Qwen-Image-Layered is an extension of the Qwen series of multimodal models that introduces layered image understanding, enabling the model to reason about hierarchical visual structures — such as separating foreground, background, objects, and contextual layers within an image. This architecture allows richer semantic interpretation, enabling use cases such as scene decomposition, object-level editing, layered captioning, and more fine-grained multimodal reasoning than with flat image encodings alone. By combining text and structured image representations, it aims to facilitate tasks where both descriptive and structural understanding are important, such as detailed image QA, interactive image editing via prompt layers, and image-conditioned generation with structural control. ...
