Qwen

Alibaba Cloud

Qwen (2023) by Alibaba Cloud

Alibaba's Qwen weights — often the best local model in a given size class.

The other open family.

Qwen 1.5 through 2.5 (and QwQ) became the homelab default when Llama lagged a generation. Dense, coder, and MoE lines, all runnable.

Kept the open-weight race from being a one-lab story.

Filed notes

  • Competitive dense open models
  • Coder and math variants
  • Permissive-enough local use
