Description
Qwen 4 is the upcoming fourth-generation foundation model in Alibaba’s Qwen AI family. Alibaba publicly confirmed at its 2026 Apsara Conference that the model is currently being trained. The company has not yet released technical specifications, model weights, API access, pricing, benchmark results, or a launch date for Qwen 4. Its development forms part of Alibaba’s broader effort to advance foundation models capable of increasingly complex and long-horizon work. The Qwen team is also researching recursive self-improvement, in which models use empirical feedback to identify weaknesses, design experiments, evaluate results, and iteratively improve training processes. Alibaba demonstrated this approach with Qwen3.8-Max, which completed 33 automated optimization cycles during a month-long experiment and improved its Artificial Analysis score from 40 to 45. These experiments provide context for Alibaba’s model-development direction but do not establish specific Qwen 4 capabilities. Alibaba has additionally outlined Qwen 4.5 and Qwen 5 models that could eventually scale to between 5 trillion and 10 trillion parameters. Until Qwen 4 is released, its exact architecture, modalities, performance, deployment options, and licensing remain to be announced.
Description
Strands Decider is a compact and swift decision-making model, known as a System One model, tailored for agentic AI applications. In contrast to a language model that produces random text, this model selects from a set of predefined options, responds to yes-or-no inquiries, or assesses inputs using an ordered scale. Each decision made by the Strands Decider is accompanied by a calibrated confidence score, enabling the efficient processing of routine decisions while allowing uncertain cases to be escalated to either a larger model or a human for further analysis. The initial iteration of this model, strands-decider-2B, comprises 1.9 billion parameters and is built upon the Qwen3.5-2B-Base architecture, featuring a streamlined pointer head in place of its language-modeling component. It performs evaluations in a single forward pass, eliminating the need for text generation or a decoding loop. Supported types of decisions encompass choice selections, noul for probability assessments, and score for evaluating ordered scales. This model is engineered for a variety of applications, including model routing, selecting tools, verifying tool arguments, triaging requests, establishing grounding and safety measures, classifying policies, and providing economical evaluations, thereby enhancing its utility in diverse AI workflows.
