Identity statement

Qwen: Qwen3 VL 30B A3B Instruct is Alibaba (Qwen)'s model. Its measured tokenizer sits with the Qwen group, which is evidence that it builds on the Qwen tokenizer. Tokenizer reuse is normal engineering, open vocabularies travel between labs, and this says nothing against Alibaba (Qwen)'s authorship of the model itself.
