Hey! George from the Artificial Analysis team here. We published an update today that does result in a change of the order, Qwen3.8 Max to second rather than first. The methodology change was an already planned upgrade to our equality checking/grader models, and brings the latest ³-Banking version to Artificial Analysis. Regular updates are normal for us to keep our benchmarks up to date.

The order changes but I think the story discussed in this thread holds - this is a very impressive release and Qwen3.8 Max is a huge step up in agentic capabilities.
