Author's Description
Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B Instruct is an open-weight multimodal model that unifies strong text generation with visual understanding across images and video. The Instruct model targets general vision-language use (VQA, document parsing, chart/table extraction, multilingual OCR). The series emphasizes robust perception (recognition of diverse real-world and synthetic categories), spatial understanding (2D/3D grounding), and long-form visual comprehension, with competitive results on public multimodal benchmarks for both perception and reasoning. Beyond analysis, Qwen3-VL supports agentic interaction and tool use: it can follow complex instructions over multi-image, multi-turn dialogues; align text to video timelines for precise temporal queries; and operate GUI elements for automation tasks. The models also enable visual coding workflows—turning sketches or mockups into code and assisting with UI debugging—while maintaining strong text-only performance comparable to the flagship Qwen3 language models. This makes Qwen3-VL suitable for production scenarios spanning document AI, multilingual OCR, software/UI assistance, spatial/embodied tasks, and research on vision-language agents.
