Answers

Qwen Plus — common questions

01

Qwen Plus— is it open source?

No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

Qwen Plus— how many parameters does it have?

No parameter count has been published for it, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

03

Qwen Plus— who created it?

It was published by Alibaba, based in China, an organisation categorised as industry.

04

Qwen Plus— when was it released?

It was published in February 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

05

Qwen Plus— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling/generation, Code generation, Question answering, Translation, Quantitative reasoning. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

06

Qwen Plus— what GPU do I need to run it?

None. This is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

The other direction

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
