🤖 I Built 2 Telegram Bots with Qwen3.8-Max — and the Results Were Seriously Impressive

💬 Following up on the story about the release of Qwen3.8-Max , 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 , 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 , 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 over 15 million tokens. By the way, the whole development process was done in the next-gen AI IDE Kodik , 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! 😉 And if you ne
