Qwen is never going to open source Qwen 3.7, aren't they?
Summary
After firing Junyang Lin, Qwen has locked down its large models and is no longer releasing open source models, while other Chinese AI labs continue to open source their latest models. Rumors suggest the small model team is gone and Qwen 3.6/3.7 may be the last open source models.
