Qwen

Alibaba's family of open AI models, among the most downloaded worldwide.

Qwen is the model family built by Chinese tech giant Alibaba. Many Qwen models are released as open weights, from tiny versions that run on a laptop to large ones that rival frontier systems.

For local-AI fans, Qwen models are a staple: they are free to download, cover many sizes and languages, and often top the charts of most-used open models.
