What is Qwen 4?

Qwen 4 is Alibaba’s forthcoming next-generation foundation model and the planned successor to the company’s Qwen3.x model family. Alibaba announced Qwen 4 at the 2026 Apsara Conference on September 22 and confirmed that the model is currently in training. The company has not yet disclosed Qwen 4’s architecture, parameter count, context length, training-compute requirements, benchmark scores, pricing, licensing terms, or release schedule. Qwen 4 is being developed as Alibaba expands its broader AI stack across foundation models, multimodal systems, AI infrastructure, and agent-oriented cloud services. A major research direction surrounding Alibaba’s next generation of models is recursive self-improvement based on real-world tasks and empirical feedback. The company has already experimented with this approach using Qwen3.8-Max, allowing the model to participate in automated pipeline design, data validation, experimentation, error diagnosis, and post-training optimization. Alibaba reported that Qwen3.8-Max completed 33 iterative cycles during one such experiment and increased its Artificial Analysis score from 40 to 45. In a separate chip-design experiment, a Qwen model performed more than 10,000 EDA tool calls during over 60 hours of automated improvement work, illustrating Alibaba’s interest in long-horizon agentic tasks. These demonstrations describe the research program surrounding future Qwen development rather than confirmed features of Qwen 4 itself. Alibaba has also announced a longer-term roadmap in which Qwen 4.5 and Qwen 5 models are projected to reach between 5 trillion and 10 trillion parameters. Qwen 4 therefore remains a pre-release model, with detailed capabilities and access information expected to become clearer when Alibaba publishes its formal launch materials.

What is Ferret?

A sophisticated End-to-End MLLM has been developed to accommodate various types of references and effectively ground its responses. The Ferret Model employs a unique combination of Hybrid Region Representation and a Spatial-aware Visual Sampler, which facilitates detailed and adaptable referring and grounding functions within the MLLM framework. Serving as a foundational element, the GRIT Dataset consists of about 1.1 million entries, specifically designed as a large-scale and hierarchical dataset aimed at enhancing instruction tuning in the ground-and-refer domain. Moreover, the Ferret-Bench acts as a thorough multimodal evaluation benchmark that concurrently measures referring, grounding, semantics, knowledge, and reasoning, thus providing a comprehensive assessment of the model's performance. This elaborate configuration is intended to improve the synergy between language and visual information, which could lead to more intuitive AI systems that better understand and interact with users. Ultimately, advancements in these models may significantly transform how we engage with technology in our daily lives.
