Summary
Following its release of multiple open-source language AI models over the summer that matched or outperformed US competitors, Alibaba has released Qwen Image, an AI image generator model that is open source and of a high rank.
Qwen Image stands out from its rivals due to its ability to render text clearly within images, something many competitors struggle with.
The model supports alphabetic and logographic scripts and is thus capable of managing complex typography, multi-line layouts, paragraph-level semantics and bilingual content.
However, an early review of the model found that although Qwen Image is open source and free to use, it is outperformed by Midjourney, a US AI image generator that is costly to use.
It is nevertheless a useful AI for enterprise and third-party providers to create collateral such as flyers, ads and newsletters.
