Qwen3.8-Omni: Towards Native Omni-Modal Agents

We introduce Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash, a natively multimodal agentic model for real-world multimodal productivity. Compared with previous omni models, which primarily emphasized perception and interaction, Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash substantially improves multimodal understanding and reasoning, as well as performance on long-horizon agentic tasks. These capabilities are supported by a native multimodal co-training strategy that preserves strong text-domain capabilities while facilitating the transfer of agentic capabilities from text to audio and video tasks. The model inherits the sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture of Qwen3.8-Next and extends the context window to one million tokens, supporting long-context multimodal reasoning and long-horizon planning. These advances enable integration into production workflows as a primary agent or a specialized sub-agent, supporting video editing, long-form audio and video translation, music-conditioned music video or movie generation, and video-based note or omni-skill creation. To address the lack of native audio and video support in existing agent harnesses, we release Qwen-MM-Plugins, a lightweight open-source plugin framework for multimodal productivity. We further frame real-time multimodal interaction as a system-level challenge requiring orchestration of context and memory management, tool use, and sub-agent delegation. Accordingly, we release Qwen-Live-Harness, an open-source framework for building responsive, real-time multimodal agents based on Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash achieves strong performance across multimodal understanding, reasoning, long-horizon agentic execution, and video productivity tasks. These results and the accompanying open-source tools support Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash as a practical foundation for deploying natively multimodal agents in research and production.

Qwen3.5-Omni Technical Report

In this work, we present Qwen3.5-Omni, the latest advancement in the Qwen-Omni model family. Representing a significant evolution over its predecessor, Qwen3.5-Omni scales to hundreds of billions of parameters and supports a 256k context length. By leveraging a massive dataset comprising heterogeneous text-vision pairs and over 100 million hours of audio-visual content, the model demonstrates robust omni-modality capabilities. Qwen3.5-Omni-plus achieves SOTA results across 215 audio and audio-visual understanding, reasoning, and interaction subtasks and benchmarks, surpassing Gemini-3.1 Pro in key audio tasks and matching it in comprehensive audio-visual understanding. Architecturally, Qwen3.5-Omni employs a Hybrid Attention Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework for both Thinker and Talker, enabling efficient long-sequence inference. The model facilitates sophisticated interaction, supporting over 10 hours of audio understanding and 400 seconds of 720P video (at 1 FPS). To address the inherent instability and unnaturalness in streaming speech synthesis, often caused by encoding efficiency discrepancies between text and speech tokenizers, we introduce ARIA. ARIA dynamically aligns text and speech units, significantly enhancing the stability and prosody of conversational speech with minimal latency impact. Furthermore, Qwen3.5-Omni expands linguistic boundaries, supporting multilingual understanding and speech generation across 10 languages with human-like emotional nuance. Finally, Qwen3.5-Omni exhibits superior audio-visual grounding capabilities, generating script-level structured captions with precise temporal synchronization and automated scene segmentation. Remarkably, we observed the emergence of a new capability in omnimodal models: directly performing coding based on audio-visual instructions, which we call Audio-Visual Vibe Coding.
