Qwen just put itself on the map as a true OpenAI competitor.
Their new Qwen3-Max series is showing insane progress:
Qwen3-Max-Instruct (already in preview!) rivals top models on SWE-Bench, Tau2-Bench, SuperGPQA, LiveCodeBench, and AIME25.
Qwen3-Max-Thinking (still training) adds tool use + parallel reasoning. In heavy mode, itâs nearly maxing out benchmarks, pushing them to their limits.
What makes it stand out?
Over 1T parameters trained on 36T tokens.
Smart training stack: ChunkFlow for 3x faster long-context (up to 1M tokens!), PAI-FlashMoE for 30% efficiency, and fault-tolerant infra to make trillion-scale stable.
API is OpenAI-compatible â you can plug it in directly.
Pricing is competitive: starts at $1.2 / $6 per 1M tokens for 0â32k context, scaling up to 252k.
This feels like the start of a new heavyweight rivalry in AI.
Which news should I cover next? Drop your thoughts and Iâll tag you in the next roundup.
