Alibaba’s Qwen-3.8-Max-0902 Reaches No. 1 in Code Arena WebDev

Alibaba has introduced Qwen-3.8-Max-0902, an artificial intelligence model that the supplied source says matches Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 in capabilities.

The model reportedly achieves this without moving to a new version number, roughly two months after Claude Fable 5 launched. It debuts at the No. 1 position in Code Arena WebDev.

Qwen-3.8-Max-0902 has 2.4 trillion parameters. Its listed price is $2 per 1 million input tokens and $6 per 1 million output tokens. The source also lists $0.17 per explicit cache hit and $0.25 for an unspecified associated item.

The development is presented as another sign that China’s AI labs are catching up with their US counterparts. The supplied source does not provide further details about the model’s release or the unspecified $0.25 item.
