Alibaba’s Qwen team released a new image generation artificial intelligence (AI) model last week. Dubbed Qwen VLo, it is a successor to the Qwen 2.5 vision language model and comes with several upgrades compared to the older models. The latest AI image model supports both text-to-image and image-to-image generation. It also supports text input in multiple languages, including English and Chinese. Apart from image generation, the AI model is also capable of making inline edits to generated images as well as input images.
In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), the official handle of the Qwen team announced the release of the new model. The model’s technical name is Qwen3-235B-A22B, and it is available on the company’s chat interface for free here. Users can also use the model without logging in.
Gadgets 360 staff members tested out the AI model and found its image generation capability to be on par with Google’s Imagen 2. The instruction following and image output quality is slightly lower than Imagen-3 and OpenAI’s GPT-4o-powered image generation feature. However, its generation time is faster than both of them, and it has a higher rate limit than them.
