Qwen Chatchat.qwen.ai ↗
What it does
Free AI assistant on Qwen models: chat, image/video understanding, image generation/editing, document processing, voice and video chat, artifacts.
Strong fit
Zero-cost access to strong multimodal frontier models with generous use; great for trying image, video and document AI without a subscription.
Poor fit
Avoid for sensitive or regulated data: data is processed by a China-based vendor with no clear training opt-out, and there is no paid consumer support tier.
Limitations
No paid consumer plan or SLA/support; usage limits not published; policies give the vendor broad rights over user content with no documented training opt-out; data residency concerns.
Verified facts
Qwen Chat/Studio is free to use and open to all (chat, multimodal, image gen, docs, voice/video); no consumer paid plan or published limits.
No paid consumer plan. Paid usage is the developer API, billed per token via Alibaba Cloud Model Studio; new accounts get a one-time free trial token quota (~70M tokens).
