Qwen3.8 Preview Now Available

This reply cites Qwen's announcement, with two key points:
- Qwen3.8 will be released soon as open-weight with 2.4T parameters.
- Before the official release, Qwen3.8-Max-Preview has already launched on Alibaba's Token Plan, Qoder, and QoderWork.
The retweeter's take: the outside world is starting to treat 'just shy of Fable' as the new baseline; he sees this as a plus for Anthropic, but for OpenAI, it means 'it's been over 6 months since they were the only one to chase.'
