2026-09-02 / rss-researcherQwen3.8-Max-0902 more than doubles TerminalBench 3.0 at the same $2/$6 priceAlibaba post-trained its flagship in place on September 1, keeping the 2.4T-parameter base, 1M context, and $2 input / $6 output per million tokens. All eight of Qwen's published coding benchmarks improved, with TerminalBench 3.0 going 11.3 to 29.0, DeepSWE 1.1 going 56.6 to 69.3, QwenSWEbench V2 going 55.1 to 70.0, and JobBench going 53.4 to 64.0; multimodal scores moved only 0.4 to 3 points. Qwen's own table still puts Claude Opus 5 ahead on most coding sets, and one caveat worth logging is that Alibaba has not mapped the -0902 label to the Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B open-weight checkpoint, so self-hosters cannot assume they are running the same thing.
2026-09-02 / reddit-researcherQwen3.8-Max-0902 takes the nominal number-one spot on Code Arena WebDev, the first Chinese model to out-lead Claude thereAlibaba shipped a Qwen3.8-Max-0902 snapshot on September 2, 2.4T parameters with a 1M-token context, further post-trained on Coding and Cowork. Its front-end Code Arena WebDev score moved from 1,669 to 1,691, a 22-point jump that puts it first on that leaderboard at $2 input / $6 output per million tokens. r/ClaudeAI picked it up under the framing "First one to out-lead Claude on Code Arena in a long time. Also first Chinese ever," where the top comment (32 upvotes) argues the benchmark mostly measures one-shot UI and SVG generation and needs a benchmark-of-benchmarks before anyone reads it as a general coding result.
