Qwen3.8-Max Built a CLI Tool Autonomously for 16 Days Straight

The author tested Alibaba's newly released Qwen3.8-Max, noting it proved its capabilities not through standard benchmarks, but via a real-world project. Without any human intervention, the model spent 16 days planning, writing, testing, and debugging to build a command-line tool named oh-my-cli.
In the thread's context, the author highlights a common pain point in AI coding: most agents start sharp but lose the thread after about three hours, quietly shipping the wrong code. He believes Qwen3.8-Max specifically addresses this exact phase where other models typically give up.
