qwen3-vl-flash

Updated at:

The Qwen3 series of small-scale visual understanding models effectively integrates thinking and non-thinking modes, delivering superior performance compared to the open-source Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B while maintaining fast response speeds. It features a comprehensive upgrade in image/video understanding, supporting ultra-long contexts such as extended videos and documents, spatial awareness, and object recognition across various domains. Equipped with 2D/3D visual localization capabilities, it is well-suited for tackling complex real-world tasks.This model version is functionally equivalent to the snapshot model qwen3-vl-flash-2026-01-22.
