Alibaba claims Qwen3.8-Max beats Fable 5 on price, but avoids benchmark
Alibaba has launched Qwen3.8-Max and claims the model is cheaper than Fable 5, but has not released official benchmark results that confirm the claim. The comparison is made on the basis of price, not demonstrated performance.
WHY IT MATTERS
Many are waiting for independent benchmark tests to verify Alibaba's claims about the model's capabilities relative to competitors. The lack of transparent results makes it difficult to assess whether the model is truly competitive.
