🏆 #1# on CodeArena: WebDev leaderboard. Qwen3.8-Max-0902 jumps from 1669 to 1691, setting a new record for agentic coding (WebDev) workflows, with standout strength in multistep reasoning, tool use, and full app generation. Its strength carries across every Code Arena WebDev category: - #1# in Data & Analytics and Consumer Product - #2# in Brand & Marketing, Gaming, and Simulations - #3# in Content Creation Tools and Reference-Based Design More API access： • Model Studio: • Qwen Cloud:

it's funny how i've been yapping that we need a dedicated app for webdev instead of coping with google chrome and @sizzyapp had almost no competition for years, and now everyone is technically a competitor lol

Finally, a good paper testing whether Agent Skills actually help. Worth reading if you are maintaining a skill library in a team. WebDev-Skills-Bench runs 31 public WebDev Skills over 50 Web-Bench projects and 1,000 ordered tasks, with a length-matched irrelevant control so prompt-length effects can be separated from Skill content. Injecting the target Skill reduces mean Pass@2 by 1.3% to 4.2%, lowers task completion depth, and raises token cost by 72% to 394%. Gains show up in 17% to 36% of Skill-project pairs. The controls split the damage into two failure modes. Some models are length-distracted, where an equally long irrelevant Skill reproduces most of the loss. Others are content-misled, where prompt length is neutral, and the Skill content still costs 1.1 to 1.4 points. Other findings: > Losses concentrate on easy early tasks > Skill rankings transfer weakly across models > Anti-pattern rules outperform example-heavy content inside the Skills that do help Paper: Track more trending AI papers in our academy:

Anthropic has no choice but to drop Sonnet 5.5 soon..... gemini 3.7 Flash is putting real pressure on them.. Google's new model is already matching or beating Claude Sonnet 5 on key coding benchmarks like Code Arena WebDev and FrontierCode while costing less than half the price Cognition (the team behind Devin) also confirmed Gemini 3.7 Flash reaches Sonnet 5 level performance on their real coding evals just much cheaper for high volume coding and agent work the price to performance gap is becoming hard to ignore... tho sonnet 5 is still solid in some areas but Anthropic can’t sit on this for long.... Sonnet 5.5 feels inevitable at this point
