Launch: Fine-Tune and Deploy Qwen2.5-VL Models with Roboflow

Qwen2.5-VL, released in January 2025, is the latest model in the Qwen-VL series designed for multimodal tasks such as vision question answering and OCR. Through a guide by James Gallagher, the process of fine-tuning and deploying the model using Roboflow is demonstrated, specifically for reading shipping palette manifests in an industrial inventory context. Users can leverage Roboflow to create multimodal projects, annotate datasets, and train models on custom data. The guide walks through creating dataset versions, configuring training jobs, and deploying the fine-tuned model using Roboflow Inference on compatible hardware, emphasizing the model's utility in extracting structured data and other applications.
