Flagship Duet Qwen 3.7 Plus and Qwen 3.7 Max Already on the Platform

Alibaba's Qwen model lineup has made a massive leap with the release of two next-generation flagship models: Qwen 3.7 Plus and Qwen 3.7 Max. Both models boast an impressive 1-million-token context window and are capable of running autonomously (as agents) for up to 35 hours.

At the VEGA aggregator, we have already tested both of the new arrivals. Here is a brief and practical overview of the differences and how to choose the right model for your tasks.

What is the key difference?

Qwen 3.7 Max is an uncompromising text perfectionist. The model is fine-tuned for deep textual reasoning, complex coding, and building long logical chains.

Qwen 3.7 Plus is a multimodal all-rounder "with eyes". Taking the powerful text foundation of Max, the Plus model gains full visual capabilities. Plus perfectly recognizes images, analyzes video, and can interact with user interfaces (GUIs)—for instance, detecting precise coordinates to click on a screenshot.

Comparison of capabilities in real-world tasks

The developers tested the models on demanding benchmarks, yielding very interesting results:

Coding (SWE-Bench Pro): A tie. Qwen 3.7 Plus scores ~60%, while Max scores 60.6%. Having visual capabilities did not degrade the coding skills of Plus; both models write code on par with leading Western AI flagships.

Working with console and terminal: Plus wins. In system management tests via command line (Terminal-Bench), Plus unexpectedly outperformed the larger model (70.3 vs. 69.7).

Text generation speed: Max wins. During a "cold start" for text queries, Max answers 7–15% faster. If instant response in text chat is important to you, this is its strong suit.

Interface understanding (ScreenSpot Pro): Plus only. Max is text-only and powerless here, whereas Plus delivers top-tier results.

Which one should you choose?

To make it simple, guide your choice by the type of task you have:

Choose Qwen 3.7 Plus if:

You need to recognize documents, receipts, scans, tables, or charts.

You work with video or screenshots of user interfaces.

You need a reliable AI agent for routine workflows (Plus performs exceptionally well in autonomy tests).

Choose Qwen 3.7 Max if:

Your task is purely textual, dry analytics, or clean coding.

Maximum speed of first token generation (minimum chat latency) is critical for you.
