Qwen Chat

Qwen Chat is the AI assistant made by Alibaba. It runs on Qwen, the family of large language models that Alibaba Cloud first released in 2023 under the Chinese name Tongyi Qianwen. The assistant answers questions, writes text, helps with code and reads images and documents.

The web app lets users pick between several Qwen models, including reasoning models and models for images and video. It can search the web and create images. In China, Alibaba also offers a consumer app called Qwen, which it has tied into services such as Taobao and Alipay. Users can upload files, ask questions about long documents and create short videos. The interface is available in English, Chinese and other languages.

Qwen Chat is free to use. Alibaba releases many Qwen models with open weights, and they are among the most downloaded open models for developers around the world. Businesses can use the models through Alibaba Cloud's Model Studio. Alibaba is based in Hangzhou, China.
