Qwen just released a multimodal tool layer for AI agents.
it packages multimodal operations as tools that an agent running inside Claude Code, Codex, Qwen Code, Gemini CLI and other agent harnesses can discover, call, and chain together while doing a larger task.
The Github repo is actually a collection of separate plugins/capabilities.
e.g. the core plugin gives an agent tools such as read_image, read_video, visualize, OCR, object grounding, segmentation, speech transcription, cropping, etc.
