Tongyi Qianwen 通義千問

Alibaba Qwen's consumer chat with image and audio inputs

ChatFreemiumLLM-drafted

Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.

Tongyi Qianwen is the consumer-facing chat front end for Alibaba's Qwen model family. Supports text, image, audio and document inputs, plus image generation via Tongyi Wanxiang. Free tier is generous for mainland China users.

Editor's verdict

Best mainland-China consumer chat if you live in the Alibaba ecosystem (Taobao / DingTalk / Aliyun). Qwen models are genuinely strong on Chinese reasoning. The downside: UI gets cluttered with cross-promo to Aliyun services, and content review is stricter than DeepSeek.
