Qwen

Alibaba's family of open-weight language, coding, and multimodal models.

Definition

Qwen is Alibaba's family of open-weight models — meaning anyone can download and run them — covering general language, coding, math, and image-and-text variants across many sizes. Hosted widely on model-sharing sites, the series is a popular base for fine-tuning (adapting a model with extra training) and running on one's own machine. It is noted for strong multilingual performance, especially across Chinese and English, and is used broadly in both research and production.
