Can an M5 Max Code Locally? Qwen3.8 Flash Next Tested
I left Qwen3.8-Flash-Next running on my M5 Max MacBook Pro for nine hours and fourteen minutes. In this video, I open the games, interactive apps and bug-fixing results it produced, including the original flight game that failed.
The results
The same scores as the leaderboard: a test that failed is left out of its run's score, not counted as zero. Time, tokens and cost cover each whole run, wildcards included.
Ranking
Quality v1 over measured non-wildcard pages. Different workloads: browse the outputs and coverage before comparing models.
Score against output tokens
Quality v1 against full-run tokens. Different workloads and hardware affect this comparison.
Output tokens include the model's thinking. Like the time, tokens and cost table, it counts every test the model took, wildcards included. A hollow dot is not an exact count: some tests reported none, or the count was worked out from the length of the output. The score axis is zoomed to the data.
Score against time
Quality v1 against full-run time. Different workloads and hardware affect this comparison.
Time is how long the model took to answer, added up over its tests; judging is not counted. Like the time, tokens and cost table, it counts every test the model took, wildcards included. The score axis is zoomed to the data.
Where each model is strong and weak
One row per model, one column per test and per scoring criterion.

Read from the account's usage window in whole percentage points, so a short run can show 0 points. It counts everything the account did in that time, not only this run.
