Qwen 3.8 Max: 2.4T-parameter multimodal model, open-weight expected
Prompt Engineering · youtube · 2026-08-03
Qwen 3.8 Max has been released, a multimodal model with 2.4T total parameters and 95B active, expected to go open-weight soon. It ranks top-five on Arena and shows strong coding and agentic performance. The model demonstrates long-horizon agentic capabilities, including autonomously creating and evolving its own harness ("Oh My CLI") and autonomous chip design. The author ran hands-on tests: ISS tracker, Pokémon encyclopedia, crowd animation (where it "cheats" by overlaying text), and a 3D map of LA. API pricing is compared with Kimi K3, and open-weight licensing uncertainty and enterprise vs. general-public tradeoffs are discussed.
