Qwen 4 reportedly planned for release in late October

from English

A contact with Alibaba has indicated that the Qwen 4 model series is scheduled to launch at the end of October. This timeline suggests a faster development cycle than previous iterations, which had longer gaps between versions.

The source cites an unnamed "0-day partner" of Alibaba as the origin of this information.
Specific details regarding which model variants will be released first remain undisclosed.
There is hope that the Qwen 4 27B variant will be available within the current year.
