eyishazyer · x · 2026-08-06
A user on X revealed that Alibaba seems to have just released a new model with a massive 2.4 trillion parameters.
According to the user's test, this model (referred to as Qwen3.8-Max) autonomously built a real command-line tool over 16 days without any human intervention, demonstrating massive potential for long-horizon, autonomous coding tasks.
