A Hugging Face page for Qwen-Drive-1.0-4B has appeared, indicating Alibaba's Qwen team has released a 4B-parameter model aimed at driving scenarios. The model config includes a function-calling template and vision input tokens, suggesting it supports image inputs and tool calls, presumably for autonomous driving or driver-assistance tasks. The release was not widely reported before, and the poster reacted with surprise: "it drives now?"
