Qwen 3.8 Max
What's happening
Qwen 3.8 is rolling out in public previews, with a Max variant and daily checkpoint releases. The previewed Qwen 3.8 Next/Max model is reported at 2.4T parameters by a tester, and users on Reddit and Hacker News are discussing performance, UI, and availability. Community feedback ranges from praise for rapid daily improvements and a strong response to the Qwen3.8-Max-Preview, to reports of the Next build getting stuck in thinking loops and weaker frontend/design than advertised.
Why it's trending

Everyone loves 'more parameters' until the model gets stuck in loops, why Qwen 3.8 Max's 2.4T parameter count isn't the whole story.

- I like how qwen is releasing daily checkpoints of qwen 3.8
During Preview, Qwen3.8 is getting better by the day. Latest version is live now, with broad gains and a big step up on web frontend. Thank you all — the response to Qwen3.8-Max-Preview blew us away. Qwen3.8 is still evolving daily. Come test it, and tell us what breaks. We're looking forward to a more capable, official version — and to open-weight it for everyone. Source:

I've tested the new Qwen3.8 Next model (via their web app) and found that it is often getting stuck in thinking loops and the fronend/design capabilities are not as good as advertised. Hope things are going to improve for the final release. Examples here:
