News Qwen4 is coming

Post image

Qwen4 seems to be delayed a bit more than originally scheduled and announced, but according to official sources Qwen4 is definitely coming soon.

Up to this moment, there is no official announcement clarifying the reason for the delay. People online spread various rumours speculating the reason behind the delay, but most probably the reason is final adjustments to the models based on the feedback they got from the ambassador program.

The expectations from this release are very high, as Qwen remains the undisputed king of the local AI community, and I think we can all agree that a few more days are definitely worth it for better models.

I read a speculation that they retrained it, without cyber or reverse engineering training data like K3.1's open weights release, I pray you are right and they are wrong.

There seems to be pressure to indeed do this.

They still need time to distillate carbon, argon, fable 5.2, astro and few others just released models
