Recommended hardware

Use only the listed runtime configurations with the exact checkpoint precision. Hardware sizing considers resident pipeline memory, runtime overhead, input and output dimensions, batch size, and safety headroom.

Reference only

The official license permits commercial use; its obligations still apply.

License and self-hosting considerations

The exact pipeline and selected precision must fit on the chosen GPUs. Requirements vary with resolution, duration, batch size, modalities, and runtime; language-model KV-cache rules are not applied.

Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B is published under apache-2.0. The release-scoped official license link and verification date are retained with the catalogue record.

Commercial Use Allowed. The official license permits commercial use; its obligations still apply.
