> In particular, Qwen3.8-Max is the official version based on Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B with more features, such as vision input & non-thinking support, 1M context length by default, official built-in tools, etc.

That is unfortunate, that the open weight model doesn't have vision support or the 1M context length...

People have had surprising success adding vision to open-weight LLMs that ship without it, like DSV4 Flash [1] or GLM-5.2 [2]. Given this model is already vision-trained I expect that approach will work well here.

Qwen3.5 was awesome: fairly open and fully featured. 3.8 lacking vision, nerfing thinking modes, and low context length feels pointless.
