Field	Value
source	VLMEvalKit
domain	Vision, API_Integration

Overview

QwenAPI provides a VLMEvalKit API adapter for Alibaba Qwen pure language models via DashScope.

Description

QwenAPI inherits from BaseAPI and uses the DashScope SDK to communicate with Alibaba's Qwen language model API. It is a text-only adapter (not vision) supporting models such as qwen-turbo, qwen-plus, qwen-max, and qwen-max-longcontext. The class provides configurable seed, temperature, and max token parameters, and authenticates via the DASHSCOPE_API_KEY environment variable.

Usage

Use this adapter when evaluating Qwen pure language models (not vision models) through the Alibaba DashScope API.
