Who is it for?

Chinese users who want to directly use the latest models of Tongyi Qianwen; developers who are in the model selection stage and need to compare the capabilities of open-source and closed-source versions of Qwen; as well as individuals and teams who want to experience multimodal, document processing, and voice-video capabilities at a low threshold and evaluate the upper limits of the models.

Key features
