Qwen team from Alibaba presents the Qwen 2.5 series: Qwen2.5-Max (large-scale MoE), Qwen2.5-VL (vision-language), and Qwen2.5-1M (long-context). This represents a significant step forward.
I’ve been testing a bunch of large language models, and Qwen 2.5 really holds its own. The ability to process long contexts is a huge win—it handled a 40-page doc with references like a pro. It’s not just smart; it’s contextually aware, which is rare at this level.
