“self-evolves through feedback loops”
Does this mean they distilled Claude? Sounds like what Claude Code will often do.

#12> Today, we are officially releasing Qwen 3.8-Max, the most capable model in the Qwen family to date. This also marks the first time we will open-source the weights of a Qwen-Max-class model — the open weights will be released next week. I don't understand. That's dated today, but: https://twitter.com/alibaba_qwen/status/2078759124914098291 > Qwen3.8 is launching and going open-weight soon! [...] You don't have to wa…
they releasing Max.

The linked qwencloud page has pricing; it's $2/6.

They mention it explicitly in the Twitter post [0].

#15We will eventually need a self evolution benchmark to see where these large models can create recursive solutions that improve

July 19th post mentions “Max-Preview” vs. today’s post dropping the “Preview”. Unclear what changed if anything though.. Maybe broader availability or it’s a slightly improved checkpoint

My understanding is that these "preview" models are usually earlier RL checkpoints, and that "official release" happens when they're happy with the training run?
I believe they mentioned around the preview announcement that they'd be releasing improvements to capability, which I assume means continued training.

Of course they did.

#20Once OpenAI and Anthropic are public, every such announcement will become a reliable sell signal
