Qwen Chat is Alibaba’s assistant built on the Qwen model series, one of the most widely used open-weight families in the world. The chat app is free and covers text, vision, coding, web search, image generation and video understanding in one place, with some of the most generous usage limits of any major assistant.
For developers the same models run locally under Apache-2.0 weights or through Alibaba’s DashScope API at aggressive prices, and Qwen’s coding and multimodal variants have become default baselines in open-model benchmarks. If you want a free ChatGPT-class assistant without an account lock-in, Qwen is the strongest candidate.
