Qwen 3.8 Max Prime and Ember 1 now available on MiniRouter

Alibaba’s Qwen 3.8 Max Prime is now on MiniRouter. It serves the Qwen 3.8 Max model with 1.5 to 2x the output speed, at twice the token price.

Fireworks’ Ember 1 joins it. Built on Kimi K3 and trained to skip reasoning that does not change the answer, it reports Kimi K3’s quality with 40% fewer tokens and 82.0% on Terminal Bench 2.1. MiniRouter did not run these evals.
