About

What Qwen3-Omni-Thinking is

Qwen3-Omni Overview Introduction Qwen3-Omni is the natively end-to-end multilingual omni-modal foundation models. It processes text, images, audio, and video, and delivers real-time streaming responses in both text and natural speech. We introduce several architectural upgrades to improve performance and efficiency. Key features: State-of-the-art across modalities: Early text-first pretraining and mixed multimodal training provide native multimodal support. While achieving strong audio and audio-video results, unimodal text and image performance does not regress. Reaches SOTA on 22 of 36 audio/video benchmarks and open-source SOTA on 32 of 36; ASR, audio understanding, and voice conversation performance is comparable to Gemini 2.5 Pro. Multilingual: Supports 119 text languages, 19 speech input languages, and 10 speech output languages. - Speech Input: English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, German, Russian, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Malay, Dutch, Indonesian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Arabic, Urdu. - Speech Output: English, Chinese, French, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean. Novel Architecture: MoE-based Thinker–Talker design with AuT pretraining for strong general representations, plus a multi-codebook design that drives latency to a minimum. Real-time Audio/Video Interaction: Low-latency streaming with natural turn-taking and immediate text or speech responses. Flexible Control: Customize behavior via system prompts for fine-grained control and easy adaptation. Detailed Audio Captioner: Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Captioner is now open source: a general-purpose, highly detailed, low-hallucination audio captioning model that fills a critical gap in the open-source community. Model Architecture Cookbooks for Usage Cases Qwen3-Omni supports a wide range of multimodal application scenarios, covering various domain tasks involving audio, image, video, and audio-visual modalities. Below are several cookbooks demonstrating the usage cases of Qwen3-Omni and these cookbooks include our actual execution logs. You can first follow the QuickStart guide to download the model and install the necessary inference environment dependencies, the

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys qwen3-omni-thinking for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (qwen3-omni-thinking below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
