Alibaba’s Qwen2-VL models are state-of-the-art vision-language models (VLMs) available in three sizes: 2B, 7B, and 72B parameters. These advanced generative language models support multimodal inputs, including text, single or multiple images, and even 20-minute-long videos.

Qwen2-VL models currently excel as the top open-source VLMs for various tasks such as image captioning, visual question answering, optical character recognition (OCR), and multimodal chat. Additionally, they have demonstrated impressive performance in multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, making them exceptionally versatile in handling complex, multimodal data.
