Alibaba's Qwen team has unveiled Qwen3.8-Max, a new flagship 2.4-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) multimodal large language model (LLM) that targets autonomous software engineering and long-horizon enterprise work. According to the company's published benchmarks, Qwen3.8-Max outperforms GPT-5.6 Sol Max (83.2) and Fable 5 (85.0) on the OSWorld-Verified benchmark, while also leading in PaperBench and remaining competitive across various software engineering, research reproduction, multimodal reasoning, and visual web development benchmarks.
