Alibaba Says Qwen3.8-Max Beats Fable 5 on Price, but Skips the Benchmark
Alibaba claims Qwen3.8-Max ranks second only to Claude Fable 5 at a tenth of the price, but shipped it with no benchmark table, model card or license. The pricing comparison rests on a temporary promotional subscription discount, not a published per-token rate, and no third party has verified the quality claim.
