qwen3.8-max-previewClaude Opus 4.6 is Anthropic’s latest state-of-the-art reasoning model. It features an adaptive “thinking” mode that dynamically decides when to think and how much to think. At the default effort level (high), Claude will almost always engage in thinking. At lower effort levels, it may skip thinking for simple problems. ⚠️ The minimum cache token for claude-opus-4-6 has been increased from 1,024 to 4,096 tokens.
Qwen 3.8 Max Preview(Qwen3.8-Max-Preview) is the latest-generation foundation model in the Qwen family, packing 2.4T parameters and still evolving. Compared with the previous flagship Qwen 3.7 Max, it delivers major gains in core capabilities like Coding and Cowork (professional productivity), with world-leading performance on complex, long-horizon tasks such as full-stack development, data analysis, and Office workflows. Launch offer: Credits are consumed at just 20% of the standard rate, effectively 5× your usage. Limited time only.
