Qwen-VL 是阿里云研发的大规模视觉语言模型(Large Vision Language Model, LVLM)。Qwen-VL 可以以图像、文本、检测框作为输入,并以文本和检测框作为输出。Qwen-VL 系列模型的特点包括:
- 强大的性能:在四大类多模态任务的标准英文测评中(Zero-shot Caption/VQA/DocVQA/Grounding)上,均取得同等通用模型大小下最好效果;
- 多语言对话模型:天然支持多语言对话,端到端支持图片里中英双语的长文本识别;
- 多图交错对话:支持多图输入和比较,指定图片问答,多图文学创作等;
- 首个支持中文开放域定位的通用模型:通过中文开放域语言表达进行检测框标注;
- 细粒度识别和理解:相比于目前其它开源LVLM使用的224分辨率,Qwen-VL是首个开源的448分辨率的LVLM模型。更高分辨率可以提升细粒度的文字识别、文档问答和检测框标注。
Qwen-VL (Qwen Large Vision Language Model) is the visual multimodal version of the large model series, Qwen (abbr. Tongyi Qianwen), proposed by Alibaba Cloud. Qwen-VL accepts image, text, and bounding box as inputs, outputs text and bounding box. The features of Qwen-VL include:
- Strong performance: It significantly surpasses existing open-source Large Vision Language Models (LVLM) under similar scale settings on multiple English evaluation benchmarks (including Zero-shot caption, VQA, DocVQA, and Grounding).
- Multi-lingual LVLM support text recognization: Qwen-VL naturally supports multi-lingual conversation, and it promotes end-to-end recognition of Chinese and English bi-lingual text in images.
- Multi-image interleaved conversations: This feature allows for the input and comparison of multiple images, as well as the ability to specify questions related to the images and engage in multi-image storytelling.
- First generalist model support grounding in Chinese: Detecting bounding boxes through open-domain language expression in both Chinese and English.
- Fine-grained recognization and understanding: Compared to the 224 resolution currently used by other open-source LVLM, the 448 resolution promotes fine-grained text recognition, document QA, and bounding box annotation.
目前,我们提供了 Qwen-VL 系列的两个模型:
- Qwen-VL: Qwen-VL 以 Qwen-7B 的预训练模型作为语言模型的初始化,并以 Openclip ViT-bigG 作为视觉编码器的初始化,中间加入单层随机初始化的 cross-attention,经过约1.5B的图文数据训练得到。最终图像输入分辨率为448。
- Qwen-VL-Chat: 在 Qwen-VL 的基础上,我们使用对齐机制打造了基于大语言模型的视觉AI助手Qwen-VL-Chat,其训练数据涵盖了 QWen-7B 的纯文本 SFT 数据、开源 LVLM 的 SFT 数据、数据合成和人工标注的图文对齐数据。

We release two models of the Qwen-VL series:
- Qwen-VL: The pre-trained LVLM model uses Qwen-7B as the initialization of the LLM, and Openclip ViT-bigG as the initialization of the visual encoder. And connects them with a randomly initialized cross-attention layer. Qwen-VL was trained on about 1.5B image-text paired data.
- Qwen-VL-Chat: A multimodal LLM-based AI assistant, which is trained with alignment techniques.

评测
我们从两个角度评测了两个模型的能力:
在英文标准 Benchmark 上评测模型的基础任务能力。目前评测了四大类多模态任务:
- Zero-shot Caption: 评测模型在未见过数据集上的零样本图片描述能力;
- General VQA: 评测模型的通用问答能力,例如判断题、颜色、个数、类目等问答能力;
- Text-based VQA:评测模型对于图片中文字相关的识别/问答能力,例如文档问答、图表问答、文字问答等;
- Referring Expression Compression:评测模型给定物体描述画检测框的能力;
试金石 (TouchStone) :为了评测模型整体的图文对话能力和人类对齐水平。我们为此构建了一个基于 GPT4 打分来评测 LVLM 模型的 Benchmark:TouchStone。在 TouchStone-v0.1 中:
- 评测基准总计涵盖 300+张图片、800+道题目、27个类别。包括基础属性问答、人物地标问答、影视作品问答、视觉推理、反事实推理、诗歌创作、故事写作,商品比较、图片解题等尽可能广泛的类别。
- 为了弥补目前 GPT4 无法直接读取图片的缺陷,我们给所有的带评测图片提供了人工标注的充分详细描述,并且将图片的详细描述、问题和模型的输出结果一起交给 GPT4 打分。
- 评测同时包含英文版本和中文版本。
评测结果如下:
We evaluated the model's ability from two perspectives:
Standard Benchmarks: We evaluate the model's basic task capabilities on four major categories of multimodal tasks:
- Zero-shot Caption: Evaluate model's zero-shot image captioning ability on unseen datasets;
- General VQA: Evaluate the general question-answering ability of pictures, such as the judgment, color, number, category, etc;
- Text-based VQA: Evaluate the model's ability to recognize text in pictures, such as document QA, chart QA, etc;
- Referring Expression Comprehension: Evaluate the ability to localize a target object in an image described by a referring expression.
TouchStone: To evaluate the overall text-image dialogue capability and alignment level with humans, we have constructed a benchmark called TouchStone, which is based on scoring with GPT4 to evaluate the LVLM model.
- The TouchStone benchmark covers a total of 300+ images, 800+ questions, and 27 categories. Such as attribute-based Q&A, celebrity recognition, writing poetry, summarizing multiple images, product comparison, math problem solving, etc;
- In order to break the current limitation of GPT4 in terms of direct image input, TouchStone provides fine-grained image annotations by human labeling. These detailed annotations, along with the questions and the model's output, are then presented to GPT4 for scoring.
- The benchmark includes both English and Chinese versions.
The results of the evaluation are as follows:
Qwen-VL outperforms current SOTA generalist models on multiple VL tasks and has a more comprehensive coverage in terms of capability range.

在文字相关的识别/问答评测上,取得了当前规模下通用 LVLM 达到的最好结果。
分辨率对上述某几个评测非常重要,大部分 224 分辨率的开源 LVLM 模型无法完成以上评测,或只能通过切图的方式解决。Qwen-VL 将分辨率提升到 448,可以直接以端到端的方式进行以上评测。Qwen-VL 在很多任务上甚至超过了 1024 分辨率的 Pic2Struct-Large 模型。
In text-related recognition/QA evaluation, Qwen-VL achieves the SOTA under the generalist LVLM scale settings.
Resolution is important for several above evaluations. While most open-source LVLM models with 224 resolution are incapable of these evaluations or can only solve these by cutting images, Qwen-VL scales the resolution to 448 so that it can be evaluated end-to-end. Qwen-VL even outperforms Pic2Struct-Large models of 1024 resolution on some tasks.
