Sweet - now that the preview "max" model is avaliable, surely the 27B dense open-weights model will soon follow. I don't expect any of the Qwen4 models to have such a great leap in performance as the Qwen3.8 architecture did - there doesn't feel to be the same hype from the company - but we can still hope!

Tried it in Qwen Code; with xhigh thinking the speed is okay, feels slightly slower than Terra. By November 25th, Beijing time daytime (8am-22pm) -80%, and at night (Western daytime) even -92%! In practice, this discount among Chinese models (those usable for production) should currently be among the most durable tier (and it only has a monthly quota).

No benchmarks yet. The smaller Qwen models are extremely popular for people running things locally, yet I don't know absolutely anyone running Qwen Max.
