A developer who dropped paid subscriptions after Qwen 3.8 shares an interview test: he prepped OpenRouter as backup, tried the latest GLM Flash for speed but had to keep steering it, then ran Qwen in parallel — which finished first and nailed the solution. He wrote some tests manually and had Qwen add the rest, passing the interview. Verdict: Qwen is king.
