Users are reporting that Qwen3.8 Max Preview can think for an unusually long time before answering — in one case nearly 10 minutes for a single prompt, and another reportedly 30 minutes.
The model also tends to produce very long outputs, making it feel powerful but hard to use unless you are patient.
