More Model Sizes Expected for Alibaba's Qwen Family
A community post indicates that Alibaba Cloud is expected to release additional model sizes for its Qwen large language model family. Offering a wider range of model sizes allows developers to choose the optimal balance between performance and computational efficiency for local deployment. This expansion strengthens Qwen's position in the open-source AI ecosystem. While specific parameters and release dates for the new sizes remain unconfirmed, the expansion targets the local LLM community looking for tailored model capacities.
## BACKGROUND
Qwen is a family of large language models (LLMs) and large multimodal models (LMMs) developed by Alibaba Cloud. These models are widely used in the open-source AI community due to their strong performance across various benchmarks and support for multiple languages.
