Alibaba's Qwen team has released their latest vision model, Qwen3-VL, which can run on personal hardware. We tested the 235-billion parameter cloud variant on a home server to evaluate its performance in real-world scenarios.
The model requires authentication via a unique URL generated by Ollama, and processing is handled on their servers. Note that local models are coming soon for those who prefer offline operation.
Qwen3-VL 235B is a remote cloud API model, not a local installation.
