About Qwen

Qwen is the AI model family built by Alibaba Cloud, and Qwen Chat is its assistant for everyday use. You can chat with Qwen models, generate images and generate video, with daily bonus credits for video included on every plan.

The Free plan has standard usage limits. Go raises the limits and adds 400 credits each month. Plus expands the limits for frequent use and adds 2,000 credits each month. Pro offers professional limits for intensive use, high-volume image generation and 10,500 credits each month.

Developers can use the Qwen models through Alibaba Cloud's Model Studio. Alibaba describes the family as open source, with models published on Hugging Face, ModelScope and GitHub. The family includes vision-language, audio, text-to-speech and coding models, and the models support 119 languages.

Our take

Good for
chat, images and video from Alibaba Cloud, plus open models you can run yourself.
Skip it if
you would send sensitive data through the hosted service.
The catch
most open models use a permissive licence but a few do not, the flagship models are API-only, and hosted use processes data on Alibaba Cloud, so check each licence and self-host to keep data in-house.

Checked . Plans and limits change, so confirm them on the vendor's site before you buy.
