Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba’s famously prolific Qwen Team of AI model researchers and engineers has introduced a major expansion to its Qwen Deep Research tool, which is available as an optional modality the user can activate on the web-based Qwen Chat (a competitor to ChatGPT).The update lets users generate not only comprehensive research reports with well-organized citations, but also interactive web pages and multi-speaker podcasts — all within 1-2 clicks.This functionality is part of a proprietary release, distinct from many of Qwen’s previous open-source model offerings. While the feature relies on the open-source models Qwen3-Coder, Qwen-Image, and Qwen3-TTS to power its core capabilities, the end-to-end experience — including research execution, web deployment, and audio generation — is hosted and operated by Qwen. This means users benefit from a managed, integrated workflow without needing to configure infrastructure. That said, developers with access to the open-source models could theoretically replicate similar functionality on private or commercial systems.The update was announced via the team’s official X account (@Alibaba_Qwen) today, October 21, 2025, stating:“Qwen Deep Research just got a major upgrade. It now creates not only the report, but also a live webpage and a podcast — powered by Qwen3-Coder, Qwen-Image, and Qwen3-TTS. Your insights, now visual and audible.”Multi-Format Research OutputThe core workflow begins with a user request inside the Qwen Chat interface. From there, Qwen collaborates by asking clarifying questions to shape the research scope, pulls data from the web and official sources, and analyzes or resolves any inconsistencies it finds — even generating custom code when needed.A demo video posted by Qwen on X walks through this process on Qwen Chat using the U.S. SaaS market as an example. In it, Qwen retrieves data from multiple industry sources, identifies discrepancies in market size estimates (e.g., $206 billion vs. $253
