Alibaba Open Qwen4-Max Preview Version, Focused on Complex Programming

Alibaba announced that the new generation of the Qwen large model, Qwen4, has begun open testing, with the flagship preview version Qwen4-Max launched. This model has been integrated with Alibaba's Token Plan, Qwen Office, Qoder, Qwen App, and QwenStudio.

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

Qwen4 has been in a warm-up phase for several months. In September of this year, Alibaba announced that the Qwen4 based on the new architecture is in training. The earlier released Qwen3.8-Flash-Next has already opened an experimental version of the new architecture. According to the previously showcased product plan, the Qwen4 series also includes Flash, Plus, and a 27B version aimed at local deployment.
