WebWorld (8B, 14B, 32B)

Alibaba (Qwen) · 16 February 2026

Open web-simulator world model (8B, 14B, 32B) trained on 1M+ open-web interactions; training Qwen3-14B on its trajectories lifts WebArena by 9.2%.

A large-scale 'web world model' (8B, 14B and 32B checkpoints) used to train web agents inside simulation. Precursor to Qwen-AgentWorld (2026-06-22), which generalises the idea to many agent environments.
