Qwen-VL
Qwen-VL is a previous Alibaba vision-language snapshot, not the live Qwen multimodal flagship. The current Qwen path on this site is Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B (Coder $0.14/$0.80; 397B $0.29/$1.20). This site has leftover Qwen3-VL-Embedding and Qwen3-VL-Reranker, but no standalone Qwen3-VL chat page.
Compare Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B if you wanted the live multimodal flagship, leftover Qwen2-VL 72B Instruct if you wanted the later 2024 VL crown, and leftover Qwen3-VL-Embedding if you wanted the later VL embedding twin.
Key Features
- Previous 2023 Qwen-VL pair: The live card still lists Qwen-VL and Qwen-VL-Chat, not Qwen3.8.
- Not the 2026 Qwen lead: Live coding and multimodal work on this site starts at Qwen3.8.
- License is Tongyi Qianwen, not MIT: Confirm the card before you call it fully commercial.
- No invented LVLM crown: Do not paste leftover Chinese grounding / multi-image chat copy as a 2026 census.
Use Cases
- People with a Qwen-VL bookmark who need the catalog corrected.
- People who were about to call it Alibaba's current LVLM.
Limitation: We did not re-download the 2023 Qwen-VL weights or invent a 2026 per-token price for this card.
