Iβve noticed more price drops in my area lately. Feels like buyers are starting to have the upper hand! Whatβs everyone else experiencing? Is the tide turning?
Alibaba just previewed Qwen3.8-Max, a 2.4 trillion-parameter model that the company claims is second only to Claude Fable 5 on benchmarks. It is set to go open-weight soon, following Alibaba's familiar pattern of a proprietary preview before public release. Alibaba ADRs jumped nearly 5% on the announcement. Could this become the open-weight model that finally challenges frontier closed models head-on?
Had an okay time β friendly folks, food was alright!
