Alibaba recently released the Tongyi Multimodal Pre-training Large Model Qwen3-Omni series. The key feature of this model is its ability to process multiple types of information such as audio, video, and text, comparable to human perception. This is not only a major advancement in AI technology, but also opens up more possibilities for future application scenarios.
According to reports, Qwen3-Omni achieved SOTA (State Of The Art) levels in 22 out of 36 audio and video benchmark tests, showing excellent performance, and even became a leader among open-source models in 32 tests. Especially in speech recognition and audio understanding, its capabilities have reached a level comparable to Google's Gemini 2.5-Pro. This undoubtedly lays a solid foundation for applications requiring high-quality audio processing.

The design concept of Qwen3-Omni is unique, as it started with multimodal mixed training of "listening," "speaking," and "writing," simulating a baby's comprehensive perception of the world. This training method combines unimodal and cross-modal data, allowing the model to excel in audio and video processing while maintaining stable performance in text and image processing. This is the first time in the industry that such a comprehensive training effect has been achieved, demonstrating Alibaba's foresight and innovation in AI technology.
In the future, Qwen3-Omni is expected to be widely applied in areas such as intelligent customer service, content creation, and voice interaction, providing users with smarter and more humanized services. As technology continues to advance, we can look forward to AI being more closely integrated into our lives, bringing us a more convenient experience.
Alibaba's innovation marks a new step in the development of multimodal AI, and also provides a new reference benchmark for global technology companies.
