I Tested Qwen 3.8 So You Don't Have To…

So there was a bold statement from Qwen 3.8 from Alibaba yesterday that it's launching and going open way soon, which is pretty exciting stuff. Massive 2.4 trillion parameters, and I've tested it across loads of different builds. I'm going to show you how it compares to Fable 5 side by side, and also GPT 5.6 side by side. Now you can see here that they said, we believe it's one of those powerful models available today, compatible to leading frontier AI models, second only to Fable 5 And I've already tested it via Qoda or Coda, however you want to pronounce it.
We've built a ton of stuff of it, as you can see. So let's just get straight into the tests over here. So what we have is a game for racing. This is the Fable 5 output on the right hand side, and this is the output from Qwen 3.8. And you can see here that this version is clearly nicer. It's more fun to play. I really like realistic 3D style game. Looks super nice. The graphics are awesome. If we have a look at Fable 5s, it's just not even in the same category. Now, does this mean that Fable 5 is worse than Qwen 3.8? Absolutely not. We're going to be doing loads more tests side by side, and you can see what you think. If you want to indicate how does it compare versus GPT 5.6. So we actually did this little fireworks test, and we've tested loads of different stuff, which we'll walk you through today. But you can see here side by side that this is Qwen 3.8, GPT 5.6. So I do think that the output from GPT 5.6 sole here is much nicer in terms of the UI and the front ends, and that's actually a trend I've seen over all of the tests that I've done. By the way, quick one, if you want to learn more about AI automation, how to scale your business with AI automation, save time and get access to all of my best trainings in the amazing community, you can get that inside the AI ProfitBorn, link in the comments description or go to the aiprofitborn.com. Let's get back into it. So if we have a look, this is an Aurora test, and if you look at them side by side, I would still say that there's something more classy and elegant about the designs from Fable 5 They look very similar. I don't think that's a great way to test them side by side. Here's a black hole simulation. You see, Fable 5 is kind of weird and off, like it just went into the bottom left, whereas this one looks cleaner, nicer, nice animations, neatly organized, etc. So we'll look at some of this stuff I'm not too fast about. I mean, these are pretty similar side by side. You can zoom in and zoom out.
But again, I would just say there's something about Fable 5's design that looks nicer, looks cleaner, feels more elegant.
Having said that, they've both done a good job on that.
Now this is a neon blaster test that we did. And the one from Qwen 3.8 is looking way nicer.
It's more fun to use, better gameplay, it's in 3D. Fable 5 doesn't really compare. But I think if we gave Fable 5 another shot and gave it an example, it would do better. When it comes to the cloth simulation, you can see that actually the style on Fable 5 is much nicer, like it's much cleaner to move around. This one doesn't seem to be so easy to navigate. And you can't move the cloth around, whereas with this one you actually can.
And the graphics and the physics are much nicer from Fable 5 But it is, you can see it's kind of in the same category. It's just not as good as Fable 5, I would say.
This one looks super nice from Qwen 3.8. And this is a Neon Racer game. Again, like, I mean, this one is pretty cool. Like 3D games, it seems to do really well with Qwen 3.8.
The gameplay is fun, the graphics are nice. The design is super nice. Fable 5's is a little bit more retro in the style. Also, you might be wondering, OK, how does this compare to something like GPT 5.6?
So I'd still say Qwen 3.8 held its own in comparison. It feels really nice to use. It's a lot of fun to play. Yeah, I like the colors and everything like that. Look really, really good. Now we've got a flight simulator. So this is GPT 5.6 versus Qwen 3.8. And it seems to be going backwards, which is weird. Let's just reset. We just can't change the camera angle. I think that's what the problem is here. Whereas if we have a look at GPT 5.6, it doesn't look amazing. Like the detail is not absolutely amazing, but it actually works and you can take off and everything else. So I would say GPT 5.6 won on this one. This is an interesting one. So this is a video side by side using re-motion. And look at like the font and the style of design. This one feels very much like AI. It's got those sort of typical blue neon types. It's got the icon, the logo from GPT 5.6, which just feels very AI. Whereas if you look at this side by side, it feels a bit different. It's not using the generic sort of AI slop style. Let's have a look at the promo versus Fable 5 But I do, yeah, for sure. You can see that Fable 5 has absolutely crushed that test. Like it just looks nicer, it feels smoother. The timing is better. You can flick between the different timings here. And it looks a lot more elegant in the style. But this one did okay. So I can see what they're saying in terms of like, Fable 5 is still better than Qwen 3.8. Now we've got a Dragon Realm game. So this is like an open world RPG.
