Key Insights

Advantages of Qwen 3 Max Deep Research

The Thinking mode in Qwen 3 Max is highly effective for technical reports because it includes clickable 'citations' for every fact, along with neatly organized information in table formats.

UI/Coding Generation Limitations

While excellent for logic, the visual quality of UI elements (such as icons or mobile-responsive layouts) may not match some competing models and might require additional prompting for refinement.

Test Time Scaling

Qwen 3 Max utilizes 'test time scaling,' which allows the model to 'think' longer to solve significantly more difficult tasks compared to other standard models.
Prompts

Deep Research Prompt (Medical Research Example)

Target: Qwen 3 Max
Metachromatic leukodystrophy. Differences between late infantile and juvenile onset. Focus on enzymatic deficiency mechanism. Create a comparative report on current clinical trials versus palliative standard of care.

Complex Coding Prompt (Android UI Example)

Target: Qwen 3 Max
Create an Android OS lock screen UI. It should include a swipe up to unlock feature. Provide 8 app icons including Chrome and Play Store. The bottom should include a navigation bar with classic back, home, and recent buttons.
