⬤ Alibaba Cloud, part of Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA), just dropped its newest AI image-editing model, Qwen-Image-Edit-2511, as open-source software. The update tackles a major headache in AI visual editing called "image drift"—basically when your edited picture ends up looking nothing like the original. The new version does a much better job keeping the source material intact while you're making changes.
⬤ One standout feature is multi-character consistency. The model can now handle images with multiple people or crowded scenes without turning everyone's faces into a blurry mess. Each person stays recognizable and distinct, which fixes a common problem where AI gets confused and blends facial details together when there's more than one subject in the frame.
⬤ The system also brings what they're calling geometric and structural intelligence. It can spot construction lines, perspective angles, and design elements, so when you make edits, the underlying structure of the image stays solid. Plus, there's built-in LoRA support, meaning you can use popular community models right away without jumping through extra hoops. These upgrades make Alibaba Cloud's AI editing tools noticeably sharper.
⬤ Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 shows Alibaba Cloud is serious about pushing open-source AI forward. By combining better character handling, structural awareness, and seamless LoRA integration, the model makes AI image editing more dependable for both creative projects and technical work across the BABA platform.
