Qwen3 VL 235B A22B Instruct

Alibaba · Multimodal · Released Sep 2025

Compare

A 235-billion-parameter multimodal vision-language model from Alibaba that processes text, images, and video with a 131k-token context window.

Strengths
Handles large-scale multimodal tasks with its 235B parameter count, enabling sophisticated reasoning across text, images, and video in a single forward pass.
Best for
Complex vision-language applications requiring dense model capacity, such as detailed image analysis, multi-page document understanding, and video comprehension at scale.
Limitations
The 131k-token context window is shorter than some dense alternatives like Qwen3 Next 80B A3B Instruct, and extended reasoning workloads may benefit from the Thinking variant released concurrently.
