Official repository for Qwen-VL, Alibaba Cloud's large vision-language model family, including the pretrained Qwen-VL and instruction-tuned Qwen-VL-Chat checkpoints with quantized variants. It provides model weights, inference code, fine-tuning support, and demos for multimodal image understanding and visual question answering.

Use cases

• run a vision-language model to answer questions about images
• perform OCR and text recognition on images with an LLM
• build a multimodal chatbot that understands images
• fine-tune a vision-language model on custom data
• compare visual reasoning capabilities of open VLMs
• deploy a quantized multimodal model locally

When to choose

• you need an open-weights vision-language model for image understanding
• you want multimodal chat with strong OCR and high-resolution image support
• you need a VLM you can fine-tune or quantize for local deployment

When to avoid

• you only need text-only LLM capabilities
• you want a hosted API without managing model weights
• you need video or audio multimodality rather than images
