The system integrates three open-source models: Qwen3-Coder for creating website structures, Qwen-Image for generating embedded graphics, and Qwen3-TTS for producing dynamic audio narration. Although the system is open-source, the entire process from analysis to content hosting is independently provided by Qwen AI, ensuring a complete user experience. This end-to-end integration is the core competitiveness of Qwen AI, allowing users to avoid switching between different tools or manually integrating output results.

The process starts with Qwen Chat, where users input research questions. The AI analyzes public resources, conducts searches, and generates a report with verifiable citations. This initial report already possesses a high academic value, containing detailed references and source tracing. Then, two main options will appear: “Web Dev” and “Podcast.”

The Web Dev option automatically creates a fully functional and visually professional webpage. This is not just a simple text-to-HTML conversion, but a complete website that includes typography design, chart embedding, and responsive layout. Qwen3-Coder is responsible for generating clean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code, while Qwen-Image automatically generates relevant visual charts and illustrations based on the content. The final output webpage can be published directly without any manual editing.

The podcast options are even more amazing. It converts content into audio programs, accommodating up to 17 hosts and 7 co-hosts. The voice generated by Qwen3-TTS is not a mechanical text-to-speech, but a human-like voice with natural intonation, appropriate pauses, and emotional variations. The system automatically rewrites the report content into a dialogue format, assigning different host roles to simulate expert discussion scenarios. This multi-host design makes the podcast content more dynamic and listenable.

Qwen AI Workflow:

Step 1: Enter the research question in Qwen Chat

Step 2: AI analyzes public resources, performs searches, and generates verifiable citation reports.

Step 3: Choose “Web Dev” to generate a professional webpage, or select “Podcast” to create an audio program.

Step 4: Automatic custody and release, no additional setup required.

From a technical perspective, this multi-model fusion requires precise coordination. The code generated by Qwen3-Coder must be able to correctly embed the images generated by Qwen-Image while maintaining responsive design. The audio generated by Qwen3-TTS must be accurately synchronized with the text content, and the voices of different hosts must have distinct differences yet remain coordinated and unified. Alibaba's ability to seamlessly integrate these three models demonstrates its strong capabilities in AI system engineering.

Academic citation depth far surpasses, ChatGPT's professionalism is lacking

In tests involving complex inquiries such as analyzing philosophical and scientific arguments regarding the existence of God, Qwen AI surpasses its competitors in both depth and accuracy. References include works by academic writers such as Bertrand Russell, as well as debates between William Lane Craig and Peter Atkins, which further corroborate the tool's focus on serious, well-reasoned research.

This academic rigor is the key difference between Qwen AI and other AI assistants. Although ChatGPT is powerful, it often provides more general answers when dealing with issues that require depth in citation and academic standards, lacking specific literature sources. Google AI has made improvements in citation, but the depth of covered academic resources is still not as comprehensive as Qwen AI. DeepSeek, as a model developed in China, has advantages in Chinese academic resources, but there is still a gap in coverage of Western academic literature.

Qwen AI is capable of citing the works of Bertrand Russell, demonstrating that its training data includes a vast amount of classic philosophical literature. Russell was one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century, and his writings are profound and highly specialized. The AI's ability to accurately quote and understand the context of his viewpoints shows that Qwen AI not only memorizes the text but also comprehends the deeper meanings of the content.

The debate between Craig and Atkins is a classic case in the fields of theology and philosophy of science. Qwen AI is able to naturally reference this debate when discussing arguments for the existence of God, demonstrating its ability to integrate interdisciplinary knowledge. This capability is extremely valuable for academic researchers, students, and content creators, as it can quickly find relevant authoritative sources, saving a significant amount of literature search time.

Compared to Google AI, ChatGPT, and Grok, Qwen AI excels in the clarity and quality of its responses, especially in its ability to generate interactive pages that include links, graphics, and publishable structures. This multimodal output is a feature that other AI assistants have not yet fully realized. ChatGPT can generate code, but it requires users to run and debug it manually. Google AI can generate images, but the integration with text is not high. Qwen AI seamlessly integrates these capabilities, delivering a ready-to-use complete product.

17 host podcaster generated, audio performance is realistic and shocking

The audio performance is also impressive, offering natural intonations and variations in speech that simulate real conversations among experts. The voice generated by Qwen3-TTS is not a mechanical text-to-speech output, but rather a human-like voice with emotions, emphasis, and rhythmic changes. This quality approaches that of professional voice actors, far surpassing traditional TTS systems.

The design that accommodates up to 17 hosts and 7 co-hosts is truly astonishing. This means that Qwen AI can generate a roundtable discussion or debate show involving multiple participants. The system automatically assigns roles based on the content, such as the host guiding the topic, Expert A presenting viewpoints, Expert B rebutting, and the co-host adding details. This multi-role design makes podcast content more layered and listenable, avoiding the monotony of a single voice.

For podcast creators, this is a revolutionary tool. Traditional podcast production requires recording equipment, audio editing software, and a significant amount of post-production time. Qwen AI compresses this process down to a few minutes, from researching topics to generating a complete podcast, the entire process can take less than 10 minutes. While AI-generated podcasts may lack the personal charm and spontaneous wit of human hosts, they are impeccable in terms of clarity and efficiency of information delivery.

For researchers, content creators, and educators, Alibaba's solution is an automated production tool that significantly reduces the time between data collection and information dissemination. Qwen Depth Research combines academic accuracy with multimedia capabilities, redefining the use of artificial intelligence in communication and research applications by 2025.

Qwen AI's free strategy is a key weapon in its challenge against paid giants like ChatGPT. ChatGPT Plus has a monthly fee of $20, Claude Pro has a monthly fee of $20, while Qwen AI's core features are completely free. This pricing strategy allows it to quickly accumulate a user base, especially in price-sensitive markets like Asia, Latin America, and Africa. When features are comparable or even surpassing, the allure of free is irresistible.

Alibaba is able to provide free services in part due to its massive cloud computing infrastructure. As one of the largest cloud service providers in China, Alibaba Cloud can run AI models at very low costs. Moreover, Alibaba views Qwen AI as a strategic investment rather than a short-term profit project, aiming to establish influence in the global AI field rather than immediate monetization.

Open-source strategy is also an important feature of Qwen AI. Qwen3-Coder, Qwen-Image, and Qwen3-TTS are all open-source models that developers can use, modify, and deploy freely. This openness has attracted the participation of a global developer community, accelerating the improvement of the models and the expansion of application scenarios. In contrast, the underlying models of ChatGPT and Claude are closed-source, and developers can only use them through APIs, lacking the flexibility for deep customization.

From a competitive strategy perspective, Qwen AI adopts a “rural encirclement of cities” approach. It does not directly compete with ChatGPT in the consumer chatbot market but focuses on professional use cases: academic research, content creation, and education training. These fields have higher demands for citation accuracy, multimodal output, and automated processes, which are precisely the advantages of Qwen AI. Once it establishes a good reputation in the professional market, expanding to the mass market will be much easier.

From a geopolitical perspective, the rise of Qwen AI also reflects a new stage in the Sino-U.S. AI competition. American companies have long been leading in the field of AI, but Chinese companies are quickly catching up. Tech giants like Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent are heavily investing in AI research and development. Qwen AI surpasses Western competitors in certain functionalities, demonstrating that Chinese AI technology has reached a world-class level, which is of great significance to the global AI landscape.

For users, the emergence of Qwen AI offers more choices. Different AI assistants have their advantages in various tasks: ChatGPT excels in creative writing and conversation, Claude has an edge in complex reasoning and code generation, DeepSeek stands out in financial analysis and data processing, while Qwen AI leads in academic research and multimedia content generation. Users can choose the most suitable tool based on specific needs without being locked into a single platform.
