Do not add a second catalog page for 0902
It is the current snapshot behind qwen3.8-max, not a new generation.
QwenCloud says billing items and pricing stay unchanged through the September 5 cutover.
The hosted Max service still differs from the downloadable 2.4T-A95B checkpoint in tools
thinking control, and context defaults.
Tradeoffs to know
- 0902 is a snapshot of Qwen3.8-Max, not a separately trained flagship.
- A 1M context and large reasoning budget can create substantial latency and cost.
- Pricing, quotas, regional endpoints, and data handling depend on the selected QwenCloud or DashScope service.
