Hands-On with Qwen3.8 Preview
葬AI · wechat · 2026-07-19
Based on the ZangAI benchmark, this quick review compares several models: Fable5 leads the pack, while qwen3.8-max-preview and KimiK3 are roughly in the same tier. However, KimiK3 shows more volatility with more low-score rounds, which the author speculates might be due to insufficient inference resources.
The author also points out that while qwen3.8-max-preview's coding capabilities are on par with KimiK3, its non-coding abilities are noticeably weaker. In tasks like image/3D generation, it falls behind GPT-5.6-Sol, KimiK3, and Fable-5. As this is just a preview version, the author expects further updates and tweaks before the official release.
