    Qwen 4

    Qwen 4

    Alibaba

    Qwen 4 is Alibaba’s next-generation Qwen foundation model, announced on September 22, 2026, and currently in training. It will follow the Qwen3.8 generation as part of Alibaba’s broader roadmap for increasingly capable foundation and agentic AI models. Alibaba has not yet published Qwen 4’s parameter count, architecture, benchmark results, context window, pricing, release date, or availability details. The announcement places Qwen 4 within a research strategy focused on large-scale model training, agentic reinforcement learning, multimodal intelligence, and recursive self-improvement. Alibaba separately said that later Qwen 4.5 and Qwen 5 models are expected to scale into the 5-to-10-trillion-parameter range, but that figure was not attributed specifically to Qwen 4. Because Qwen 4 has not yet been released, detailed performance comparisons and production capabilities remain unconfirmed.
