The Qwen AI platform (千问 AI 平台) announced on October 11 that its Qwen-Image-2.1Pro and Turbo application programming interfaces (APIs) were available. Developers can use them to integrate image generation and editing into applications.

The platform states that API users do not need to deploy the models themselves or manage the inference environment. The identified workflow categories include design, e-commerce, and content creation.

The Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo model weights were released alongside the APIs. The supplied message does not announce a corresponding Pro-weight release or provide licensing terms, API prices, hardware requirements, latency figures, or quality benchmarks.
