Qwen 3 Max
Strong value for high-volume usage.
Overview
Qwen 3 Max is Alibaba's open-source generalist model. Its Apache 2 license makes it fully commercially usable and self-hostable. Very strong on Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese). Good on coding, decent reasoning. Preferred for multilingual apps or sovereign deployments outside the US.
Skill profile
Three independent measures
What people prefer, what the model can do, what the market uses. Each source has its biases and none is enough on its own: we show them side by side, never blended.
What do these scores mean?
PhD-level science questions (physics, chemistry, biology), with no tool access.
