The official repository for Qwen (Tongyi Qianwen), Alibaba Cloud's family of pretrained and chat large language models, with weights on Hugging Face and ModelScope and inference/quantization code. It has been superseded by QwenLM/Qwen2 and is no longer actively maintained.

Use cases

• run the original Qwen chat model locally
• download Qwen pretrained model weights
• quantize Qwen to int4 or int8 for cheaper inference
• fine-tune Qwen-7B on my own data
• use a bilingual Chinese-English LLM
• deploy Qwen with vLLM or FastChat

When to choose

• you specifically need the original Qwen1 model weights or reproduce its paper results
• you maintain a legacy pipeline already built on Qwen1

When to avoid

• you want a maintained codebase - use QwenLM/Qwen2 or newer instead
• you need the latest Qwen capabilities or long-context support
• you are starting a new project with no Qwen1 dependency
