One API for every generative image, video and audio model
Access text-to-image, image-to-video, text-to-video, upscaling, background removal, face swap and lip sync through the same authentication and billing setup.
Pick the provider that is cheapest or fastest for a given model without rewriting your integration, and switch as pricing and quality change.
Compare models with published rankings and a leaderboard, read request-level docs, and plug in via the CLI or MCP server for agent workloads.
Build multi-step pipelines, explore prompts in an interactive studio, and let agent or workflow features chain several models into one finished asset.
Alibaba Cloud's 4th-generation multimodal AI assistant and foundation model lineup (Qwen4-Max, Qwen4-Plus, Qwen4-Flash & open-weight Qwen4-27B) with 1M context.
Covers every compute envelope from the multi-trillion-scale Qwen4-Max flagship and Qwen4-Plus/Flash APIs to the local PC-friendly Qwen4-27B open-weight checkpoint, plus qwen4-coder-plus and qwen4-omni-120b-think.
Pioneered in the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next architecture preview, combining ultra-lean active parameter routing (6B active out of 125B) with a 51B n-gram embedding layer that trades compute for instant memorized lookup.
Sizes the Qwen 4 generation at a full 1M-token context window across text, code, images, audio, and video for repository-wide coding and cross-document reasoning.
Trained via multi-cycle automated Recursive Self-Improvement across coding, math, and hardware EDA workflows—demonstrating 10,000+ autonomous tool calls in chip design and software engineering.
Free / Open-sourceProvides state-of-the-art open-weight reasoning models and low-cost APIs, but with less emphasis on multimodal Alibaba ecosystem tools.
