Doubao Seed 2.0 Code Preview
Qwen3.8 MaxThe Doubao 2.0 series is a coding model optimized for real programming environments, capable of reliably invoking tools in common IDEs such as Claude Code. The model is specially optimized for frontend capabilities and performs well with common frontend frameworks. The model supports using Skills and can work with various custom skills.
Qwen3.8-Max is Alibaba Cloud Tongyi Qianwen's next-generation flagship large language model, featuring a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture with 2.4 trillion parameters. It achieves another breakthrough in encoding depth, enabling it to handle more complex engineering-grade projects and long-term autonomous development; collaborative agent capabilities are significantly enhanced, performing more confidently in multi-tool orchestration and end-to-end delivery; visual understanding is comprehensively improved, with more sensitive and accurate chart reasoning, document parsing, and multimodal perception. Continuing the 1-million-context window, reasoning modes, and a complete tool ecosystem, it continues to evolve at a higher level of intelligence.
