Alibaba introduces Qwen-Image-Edit, an image editing model built upon the 20B Qwen-Image model, extending text rendering capabilities to image editing for precise text editing, and using Qwen2.5-VL for visual semantic control and VAE Encoder for visual appearance control to enable both semantic and appearance editing.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://qwenlm.github.io/blog/qwen-image-edit/:

> We are excited to introduce Qwen-Image-Edit, the image editing version of Qwen-Image. Built upon our 20B Qwen-Image model, Qwen-Image-Edit successfully extends Qwen-Image’s unique text rendering capabilities to image editing tasks, enabling precise text editing. Furthermore, Qwen-Image-Edit simultaneously feeds the input image into Qwen2.5-VL (for visual semantic control) and the VAE Encoder (for visual appearance control), achieving capabilities in both semantic and appearance editing.
