qwen3.8-max-0902 real-task evaluations

Every report keeps its original task, method, finding, limitation, evaluator identity and verification date. A community report is evidence about that run, not a universal score.

  • AI Coding Daily LLM Coding Leaderboard

    By AI Coding Daily (@AICodingDaily). Coding-model testing channel and website that runs its own leaderboard and sells premium tutorials and channel advertising Published 2026-09-24; retrieved 2026-09-24; verified 2026-09-24.

    Task
    Implement and harden production-shaped projects in several stacks, including a Laravel app, a Go service and a React/TypeScript app, from the same prompts
    Method
    Each model and reasoning setting is a separate row run in a coding harness, with the average cost and time per run. Code quality is graded by a judge model against a published 100-point rubric and scaled to 20 points per project; behavioural reliability runs each of four projects five times and scores the checks every attempt fails.
    Finding
    Qwen 3.8 Max (0902) at high reasoning scored 48.70 ($0.40 and 11 min 49 s per run in OpenCode), 22nd of 47 rows and above the original qwen3.8-max (47.08).
    Limitation
    One author's benchmark whose code-quality half is graded by a judge model; rows run in different harnesses, the page is updated as models are added (read on 2026-09-24, 47 rows), and the author sells premium tutorials and advertising.

  • kzhu's six-question LLM test leaderboard

    By AI产品狙击手 kzhu (@kevinzhu9305). Chinese YouTube reviewer who scores models on a six-question test and publishes every score with per-question notes Published 2026-09-24; retrieved 2026-09-24; verified 2026-09-24.

    Task
    Six questions scored out of 10: constrained sentence writing, two reasoning puzzles (replaced by pelican and compound-bow SVG animations in version 2.2), a browser OS with a space shooter, a 3D racing game and a Trello-style board
    Method
    Each row names the harness the model ran in (Pi, Claude Code, WorkBuddy and others) and the date; the author scores every question with a note, and warns that totals are only comparable within one test version.
    Finding
    Qwen3.8 Max 0902 scored 47/60 on version 2.1 in the DeepSeek harness and 46 in Pi after re-running only the two new version-2.2 SVG questions, where the pelican flipped upside down and the bow pointed the wrong way (6 and 5).
    Limitation
    One author's scores on six questions; rows use different harnesses and test versions (2.1 or 2.2), and a few rows' table total differs by one point from the author's note.
