Qwen3.8-Max is a 2.4T parameter model (95B active) that sets new benchmarks in autonomous coding, professional work tasks, and long-horizon planning, marking the first open-weight release at Max scale with weights coming next week. The model demonstrates frontier capabilities in self-evolving code generation, multi-day autonomous projects, and multimodal agent tasks across hundreds of professional domains.

OpenAI slashes GPT-5.6 pricing by up to 80% and details its strategy of creating 'abundant intelligence' through a feedback loop connecting 1B+ users, efficiency gains, and infrastructure investment. The company emphasizes that value comes from useful outcomes at lower cost rather than raw computational scale.
