Alibaba Cloud's 4th-generation multimodal AI assistant and foundation model lineup (Qwen4-Max, Qwen4-Plus, Qwen4-Flash & open-weight Qwen4-27B) with 1M context.
Covers every compute envelope from the multi-trillion-scale Qwen4-Max flagship and Qwen4-Plus/Flash APIs to the local PC-friendly Qwen4-27B open-weight checkpoint, plus qwen4-coder-plus and qwen4-omni-120b-think.
Pioneered in the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next architecture preview, combining ultra-lean active parameter routing (6B active out of 125B) with a 51B n-gram embedding layer that trades compute for instant memorized lookup.
Sizes the Qwen 4 generation at a full 1M-token context window across text, code, images, audio, and video for repository-wide coding and cross-document reasoning.
Trained via multi-cycle automated Recursive Self-Improvement across coding, math, and hardware EDA workflows—demonstrating 10,000+ autonomous tool calls in chip design and software engineering.

Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
Free / Open-sourceProvides state-of-the-art open-weight reasoning models and low-cost APIs, but with less emphasis on multimodal Alibaba ecosystem tools.
Provides robust developer tools and multimodal APIs, but relies on Google's closed Gemini models rather than open-weight alternatives.
