Qwen: Qwen3 VL 8B Thinking

by Qwen

Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking is the reasoning-optimized variant of the Qwen3-VL-8B multimodal model, designed for advanced visual and textual reasoning across complex scenes, documents, and temporal sequences. It integrates enhanced multimodal alignment and long-context processing (native 256K, expandable to 1M tokens) for tasks such as scientific visual analysis, causal inference, and mathematical reasoning over image or video inputs. Compared to the Instruct edition, the Thinking version introduces deeper visual-language fusion and deliberate reasoning pathways that improve performance on long-chain logic tasks, STEM problem-solving, and multi-step video understanding. It achieves stronger temporal grounding via Interleaved-MRoPE and timestamp-aware embeddings, while maintaining robust OCR, multilingual comprehension, and text generation on par with large text-only LLMs.
