Alibaba's Qwen4 finally arrives: Max preview version launched first, focusing on complex programming and professional software operations.

Beating AI News Flash: Alibaba has announced that its next-generation Qwen large model, Qwen4, is now open for trial, with the flagship Qwen4-Max preview edition leading the rollout. The model has been integrated into Alibaba Token Plan, Qwen Office, Qoder, Qwen App, and QwenStudio.

This generation focuses on upgrading complex programming, front-end design, and agent capabilities. Alibaba also specifically emphasized professional office work and software operation, hoping the model can autonomously use tools and complete multi-step tasks.

Qwen4 had been teased for months. In September this year, Alibaba announced that Qwen4 based on a new architecture was in training. The earlier-released Qwen3.8-Flash-Next had already opened an experimental version of the new architecture ahead of time.

According to the previously showcased product roadmap, the Qwen4 series also includes Flash, Plus, and a 27B version for local deployment.
