๐Ÿ’ฌ Following up on the story about the release of Qwen3.8-Max , I finally tried it on real-world tasks. Specifically, for building AI consultants for text channels (messengers) in my favorite programming language โ€” Go . Spoiler: itโ€™s really good, especially for such a low price per 1M tokens ! ๐Ÿ˜ As a result, I built 2 demo Telegram bots, where GPT-4.1-mini acts as the brains ๐Ÿ‘‡ 1๏ธโƒฃ A bot forโ€ฆ

The article discusses the author's experience using Qwen3.8-Max to build two AI-powered Telegram bots. The first bot is designed to assist customers in booking car repair appointments by gathering vehicle details, addressing issues, providing pricing information, and scheduling convenient visit times. The second bot caters to furniture companies by taking kitchen measurements, answering questions about customization options, calculating costs, delivering final estimates, and arranging a design session at the company office.

The author emphasizes the impressive performance of Qwen3.8-Max, noting that it completed the tasks autonomously, including questioning itself at each stage and adjusting its reasoning and code. The token usage for the bots was approximately 12.8 million, which is significantly lower than that of DeepSeek V4 Flash Latest, which consumed over 15 million tokens for similar output results.

The author also highlights the efficiency of the development process using Kodik, a next-generation AI IDE developed by ArchiTech AI, a local company. They recommend trying Kodik and praise its high-quality features amidst the ongoing account bans faced by Anthropic and OpenAI.

Additionally, the article hints at the upcoming release of Qwen3.8-27b, a local model anticipated to be released by Alibaba, which may pose a challenge to the dominance of big AI model vendors. The author invites readers to contact them via Telegram (t.me/koddr) for further discussions on designing, building, and launching AI solutions for various business needs.
