I’ve finally visited @MiniMax_AI HQ.
Thanks @RenLeanna, @Ronny_MiniMax and Vincent for hosting me and for the deep dive on MiniMax Code and upcoming models.
MiniMax is cooking, be ready! 🤐
The energy level in this company is out of scale 🔥🔥🔥
Qwen introduces RecreationBench, a benchmark for Hybrid Computer-Use Agents with 250 application-recreation tasks across Ubuntu, macOS, Windows, Android, and Web, spanning domains such as productivity, development, graphics, multimedia, and science.
Unlike GUI-only or terminal-only benchmarks, agents must explore a running reference app, recreate it in code, and pass both programmatic tests and VLM-based visual evaluation.
The playground is ready. Let’s build!

This evening I'll have the honor of a real shanghainese meal with the mythical @wey_gu and other AI top players, including a person from StepFun!
Can't wait to try the cuisine and enjoy the AI dinner!
Shanghai: what a city!
X vs LinkedIn when you post an experimental branch of code:
X: “tested, amazing! I’ve fixed this and added that. We can improve this part too!”
LinkedIn: “how does it run on my PC?”
In response to the ZCode product security issues reported by the community, we have completed the necessary remediation and sincerely apologize to all our users.
We have open-sourced ZCode at placing the code under community scrutiny and making ZCode more open and transparent.
We sincerely thank the community developers who previously identified issues in ZCode. Going forward, we will establish an ongoing product security vulnerability reporting and response process. We welcome developers to continue reviewing ZCode and reporting potential issues, and we will provide rewards based on the severity of the issues reported.
With respect to the code data referenced by the community, we confirm that no such data is retained and that it has never been used for model training.
Following the remediation, we invited the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and NSFOCUS to conduct security assessments. The results are as follows:
Through its technical assessment, CAICT confirmed that the zcode-prod Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket is in a zero-data state. Security remediation has been completed in the ZCode v3.14.0 client. The Repo Wiki feature has been removed, and the workflow for generating and uploading local repository snapshots has been disabled.
NSFOCUS confirmed that all data objects in the zcode-prod Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket, as well as the bucket itself, have been deleted. Remediation has been completed in the ZCode v3.14.0 client. The Repo Wiki entry point and the associated generation workflow have been removed, and no functional path capable of triggering the generation of local repository snapshots or transmitting local files externally was identified.
Once again, we sincerely apologize and welcome continued scrutiny from the community. The full security assessment report will be released soon.
Meet Qwen-Image-2.1, the most balanced and cost-effective image generation model in the Qwen-Image series! Now open weights! 🎨
A unified model for both generation and editing, delivering top-tier quality in a lightweight package.
Highlights: 👀
- Compact & exceptionally fast: A lightweight 7B architecture that outperforms most closed-source models, with drastically accelerated inference for multi-image inputs.
- Native transparency: Natively generates and edits RGBA layers, enabling seamless compositing and text editing within transparent images.
- Versatile, high-fidelity editing: Supports up to 10 reference images and precise local control while preserving strict fidelity for portraits and products.
- Broad coverage & stunning aesthetics: Excels at panoramas, infographics, and virtual try-ons, delivering realistic textures and elegant typography.
Start to create your next masterpiece with Qwen-Image-2.1! 🖼️

Qwen-Image-2.1 supports a variety of editing tasks while balancing performance across them. For example, given a three-view character reference, the model generates a complete storyboard.
I had the pleasure of seeing Genesis 1.0 live in the Frame-X new office in Beijing and it's amazing seeing it in action and live 24/7 now!
Great job!!!
Meet Soo, our first AI host. She's live 24/7. No cuts, no loops.
She sees you wave, reads your gestures, and reacts like a person would.
She runs on Genesis 1.0, our new model for 24h+ real-time interactive video.
Come say hi 👇
Qwen-Image-2.1 experiments on Apple Silicon (M5 Max, MLX, bf16) with my custom MFLUX
1600×672 (2.39:1), fixed seed:
10 steps → ~26s
20 steps → ~44s
30 steps → ~61s
40 steps → ~79s
50 steps → ~97s
~1.78s per step + ~8s fixed (load, prompt encode, VAE decode) Peak memory: 31 GB
Prompt:
A city street bends upward at the horizon: the ground and its buildings curve up from street level and arc into the sky like a giant wave, one single continuous
landscape where skyscrapers grow progressively more vertical until they tower overhead, the road itself rising and wrapping up into the clouds. Dream physics
like a folded dream city: no mirror duplication, just one seamless city rolling from horizontal to vertical. Wet reflective asphalt, cool blue-grey palette with
warm window lights, glass and steel towers, low clouds threading between the rising districts, slight lens distortion, IMAX 70mm film look, cinematic wide-angle,
photorealistic, volumetric haze, epic impossible scale.
Today I had lunch in @Alibaba_Qwen HQ in Hangzhou! With @QwenDevs team we have talked about Qwen, Wan, Qwen Image and ModelScope! So much energy and passion 🚀
Be ready because there is a lot to come! 🤐
It was a pleasure meeting @HaaaaaaydenH in person after interacting on X since January!
