About

Alibaba's Qwen team ships one of the most active open-model ecosystems in AI, plus two agent harnesses supported on Brainbase: Qwen Code, the open-source coding agent, and Qoder, the vendor-native CLI.

Qwen Code speaks the OpenAI-compatible protocol, so it doubles as a universal harness — any platform-billed model can serve its turns. Qoder runs natively against Alibaba's own coding models with BYOK billing to your Alibaba Credits.
