Qwen Release Notes

We are excited to open-source Qwen-Image-2.1, an image model in the Qwen family that balances generation quality, inference efficiency, and cost. Qwen-Image-2.1 unifies text-to-image generation and image editing in a single model, with just 7B parameters in its visual generation component and native support for generating and editing transparent images. This update introduces four key...

Simultaneous interpretation is not only about translating fast — it must also hear clearly and translate accurately.

Qwen3.8-LiveTranslate rebuilds real-time simultaneous interpretation with an Interleave architecture, improving faithfulness, fluency, and conciseness across the board, while average lagging (LAAL) drops from 2.8 seconds to 2.3 seconds.

We want simultaneous interpretation to...

Today, we are launching Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash, our next-generation native omnimodal model. Its core objective is to strengthen agent capabilities in real-world productivity scenarios, advancing omnimodal models from “understanding omnimodal content” to “planning tasks, calling tools, and completing creative work.” Building on general agentic capabilities in coding, text-based knowledge work, and...

We introduce Qwen-Drive-1.0, the first vision-language foundation model for autonomous driving that unifies 3D perception and visual question answering at the pretraining stage and further extends to motion planning, while keeping the pretrained VLM architecture entirely untouched. Built on the natively multimodal Qwen3.5-4B, it attaches two external modules. A BEV perception head serves as an...

In this release we are opening the weights of Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, a multimodal MoE model that also serves as an early preview of the architecture used in Qwen4. It plays the same role that Qwen3-Next played for Qwen3.5: the hybrid Gated DeltaNet + Gated Attention design introduced at that time has since been used across the Qwen3.5, Qwen3.6, Qwen3.7 and Qwen3.8 series. We are again releasing the...

This version improves task creation and result presentation, and fixes several known issues.

• Improved the task creation flow for smoother everyday use.
• Improved result presentation for a better reading experience.
• Fixed page-state display issues in some scenarios.
• Improved overall web app stability.

Today, we are officially releasing Qwen 3.8-Max, the most capable model in the Qwen family to date. This also marks the first time we will open-source the weights of a Qwen-Max-class model — the open weights will be released next week. Built upon the architectural foundation of Qwen 3.5, Qwen 3.8-Max scales to 2.4 trillion parameters, delivering comprehensive improvements across coding, work,...

We are launching Qwen-Image-3.0, the third-generation foundational image generation model in the Qwen-Image series. If the keyword for Qwen-Image-1.0 was "Precision", and the keywords for Qwen-Image-2.0 were "Precision, Variety, Completeness, Beauty, and Authenticity", then the core of Qwen-Image-3.0 comes down to a single word — "Real" (实). This "Real" is embodied across three dimensions:...

Today we release Qwen-AgentWorld, a native language world model that simulates agent environments across seven domains:

Native world modeling

environment modeling is the training objective from continual pre-training onward (CPT → SFT → RL), not a post hoc adaptation on top of a general-purpose LLM.

Seven domains, one model

a single model simulates text-based (MCP, Search, Terminal, SWE)...

The Qwen family of foundation models already gives strong perception and reasoning about the physical world. But seeing is not acting: the gap between vision and language understanding and physical control remains the central bottleneck for embodied intelligence. The Qwen-Robot Suite bridges this gap with three foundation models — Qwen-RobotNav, Qwen-RobotManip, and Qwen-RobotWorld. Nav unifies...

Today we introduce Qwen3.7-Plus — a multimodal agent model that unifies vision and language into a single, versatile agent foundation. Building on Qwen3.7's strong text backbone, Qwen3.7-Plus delivers a comprehensive upgrade in vision-language...

Today we introduce Qwen3.7-Max, our latest proprietary model designed for the agent era. Qwen3.7-Max is built to be a versatile agent foundation — equally capable of writing and debugging code, automating office workflows, and sustaining autonomous execution across hundreds or thousands of steps. What sets Qwen3.7-Max apart is the breadth and depth of its agent capabilities. It excels as a...

Qwen3.5-LiveTranslate-Flash is the latest simultaneous interpretation model in the Qwen family, built on top of Qwen3.5-Omni. It delivers real-time, multimodal translation that not only hears and translates speech, but also sees and understands visual context to produce more accurate translations. Compared with its predecessor Qwen3-LiveTranslate, Qwen3.5-LiveTranslate-Flash brings major...

Interpretability research has emerged as a critical area for understanding LLM behaviors, informing performance optimization, and enabling more controllable model outputs. Today, we are excited to introduce Qwen-Scope, an interpretability toolkit trained on the Qwen3 and Qwen3.5 series models. Specifically, we inserted and trained Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) within Qwen’s hidden layers. By...
