What We Build

Real Systems — Imagine What We Could Do With Qwen

These are live use cases we've already deployed. With Qwen's capabilities as the engine, we scale each one across the Caribbean and LATAM — making Blok Easy the Qwen showcase for the entire Americas.

Business Model

The Revenue Funnel

Blok Easy becomes Qwen's revenue-generating distribution partner — not a token sink. Every workshop attendee enters a structured pipeline from free user to enterprise contract.

🎓 Free Workshop → 🔬 Tinkering Wallet → 💳 Paid API → 🛠️ Services → 🏢 Enterprise
🎓

Free Workshops

100+ attendees/month

Monthly meetups with hands-on Qwen demos. Build brand awareness and community trust.

🔬

Tinkering Wallets

40% of attendees

Token grants for builders to create their first Qwen project. Low friction, high engagement.

💳

Paid API

10% of wallet holders

Graduated to paid Qwen API usage. Projected ~$5K MRR by Month 6.

🛠️

Services

$3–10K per engagement

Custom dev, fine-tuning, and consulting for Qwen implementations.

🏢

Enterprise Contracts

1–2 per quarter • $25K+

Government bodies and large companies. Long-term deployments and support.

Projected: If 10% of 100 attendees convert at $50/mo = $6K MRR by Month 6 — before enterprise deals.
Competitive Landscape

Why Qwen Wins in the Americas

Data-backed reasons why Qwen is the right model for LATAM and the Caribbean — not OpenAI, not Anthropic, not Google.

💰

9–11x Cost Advantage

ModelInput/MOutput/M
Qwen 3.6-Plus$0.28$1.68
GPT-5.4$2.50$15.00
Claude Sonnet 4.6$3.00$15.00
GPT-5.4 mini$0.75$4.50

For startups and governments scaling AI in LATAM, cost is the difference between adoption and abandonment.

🌐

Bilingual + Multilingual DNA

Qwen3 supports 100+ languages natively — Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese out of the box.

Dedicated translation model (qwen-mt-plus) covers 92 languages. Real-time speech translation (qwen3-livetranslate-flash-realtime) handles 18 languages live.

No other AI provider has a dedicated live translation model at this price point.

🔓

No Western Lock-in

LATAM governments are actively seeking technology sovereignty. Qwen offers a real alternative to US tech monopolies.

Hybrid architecture: Open-source Qwen3.5 runs locally for sensitive compliance and financial data. Cloud API handles workshops, demos, and public-facing tools. No other frontier model offers both.

🏗️

Alibaba Ecosystem

Not just a model — a complete infrastructure play. Cloud + Commerce (AliExpress/Alibaba.com) + Payments (Alipay).

Massive model portfolio: text, vision, audio, omni, code, translation, image gen, video gen, TTS, and ASR — all under one roof.

🌎 Qwen LATAM Alliance — Phase 2

Blok Easy proposes forming the Qwen LATAM Alliance — a coalition of startups, developers, and government bodies across the Americas committed to Qwen adoption, advocacy, and ecosystem building. Blok Easy serves as founding organizer and Alibaba's official distribution partner.

Strategic Governance

The Senator Move — May 20, 2026

On May 20, 2026, Blok Easy is hosting the "Legislative AI Summit" — an exclusive interview and technical workshop with Honorable Senator Ada Álvarez Conde of the Senate AI Commission at Piloto 151, Santurce. This is our moment to introduce Qwen to Puerto Rico's government and position it as the legislative AI standard.

Puerto Rico's government has not yet been introduced to Qwen — this Summit changes that. Our founder already uses Qwen daily for coding, content creation, data analysis, and business operations. With Alibaba's backing, we bring that proven capability to the island's legislative bodies.

Hon. Senator Ada Álvarez Conde at the Legislative AI Summit

Our goal: Introduce Qwen to Hon. Senator Ada Álvarez Conde and the Legislative AI Commission of Puerto Rico — positioning it as the model for public sector AI on the island.

The Proposal

Live interview + technical workshop with the Senator

🏛️

Position Qwen as the official AI standard for Puerto Rican legislative bodies

🎥 Alibaba Virtual Appearance

We'd love to connect an Alibaba Cloud representative via video call during the event — giving them direct visibility into the legislative AI conversation and a live audience of policymakers, technologists, and media. Blok Easy handles all logistics and tech setup.

🤝 Sponsorship Opportunity

We're offering Alibaba the chance to fully sponsor this event — becoming the official AI partner of Puerto Rico's legislative AI initiative. This includes co-branding across all channels, speaking placement, and permanent association with the island's AI governance framework.

🎯 Summit Demo Preview — What We'll Show

  • Live EN↔ES Translation — Using Qwen's dedicated qwen3-livetranslate-flash-realtime model. 18 languages, real-time speech-to-speech. Already proven with Gemini — now porting to Qwen.
  • Policy Document Analysis — Feed a real PR legislative bill into Qwen, get instant summary, impact analysis, and plain-language translation for constituents.
  • Education Policy Q&A — Live audience asks Qwen questions about education policy in Spanish, gets bilingual answers in real-time.

Translation tool already proven with Gemini — Qwen migration in progress. Ships before the Summit.

Physical Infrastructure

Blok Easy Lab — Powered by Qwen

More than a lab — a permanent AI coworking space where developers, founders, and companies come to build, learn, and grow. Located in the heart of Puerto Rico's business district.

The Space

A hacker-vibe coworking space at Bohiques, Hato Rey — steps from Tren Urbano, universities, and the financial district. Open daily with walk-in access for anyone building with AI. Low overhead, high energy, real output.

Developers get free Qwen API access through Tinkering Wallets. Companies get hands-on guidance adopting AI into their workflows. And everyone gets plugged into the fastest-growing AI community in the Caribbean.

The Lab also serves as a launchpad for attracting non-AI sponsors — co-working partners, hardware vendors, and local businesses — creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that extends well beyond Alibaba's initial investment.

💰 Monthly Operating Costs

📍 Rent + Utilities (incl. Internet) $1,000
📣 Social Media Marketing $500
🧑‍💼 Part-Time Lab Ambassador $1,500–2,000
🔧 Equipment + Supplies ~$500
Total Monthly $3,500–4,000

💻

AI Coworking

Desks, WiFi, and community for indie developers, startups, and remote workers building with AI.

🎓

Workshops On-Site

Weekly hands-on sessions — agentic workflows, Qwen APIs, prompt engineering, deployment patterns.

🏛️

Act 60 On-Ramp

Physical address, permits, and Qwen-powered compliance — everything companies need to establish an export entity.

🤝

Sponsor-Ready

Space for co-working partners, hardware vendors, and local businesses to co-sponsor and brand.

🏛️

Act 60 — 4% Export Service Tax Advantage

Think of it like Hainan or Shenzhen's SEZ — but for the Americas. In the US mainland, companies pay 21% corporate tax. Under Puerto Rico's Act 60, companies that export services (software, AI consulting, digital products) pay only 4%. Thousands of US tech companies are actively relocating. Every single one needs: a physical address, local compliance filings, bilingual regulatory correspondence, and ongoing monitoring. The Blok Easy Lab provides the infrastructure — and Qwen powers the compliance automation.

🤖 Qwen Compliance Liaison — Self-Hosted, Data-Sovereign

Every company that sets up at the Lab gets a self-hosted Qwen compliance agent running on local GPU infrastructure — handling regulatory document prep, bilingual government correspondence, tax filing automation, and operational compliance monitoring. Because Act 60 compliance involves sensitive financial and tax data, nothing leaves the building. Qwen's open-source models (Qwen3.5 series) make this possible — no other frontier AI provider offers self-hostable models at this capability level.

🏢 Company joins Lab → 📍 Gets PR address + permits → 🤖 Qwen agent deployed → 📋 Compliance automated → 💰 4% tax rate active
🔄 Sticky Adoption Each company needs Qwen running continuously for compliance — they can't churn without losing their liaison agent.
📈 Revenue Multiplier One Lab seat = continuous Qwen API consumption. Each company brings its own clients, data, and token usage.
🏗️ Hardware + Cloud Revenue Self-hosted compliance runs on local GPUs — an Alibaba Cloud hardware sales opportunity. Companies scale into cloud API for non-sensitive workloads (workshops, research, translation).
🔒 Unique Moat No other AI provider has a physical infrastructure + compliance AI pipeline in Puerto Rico. Alibaba owns this lane.

Legal and tax advisory provided in partnership with licensed PR CPAs and attorneys. Qwen handles document automation, not legal advice.
