Qwen3.8-Max calls; placing an order during the event adds another 2,000 calls.
- Off-peak discount: Qwen3.8-Max is full price during the day and 50% off at night — use the new model freely during off-peak hours.
- Invite friends for credits: For each new friend you successfully invite, you get 400 credits; general credits can be used to call models including Qwen3.8-Max — the more you invite, the longer you can keep using the new model.

Invite Friends, Earn Rewards Together
Recommend Qoder to your colleagues and friends: when a friend signs up as a new user through your personal invitation link and, within 14 days of registration (and no later than the end of the campaign), completes a conversation on Qoder Desktop, the JetBrains plugin, Qoder CLI, or QoderWake with at least 1 credit consumed, the referral counts as successful and you receive 400 credits. General credits can be used to call models including Qwen3.8-Max — the more friends you invite, the longer you can keep using the new model.
How to Participate
- Get your personal invitation link from the "Invite" entry on the official website or in the latest version of any Qoder client.
- Share the link with your colleagues and friends.
- Once your friend registers and signs in through your link and, within 14 days of registration (and no later than the end of the campaign), completes at least one conversation with at least 1 credit consumed on Qoder Desktop, the Qoder JetBrains plugin, Qoder CLI, or QoderWake, the referral counts as successful and the credits are awarded automatically.
Campaign Period
- Start: August 3, 2026, 10:00 (UTC+8)
- End: September 3, 2026, 23:59 (UTC+8)
- Both the registration and the qualifying activity must be completed within the campaign period. If a referred user registers less than 14 days before the campaign ends, the campaign end time applies; conversations completed after the campaign ends will not be counted.
Criteria for a Successful Referral
A referral counts as successful only when all of the following conditions are met:
- Your friend completes registration through your personal invitation link and is a first-time Qoder registrant;
- Within 14 days of registration and no later than September 3, 2026, 23:59 (UTC+8), your friend completes at least one conversation with at least 1 credit consumed on Qoder Desktop, the Qoder JetBrains plugin, Qoder CLI, or QoderWake;
- The friend has not already been claimed by another referrer. Each new user is attributed to one referrer only, determined by the invitation link actually used at registration.
Rewards
- Referrer: 400 credits for each successful referral, granted automatically once the criteria are met.
- Referred user: as a new registrant, eligible to claim 300 credits + 800 free Qwen3.8-Max calls.
- Reward cap: each referrer may receive rewards for up to 100 successful referrals, capped at 40,000 credits in total. Referrals beyond the cap earn no further rewards for the referrer, but this does not affect the referred user's own new-user rewards.
- Credit usage and validity: general credits can be used to call models including Qwen3.8-Max. Specific usage rules and validity are subject to the "Credits" page.
Referrals That Do Not Qualify
The following do not count as successful referrals. The corresponding rewards will not be granted, and any rewards already granted will be revoked:
- The referred user is not a first-time Qoder registrant, i.e. their phone number, email address, Alibaba Cloud account, or verified identity has previously been registered with Qoder;
- Inviting other accounts held by yourself, or mutual referrals between accounts under the same verified identity or the same device;
- Registrations completed through bulk registration, automated scripts, SMS verification-code platforms, emulators, fake accounts, or any other irregular means;
- The referred user's account is deactivated after the reward is granted, or is found to be in violation of the terms.
Review and Appeals
We monitor and review referral data throughout the entire campaign period. Where participation is found to involve irregular means, we reserve the right to disqualify the referrals concerned, revoke the rewards (including those already granted), and impose restrictions on the accounts involved. If you believe a decision has been made in error, you may submit an appeal within 7 days of receiving the notice via Submit a ticket, and we will respond after review.
The specific invitation rules, crediting conditions, and credit validity period are subject to what is shown on the in-app event page.
Other Terms
- Personal plan only: Invitation rewards are only for personal-plan users.
- Non-transferable: Credits are non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash.
- Anti-fraud: For accounts involved in fake registration, bulk registration, abnormal invitations, or similar behavior, Qoder reserves the right to revoke invitation eligibility and recover granted credits.
- Event changes: Qoder reserves the right to terminate or modify this invitation event and its terms at any time; changes will be communicated by updating this document or through other means.
FAQ
- Q: What counts as a "successful invitation"? An invited new friend completes registration and login via your exclusive link and finishes their first conversation within 14 days of registering (i.e., consumes at least 1 credit) — only then does it count as a successful invitation, and the credits are credited afterward.
- Q: Is there a limit on invitations? Each inviter can earn rewards for up to 100 successful invitations in total, capped at 40,000 credits; invitations beyond 100 will not be rewarded.
- Q: Can the credits earned from invitations be used to call Qwen3.8-Max? Yes. General credits apply to models including Qwen3.8-Max and can be used after the event's free calls run out.
- Q: Can international-site users participate in invitations? The invite-friends event is only for China-site users.
