Alibaba has released Qwen-Image-Edit, a 20 billion parameter open-source AI model for image editing that ranks as the top open weights model in its category. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, Qwen-Image-Edit offers capabilities such as rotating, restyling, and adding text to images without compromising image integrity. The model's performance is comparable to leading proprietary models like OpenAI's GPT-4o and FLUX.1 Kontext [max]. This release is part of Alibaba's broader Qwen series evolution, which has rapidly advanced since 2023, encompassing multimodal and reasoning-focused iterations. The Qwen-Image-Edit model supports natural language prompts for image editing and has been integrated into updated image generation and editing applications. Meanwhile, other open-source AI models, including Microsoft's VibeVoice-1.5B text-to-speech model and Alibaba's Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct for coding and speech applications, continue to expand the open-source AI ecosystem. On the AI leaderboard, non-Chinese open-source models such as GPT-OSS 120B and Mistral Small 3.2 hold the 16th and 17th positions respectively, highlighting Alibaba's leading position in open-source image editing AI.
