Qwen, Alibaba's open-weight model family, quietly became one of the most-used AI lineups in the world: strong general chat, excellent coding variants, standout multilingual coverage, and generous free tiers. On CoreAI, the current Qwen lineup — including free variants — sits alongside GPT-5, Claude, DeepSeek, and 300+ other models.
Why Developers and Polyglots Pick Qwen
Coding. Qwen's coder variants are consistently near the top of open-model coding benchmarks, and the free tiers make them the default "free coding AI" for many developers.
Languages. Qwen models are trained on broad multilingual data and are notably strong across Asian and European languages — a practical edge for translation and international work.
Size range. The family spans small fast models to flagship-class releases, so there's a Qwen for quick tasks and a Qwen for hard ones — the live table above shows what's currently available and at what price.
Qwen vs DeepSeek vs Kimi
The three leading open families each have a personality: DeepSeek leads on reasoning-per-dollar, Kimi K2 on agentic coding, and Qwen on breadth — languages, sizes, and consistent quality. Rankings shift with every release, so compare them on your own prompts rather than trusting last month's leaderboard.
CoreAI is an independent app; Qwen is a trademark of its owner, with model access provided through licensed AI infrastructure.
