Qwen 3.7 previews hit LMSYS with locked reasoning mode

Alibaba quietly released preview versions of Qwen 3.7 Max and Plus on the LMSYS Chatbot Arena. Currently locked in a dedicated thinking mode, the new models are explicitly optimized for complex mathematics, self-healing code, and agentic workflows.

// ANALYSIS

Alibaba continues to prove it is the only non-US player consistently shipping frontier-level foundation models capable of rivaling OpenAI and Anthropic.

–Qwen 3.7 Max immediately debuted at #13 on the overall Text Arena, outperforming GPT 5.2 Chat and Grok 4.2.
–The preview models are currently proprietary and cloud-only, leaving developers waiting to see if Alibaba will maintain its aggressive open-weights strategy for the 3.7 generation.
–Forcing the public preview into a reasoning-only state signals a direct challenge to OpenAI's o-series models for complex, multi-step agentic tasks.
