Qwen3.8 Max

Quick answer: Qwen3.8 Max is a text tier at 133% of the base text rate. It is a choice for Chinese-language scripts and storyboards with many characters, and it reads long instructions carefully. Very long scripts are read in two passes on this tier as on every text tier — the site does that for you. Pick it for a hard Chinese script when the base-rate tiers have failed twice; its cheaper sibling, Qwen3.8 Flash, is for speed.

Qwen3.8 Flash is the fast, cheap sibling; this page is the full-size tier.

Where you pick it

Settings → Model Preferences → Text Model. The choice applies to the three text jobs that cost credits — reading a script, writing a script with AI, and generating an episode’s storyboard — from the next task on. Translations of what you see on screen and the small helper calls do not follow it. Nothing already generated is redone by switching.

What it is good at

Chinese scripts with period vocabulary, large casts and interlocking scenes; storyboards where every shot must name who is in frame and what they hold; instructions that run long.

Long scripts

Each reply has a ceiling, on this tier as on the others. A long script is read in two passes: the cast and world first, then the episode outlines. You see one read; the split is automatic. A storyboard for a single episode fits comfortably.

What it costs

On this tier, reading a script costs 6 credits per thousand characters (a thousand equivalent characters for alphabet-based scripts, see the pricing page), a storyboard costs 2 credits per hundred characters of the episode’s share of the script, and AI writing costs 6 credits per thousand characters written. That is 133% of the base rate. Most failed tasks are refunded automatically; a few kinds of failure hold the credits until support checks the task.

Qwen3.8 Flash is at 10%; the default and Pro tiers sit between the two.

Common errors

What you may meet on this tier:

What you seeUsual causeWhat to do
A long script or a dense episode failsThe reply ran past what one call can return; the site already ran it once moreThe credits stay held until support checks the task. Trim the script or split it before running again
Storyboard generation failedNeither of two drafts came back as a usable storyboardNothing was saved or charged; the credits stay held until support returns them. Regenerate, or switch tier
“The generation service hit a temporary problem. You weren’t charged — feel free to try again.”The service was saturated; the site already tried again onceTry again in a few minutes
The storyboard came back in the wrong languageThe tier ignored the language settingThe site redoes it once automatically; if it still arrives wrong, regenerate or switch tier

When to switch tier

Down to the default for routine episodes. To Evolving or Pro for a hard English script at the base rate. To Flash when you want a quick, cheap draft of a storyboard to see the shape of an episode.

FAQ

Is it better than Pro for Chinese scripts?

It is a strong choice for dense Chinese scripts; for ordinary ones Pro and the default are cheaper and comparable.

Why two passes on long scripts?

Every text tier has a length ceiling per reply; the site splits the read so nothing is cut off.

Is it good for English scripts?

Yes. For English scripts the base-rate tiers, Evolving and Pro, are the usual step up from the default.

Can I use it for one episode only?

Yes. The preference applies per task.
