Qwen 3.8 Flash Next vs Qwen 3.8 Max

Both are SOTA right now. Each row below is one board’s call on the two, and the marked figure is the one that board places higher. No row is added to another, so there is no overall winner: the boards measure different things, and where they split, that is the finding.
