Alibaba Cloud lists Qwen-Image 2.1 Pro for international API use

Alibaba Cloud's model-release log lists Qwen-Image-2.1-Pro for its international service on October 2. The entry combines image creation and editing, native transparency and up to ten reference images. Its stated 7-billion-parameter figure applies to the visual-generation component, not necessarily the entire system. This hosted availability event is separate from the September 20 open-weight research release, and does not establish new unrestricted weights or universal regional access.
