Changes

To continuously enhance model performance and service experience, while optimizing underlying resource management, Model Studio will decommission the mainline models for the Beijing and Singapore regions listed below on July 13, 2026.

The specific decommissioning list and recommended replacement options are as follows:

The specific decommissioning list is as follows:

• qwen-max
• qwen-turbo
• qwen-vl-max
• qwen-vl-plus
• qwq-plus
• qvq-max

Recommended Alternatives：

We recommend replacing the soon-to-be-decommissioned models with the latest Qwen3.6 series models.

The Qwen3.6 series demonstrates exceptional performance comparable to current state-of-the-art frontier models, delivering significant overall improvements over the Qwen3.5 series and earlier historical versions. Specifically, the Qwen3.6-Plus model features notable enhancements in:

• Code development capabilities: Agentic Coding, front-end programming, Vibe Coding, and more;
• Visual understanding capabilities: Multi-modal universal recognition, high-precision OCR, fine-grained object localization, and more.

These upgrades are designed to provide you with a more stable and efficient inference experience.

❗️ Important Notice: Given that the Alibaba Cloud Bailian Platform will continue to rapidly iterate and release new, higher-performance models between the announcement date and the actual decommissioning date, the replacement recommendations outlined in this notice will not be frequently updated to reflect newly launched models. We kindly encourage you to stay tuned to the Alibaba Cloud Bailian Model Marketplace during your business migration and daily usage, so you can flexibly adopt the latest model versions best suited to your specific business scenarios.

Impact of the Change

After decommissioning, model inference will no longer be supported for these models. Applications and services that continue to call the decommissioned models will fail to return results.

If you are currently using any of the above models, please ensure that you complete the following before July 13, 2026:

• API endpoint migration: Update your integration to point to the recommended replacement models;
• Parameter tuning: Adjust inference parameters as needed for the new models;
• Business validation: Thoroughly test and verify your workflows to ensure expected performance.

Failure to complete these steps in time may impact the stability of your online services.
