Qwen3 Release: Flagship 235B MoE and Full Model Family Announced
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen3, a new family of large language models including the flagship Qwen3-235B-A22B mixture-of-experts model. The flagship model claims competitive benchmark performance against DeepSeek-R1, OpenAI o1/o3-mini, Grok-3, and Gemini-2.5-Pro on coding, math, and general capabilities. A smaller MoE variant, Qwen3-30B-A3B, reportedly outperforms QwQ-32B despite using only one-tenth the activated parameters, and the 4B model is said to match Qwen2.5's larger models. Models are available across Hugging Face, ModelScope, and Kaggle.
Qwen3Guard: Real-time Safety Guardrail Model for Token Stream Classification
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen3Guard, the first dedicated safety guardrail model in the Qwen family, built on Qwen3 foundation models and fine-tuned for safety classification. The model performs real-time safety detection on both prompts and responses, providing risk levels and categorized classifications for content moderation. Qwen3Guard claims state-of-the-art performance on major safety benchmarks across English, Chinese, and multilingual settings.
Qwen-Image: 20B MMDiT Image Foundation Model with Native Text Rendering
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen-Image, a 20B parameter MMDiT (Multimodal Diffusion Transformer) image generation foundation model. The model claims significant advances in complex text rendering capabilities, including multi-line layouts, paragraph-level semantics, and fine-grained typographic details across alphabetic and other language scripts. It also features precise image editing capabilities and is accessible via Qwen Chat and open-weight repositories on HuggingFace and ModelScope.
Qwen VLo: Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation Model
Alibaba's Qwen team has announced Qwen VLo, a new model that unifies multimodal understanding and image generation in a single architecture. Building on the Qwen2.5 VL lineage, the model is positioned to both comprehend and generate high-quality visual content. This represents a step toward unified perception-and-creation models, a direction several frontier labs are pursuing simultaneously.
Qwen3 Embedding: State-of-the-Art Text Embedding and Reranking Models Released
Alibaba's Qwen team has released the Qwen3 Embedding series, a set of open-weights text embedding and reranking models built on the Qwen3 foundation model. The models are designed for retrieval and reranking tasks and claim state-of-the-art performance across multiple benchmarks. They are released under the Apache 2.0 license and are available on Hugging Face and ModelScope.
QVQ-Max: Alibaba Qwen Releases Visual Reasoning Model with Multimodal Chain-of-Thought
Alibaba's Qwen team has officially released QVQ-Max, a visual reasoning model succeeding the December 2024 QVQ-72B-Preview. The model is designed to analyze and reason over images and videos, covering domains including mathematics, programming, and creative tasks. It represents a step beyond the exploratory preview, positioning as a production-grade multimodal reasoning system.
Qwen-Max-0428: Alibaba's Largest Instruction-Tuned Model Released
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen-Max-0428, a new instruction-tuned model larger than the previously open-sourced Qwen1.5-110B-Chat. The model has entered Chatbot Arena and reached the top-10 on the leaderboard, while also outperforming Qwen1.5-110B-Chat on MT-Bench. The model is available via API, though it does not appear to be open-weights at this stage.
Qwen-TTS Updated with Chinese Dialect Support and Bilingual Voices
Alibaba's Qwen team has released an update to Qwen-TTS (qwen-tts-2025-05-22), a text-to-speech model trained on millions of hours of speech data. The model claims human-level naturalness and expressiveness, with automatic prosody and emotional inflection adjustment. A notable new capability is support for three Chinese dialects—Pekingese, Shanghainese, and Sichuanese—delivered through seven named Chinese-English bilingual voices accessible via the Qwen API.
