About Qwen3 Omni
Pioneering the Future of Omni-Modal AI Technology
Our Mission
Qwen3 Omni represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence. We are dedicated to advancing the frontiers of omni-modal AI technology, making it accessible to developers, researchers, and enterprises worldwide. Our mission is to democratize cutting-edge AI capabilities and empower innovation across industries.
By providing open-source access to state-of-the-art AI models, we believe in fostering a collaborative ecosystem where developers can build transformative applications that enhance human capabilities and solve real-world challenges.
What is Qwen3 Omni?
Qwen3 Omni (Qwen3-Omni) is the world's first natively end-to-end omni-modal foundation model. Unlike traditional AI systems that process different modalities separately, Qwen3-Omni seamlessly integrates text, image, audio, and video understanding into a unified architecture.
Developed by the Qwen team at Alibaba Cloud, Qwen3 Omni achieves breakthrough performance across 36 industry benchmarks, securing state-of-the-art results in 22 categories. With ultra-low latency of just 211ms for audio responses, Qwen3-Omni enables truly real-time multimodal interactions.
The model supports 119 text languages, 19 speech input languages, and 10 speech output languages, making it one of the most globally accessible AI platforms available today.
Our Technology
Qwen3 Omni's revolutionary architecture employs a novel Thinker-Talker design powered by Mixture of Experts (MoE). This innovative approach allows the model to maintain exceptional performance across all modalities without the typical trade-offs seen in traditional multimodal systems.
Key technological innovations include:
- AuT (Audio-Text) pretraining for robust cross-modal understanding
- Multi-codebook audio generation for natural speech synthesis
- Real-time streaming capabilities with minimal latency
- Native tool calling and function execution support
- Advanced context handling up to 30 minutes of audio
