Summary: Qwen3.8-Max in 30 Seconds Qwen3.8-Max is Alibaba’s new flagship model, made generally available on August 2, 2026. 2.4 trillion parameters, 95 billion active (MoE architecture). It reads text, images and video, and returns text. Context window is in the 1 million token class. On one task it ran 125 hours (about 5 days) with no human input, rebuilding an experiment from a machine learning paper from scratch, confirming its six findings, then inventing a method that beats the paper. It beats Claude Opus 4.8 on most coding and agent tests, trades blows with Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, and falls behind on some. API pricing is $2 input / $6 output per million tokens. Repeated input costs $0.25. This is the first time Alibaba will open-weight a Max-class model. “Next week” is the word, but there is no date, license or model card yet. Ask an AI to “rebuild the experiment in this paper, then improve on it” and it normally stalls after a few turns, waiting for you to step in and steer. ...

OpenAI has announced the GPT-5.6 series, reshaping the landscape of artificial intelligence! We are looking at a completely new approach to reasoning and problem-solving, not just a model update. This next generation comes in three distinct options: Sol, Terra, and Luna. What will these new models change in our lives? How are they making leaps in coding, biology, and cybersecurity? Let’s dive into the details! The GPT-5.6 Series: Sol, Terra, and Luna OpenAI introduced three models tailored to different needs: ...
