Qwen2-VL 72B Instruct
Qwen2-VL 72B Instruct 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).
Compare Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B if you wanted the live multimodal flagship, leftover Qwen-VL if you wanted the earlier 2023 pair, and leftover Qwen3-VL-Reranker if you wanted a later VL retrieval twin.
Key Features
- Previous 72B VL instruct: The live card still downloads Qwen2-VL-72B-Instruct, not Qwen3.8.
- Not the 2026 Qwen lead: Live coding and multimodal work on this site starts at Qwen3.8.
- License is the card, not a 2026 commercial default: Confirm Apache-2.0 / Tongyi terms on the page you download.
- No invented SoTA crown: MathVista / DocVQA / 20min+ video stay off the table unless you re-run a first-party card.
Use Cases
- People with a Qwen2-VL 72B bookmark who need the catalog corrected.
- People who were about to paste 20-minute video SoTA into a 2026 deck.
Limitation: We did not re-download the 72B weights or re-run MathVista / DocVQA.
