I actually favor Qwen3.8 and run it locally + use the Token-Plan on AlibabaCloud, when I need faster results. Kind of favor it over GPT5.6 Sol.

Also it seems to be more capable, need to test more, but I think it's at least getting on par and it's fully open-source and open-weights.

Here's some benchmarks:

EDIT: Am I early to the discussion, or is none else using Qwen3.8-max?

huh, why am I being shadow banned?

Does YC have similar problems like those at wikipedia/reddit? (wikipedia-editor-wars, or reddit-mod-wars)

    You aren't being "shadow banned".

    I concur with your conclusion, Qwen 3.8 has exceptional Vision Capabilities. The other commenter mentioned "I thought Qwen 3.8 didn't have Vision", it does, just not on the open weights version, only via official API.
