Qwen 3.8 Next Flash appreciation post

I don't want to talk about the performance and technical things, but about how I work with my hobby projects has changed thanks to this model.

My machine has generated around 25M tokens since the model came out, and I've done a mental retro on it.

I've found it to have incredible prompt adherence. I can leave to run it by itself and get back to it, and find that it did exactly what I've asked it to. I've only ever seen it go astray once, where I've asked something that is too high level and filled out the context window (It is shitty at context compacting, maybe that is the Q4 at play).
It can solve medium complexity tasks by itself, if you prompt it in a way to use subagents, do some research, planning, review and testing it does really well.

It has absolutely raised the floor for me on what I expect a model to be capable of. And that is a huge thing. It won't discover then next scientific breakthrough or be as amazing as Astra at computer use, but it is very consistent in what it can do, and does not screw up trivial things.

I can give it conditions for actions and will orchestrate according to it.
It has raised the bar in my work as well, not just at home hobby projects. I'm absolutely amazed by it.

I absolutely want coding models to improve along this line. Raising the floor, and prompt adherence is a great value in coding.
