Alibaba's new 20B-parameter Qwen-Image model solves AI's biggest image generation problem with perfect text rendering capabilities
After years of AI-generated images that look like someone threw Scrabble tiles at a wall, Qwen-Image has finally cracked the code. This new AI image generator from Alibaba doesn't just create stunning visuals—it actually gets the words right, perfectly rendering complex text in both Chinese and English. Available now through Qwen Chat, this 20-billion parameter model is already breaking benchmarks and making other AI tools look amateur.
Explore how 20 billion parameters create perfect text rendering
Let's be honest—we've all been there. You ask an AI to generate an image with text, and it comes back looking like alphabet soup had a collision with a random word generator. Shop signs that say "COFEFE," book titles that look like keyboard mashing, poster text that makes you question if the AI had a stroke mid-creation.
Qwen-Image changes everything. This isn't just another "we made prettier pictures" announcement. This is the first AI image generator that can actually handle text like a professional designer, supporting:
Chinese Text Mastery: Qwen-Image can create a full Miyazaki-style anime scene featuring shop signs that actually say what they're supposed to say—"云å˜å‚¨" (cloud storage), "云计算" (cloud computing), and "云模型" (cloud models). Every character is crisp, contextually correct, and beautifully integrated into the artistic scene.
English Precision: Generate a bookstore window display with perfect signage reading "New Arrivals This Week" and individual book covers displaying actual titles like "The Light Between Worlds" and "The Silent Patient"—no typos, no scrambled letters.
Bilingual Switching: Watch the AI seamlessly transition between languages mid-sentence, creating professional presentations that mix Chinese and English text naturally.
