Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Qwen for the week ending July 24, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview.
Category cover image prompt:
A majestic chrome and rainbow Qilin creature descending from a deep cosmic purple sky, its mane and tail flowing as multicolor sound-wave ribbons in hot magenta, acid yellow, turquoise and violet, a single starburst glowing on its forehead, glitter sparkle and lens flares around it, with the word QWEN arcing above in huge fat rounded 1970s funk letters filled with chrome and stacked multicolor drop shadows, square Afrofuturist psychedelic poster composition with generous negative space.

Here’s a quick AI-generated summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5, based on the headlines and excerpts accompanying this week’s links:
Qwen's cloud account said Qwen3.8 will go open-weight soon. It has 2.4 trillion parameters, and Qwen calls it second only to Fable 5 among leading frontier models.
Separately, Alibaba's Qwen team introduced Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS, a text-to-speech model with a real-time Flash version and a higher-quality Plus version. It adds inline tags like [whisper] and [laughs] to steer delivery. A Qwen Image 3.0 blog post also appeared, but only its title was supplied.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
