💬 Following up on the [story about the release of Qwen3.8-Max](https://t.me/vic_makes_ai/1082), I finally tried it on real-world tasks.

Specifically, for building **AI consultants for text channels** (messengers) in my favorite programming language — **Go**.

Spoiler: **it’s really good, especially for such a low price per 1M tokens**! 😍

As a result, I built 2 demo Telegram bots, where **GPT-4.1-mini** acts as the brains 👇

1️⃣ [A bot for qualifying a customer and booking a car repair appointment](https://t.me/shostak_dev_demo_autoservice_bot), which asks for details about the vehicle and the issue, answers questions about service pricing, and schedules a convenient visit time.

2️⃣ [A bot for calculating kitchen pricing for furniture companies](https://t.me/shostak_dev_demo_kitchen_bot), which уточняет kitchen parameters through guiding questions, calculates the cost, sends the final estimate, and books the client at the company office for a detailed design session.

Before implementation, of course, I wrote a detailed spec for each of these bots and connected MCP Context7.

I also had to make 1–2 corrective prompts for code style and some business-logic details... but otherwise, Qwen3.8-Max worked fully autonomously in the engineering loop (questioning itself at every stage and adjusting its own reasoning and code).

Token usage (input + output) totaled

~12.8 million, across about 400 API requests to the Chinese model. That’s seriously impressive! For comparison, I ran the same task through DeepSeek V4 Flash Latest: with similar output results, it used over15 milliontokens.

By the way, the whole development process was done in the next-gen [AI IDE Kodik](https://kodik.ru/signup?ref=TVAF2JRH), by our local guys — **ArchiTech AI**.

Highly recommend downloading and trying it. Not an Ad! I’ve been using it for over a month now, and it’s truly a very high-quality product, especially in the era of account bans from Anthropic and OpenAI 😏

...and soon, a local model called **Qwen3.8-27b** is also expected to drop, which Alibaba has promised to release any day now... that’s definitely something that can make the big AI model vendors nervous!
