QwQ-32B: Scaling Reinforcement Learning for Enhanced Reasoning
Alibaba's Qwen team releases QwQ-32B, a 32-billion parameter model trained with scaled Reinforcement Learning to improve reasoning capabilities beyond conventional pretraining and post-training methods. The release draws explicit comparison to DeepSeek R1's cold-start and multi-stage RL training approach. The model is available via Qwen Chat, Hugging Face, ModelScope, and a demo interface. This represents Qwen's exploration of RL scalability as a path to enhanced LLM intelligence.

DeepSeek releases R1-0528-Qwen3-8B distilled reasoning model on Hugging Face
DeepSeek released DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B, an 8B parameter text-generation model on Hugging Face, combining the R1-0528 reasoning capabilities with a Qwen3 base. The model has accumulated over 306K downloads and 1K likes shortly after release, indicating strong community uptake. This appears to be a distilled version of the R1-0528 reasoning model targeting smaller-scale deployment.
Qwen2.5-Math Process Reward Model for Mathematical Reasoning Supervision
Alibaba's Qwen team introduces a process reward model (PRM) aimed at improving the reliability of mathematical reasoning in LLMs by supervising intermediate reasoning steps rather than only final answers. The work addresses the problem of models producing plausible but flawed intermediate derivations even when reaching correct conclusions. The release includes model weights on HuggingFace and ModelScope alongside a GitHub repository.
Qwen1.5-32B: Alibaba's 30B-Parameter Capstone for the Qwen1.5 Series
Alibaba's Qwen team released Qwen1.5-32B, a ~30 billion parameter open-weights language model positioned as the capstone of the Qwen1.5 series. The model targets the emerging consensus around 30B parameters as an optimal balance between performance, memory footprint, and inference efficiency. It is released alongside code on GitHub, weights on HuggingFace and ModelScope, and an interactive demo.
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.
