PoetryQwen: LoRA-fine-tuned Qwen2.5-14B for classical Chinese poetry understanding with new 49K dataset
Researchers introduce CCPoetry-49K, a 49,404-pair instruction dataset for classical Chinese poetry appreciation, decomposed into term interpretation, semantic interpretation, and emotional inference subtasks. They fine-tune Qwen2.5-14B using LoRA to produce PoetryQwen, achieving a 9.7% improvement over the baseline on the CCL25-Eval Task 5 benchmark (0.757 vs 0.690). The work addresses a gap in domain-specific LLM adaptation for classical Chinese literary tasks.

Qwen2.5-LLM: Alibaba releases open-weight language models from 0.5B to 72B
Alibaba's Qwen team releases the Qwen2.5 series of decoder-only dense language models, open-sourcing seven variants spanning 0.5B to 72B parameters. The release targets production use cases in the 10-30B range and mobile deployments at 3B scale. This represents a significant expansion of the open-weights frontier from a Tier 1 Chinese AI lab.
Qwen2.5-VL-32B: Reinforcement-Learning-Optimized Vision-Language Model Released
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruct, a 32-billion-parameter vision-language model built on the Qwen2.5-VL series and further optimized with reinforcement learning. The model is open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license and available on Hugging Face and ModelScope. It follows the January 2025 launch of the broader Qwen2.5-VL series, positioning the 32B scale as a balance between capability and deployment practicality.
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.
Qwen2 Model Family Released: Five Sizes, 128K Context, Multilingual
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen2, an evolution from Qwen1.5, comprising five pretrained and instruction-tuned models ranging from 0.5B to 72B parameters, including a 57B mixture-of-experts variant (57B-A14B). The release highlights training on 27 additional languages beyond English and Chinese, significantly improved coding and mathematics performance, and extended context support up to 128K tokens for the 7B and 72B instruct variants. Benchmark results are claimed to be state-of-the-art across a large number of evaluations.
Qwen2.5-Math: Open-Source Mathematical LLM Series Released
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen2.5-Math, an upgraded series of open-source mathematical LLMs including base and instruction-tuned models at 1.5B, 7B, and 72B parameter scales, plus a mathematical reward model. The models support Chain-of-Thought (CoT) and Tool-Integrated Reasoning (TIR) for English and Chinese math problem solving. This follows the Qwen2-Math release approximately one month prior and is claimed to be the leading open-source mathematical LLM series.
Introducing the Qwen Series: Overview of Alibaba's Open-Source LLM Journey
Alibaba's Qwen team published a retrospective introduction to the Qwen series of large language models, four months after the initial Qwen-7B open-source release. The post consolidates links to their paper, GitHub, Hugging Face, and ModelScope repositories, and outlines the team's objectives for the open-source LLM program. It serves as a canonical reference point for the Qwen model family's public positioning.
Qwen releases Qwen-Image-Bench, a multimodal judge/evaluation model
Qwen has released Qwen-Image-Bench on Hugging Face, an image-text-to-text model tagged as a judge-model for evaluation and benchmarking purposes. The model supports both English and Chinese and appears designed to evaluate text-to-image outputs. With 8,572 downloads and 50 likes shortly after release, it has attracted modest early interest.
Qwen releases Qwen3.5-122B-A10B multimodal MoE model on Hugging Face
Qwen has released Qwen3.5-122B-A10B, a 122B-parameter mixture-of-experts image-text-to-text model with 10B active parameters, published on Hugging Face. The model supports conversational use and is compatible with Azure deployment endpoints. High download counts (840K) and likes (564) suggest rapid community uptake shortly after release.
