It'll be interesting to see how Qwen 3.8 Max lands, as their previous large models didn't get a ton of adoption in the API, more people will likely look now (pending license). This could be the feedback loop the Qwen team needed to catch up on the biggest models.
Pricing, license, consistent releases, patching feedback, etc about to be the boundary between Kimi, GLM, Qwen, DeepSeek, etc. they're all capable of landing the leading model and all have been winning different pieces of the market.
