Qwen 4 main features

Four versions for different tasks, fast work with long files and recordings, and strong coding and science

Qwen generations: Qwen in August 2023, Qwen2 in June 2024, Qwen3 in April 2025 and Qwen 4 coming soon

The next Qwen generation

Qwen 4 is the first new Qwen generation since Qwen 3, rebuilt from its core parts. It does more with less compute, so even the small versions take on tasks that needed a flagship before

Try it
The Qwen 4 family: Qwen 4 Max, the flagship, Qwen 4 Plus, balanced, Qwen 4 Flash, fast, and Qwen 4 27B with open weights, all coming soon

Four models: Max, Plus, Flash and 27B

Pick the Qwen 4 version that fits the task. Max takes on the hardest problems, Plus balances quality and speed, Flash answers fast at a low cost, and 27B is a small model with open weights

Try it
A two-hour all-hands recording and an 86-page board deck attached, Qwen 4 picked and a question about numbers that don't match

A new architecture for long inputs

Qwen 4 reads up to 1 million tokens of text, images and video and stays fast, because it turns on only a small share of its parameters for each token. Attach a two-hour meeting recording with the slide deck and ask which numbers don't match

Try it
Qwen 4 fixing a cart total in cart.py: prices summed as Decimal, and the coupon test passes

Coding and science

Qwen 4 finds bugs in large projects and writes fixes that pass the tests. It also solves graduate-level problems in physics, chemistry and biology. Paste a failing test, and Qwen 4 points to the broken line and fixes it
