Qwen
Qwen is an open-source large language model developed by Alibaba that has gained significant adoption across multiple sectors. Recently, Qwen has been integrated into commercial applications including Uber Eats' search system and Apple Intelligence in China, while also being widely used by Western AI startups and research labs as a foundation for developing new open-model adaptations. The model has also been compressed for mobile deployment, with optimized versions running on iPhones, and has been utilized to generate college recommendation reports for Chinese students.
