Qwen3.5
Qwen3.5 is a next-generation open-weight multimodal large language model designed to power native vision-language agents. The flagship release, Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, combines a hybrid linear attention architecture with sparse mixture-of-experts, activating only 17 billion parameters per forward pass out of 397 billion total to maximize efficiency. It delivers strong benchmark performance across reasoning, coding, multilingual understanding, visual reasoning, and agent-based tasks. The model expands language support from 119 to 201 languages and dialects while introducing a 1M-token context window in its hosted version, Qwen3.5-Plus. Built for multimodal tasks, it processes text, images, and video with advanced spatial reasoning and tool integration. Qwen3.5 also incorporates scalable reinforcement learning environments to improve general agent capabilities. Designed for developers and enterprises, it enables efficient, tool-augmented, multimodal AI workflows.

LLaVA
LLaVA (Large Language-and-Vision Assistant) is an innovative multimodal model that integrates a vision encoder with the Vicuna language model to facilitate comprehensive visual and language understanding. Through end-to-end training, LLaVA exhibits impressive chat capabilities, emulating the multimodal functionalities of models like GPT-4. Notably, LLaVA-1.5 has achieved state-of-the-art performance across 11 benchmarks, utilizing publicly available data and completing training in approximately one day on a single 8-A100 node, surpassing methods that rely on billion-scale datasets. The development of LLaVA involved the creation of a multimodal instruction-following dataset, generated using language-only GPT-4. This dataset comprises 158,000 unique language-image instruction-following samples, including conversations, detailed descriptions, and complex reasoning tasks. This data has been instrumental in training LLaVA to perform a wide array of visual and language tasks effectively.
