Introducing the compact, dense versions of Qwen3-VL — now available in 4B and 8B pairs, each with both Instruct and Thinking variants. ✅ Lower VRAM usage ✅ Full Qwen3-VL capabilities retained ✅ Strong performance across the board Despite their size, they outperform models like Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite and GPT-5 Nano, and often beat them on benchmarks spanning STEM, VQA, OCR, video understanding, agent tasks, and more. In many cases, they even rival our flagship Qwen2.5-VL-72B from just six months ago! Plus, FP8 versions are also available for efficient deployment.
