Qwen Chat
What it is
Qwen Chat is Qwen Studio, an AI assistant powered by the Qwen series models and offered free to use. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and the web. The assistant handles reasoning tasks in math, science, and coding, along with creative writing. You can upload CSV, Excel, and text files for analysis, summaries, and visualizations, with processing described for up to 1 million tokens. It accepts audio, images, and video without requiring a model change, and can create images and videos from prompts. Qwen Studio Artifacts creates, references, and updates HTML and SVG content with real-time visualization. Mobile apps support voice conversations and photo questions, while desktop apps can discuss email, screenshots, files, and screen content. An OpenAI-compatible API is also described for building applications. The privacy policy says prompts and uploaded content may be collected and de-identified content may improve services.
