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.
Affordable real-time search API that returns structured JSON plus page content in a single call.
Send a query and receive live web results as clean, structured JSON that is ready for parsing, ranking or feeding into a model.
Convert any URL into clean, readable markdown in the same API key, removing boilerplate so retrieved text is directly usable for RAG and summarization.
Requests are routed across multiple underlying search sources with health monitoring and automatic retries, so a single empty source does not break your pipeline.
Official libraries and snippets for Python, JavaScript, MCP and LangChain make it a few lines of code to add live search to an agent or app.
