The new model previews, the Qwen3.7-Max-Preview and the Qwen3.7-Plus-Preview, ranked 13th globally in text capabilities and 16th in vision capabilities, respectively, benchmark firm LM Arena said on Tuesday.
Alibaba’s proprietary Qwen3.7 preview models come a month after the company launched its previous flagship Qwen3.6 series. The Chinese AI and e-commerce giant, which owns the South China Morning Post, has not revealed details of the upcoming Qwen3.7 series models, though it has teased the launch of a major new model at the Alibaba Cloud Summit in the eastern city of Hangzhou on Wednesday.
Tech companies often release preview versions of their next-generation models on Arena, which ranks models based on user preferences, in order to collect data to optimise for the final iteration.
The company kept its previous Qwen3.6-Max and Qwen3.6-Plus models proprietary, which requires paid use through an API, or application programming interface.
