Alibaba’s Qwen team releases AI models that can control PCs and phones
Alibaba's Qwen team has released a new family of models, Qwen2.5-VL, that can control a PC and phone, plus handle other visual tasks.
Per the Qwen team’s benchmarking, the best Qwen2.5-VL model beats OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash on a range of video understanding, math, document analysis, and question-answering evaluations. Qwen2.5-VL can also recognize “IPs from film and TV series, as well as a wide variety of products,” per the team — suggesting that the models might’ve been trained in part on copyrighted works. The flagship Qwen2.5-VL-72B, however, is under Alibaba’s custom license, which requires that companies and devs with more than 100 million monthly active users request permission from Qwen/Alibaba before deploying the model commercially.
