How it works
The tool is open source and built on the Qwen family of models, which are known for strong coding ability and open weights. You can use Alibaba's hosted Qwen API, or run a local Qwen model, so you control both the model and the cost.
Qwen Code is free and open source; you pay only for the model API usage you choose, or nothing at all with a local model. It suits terminal-first developers who want a capable agent without a subscription.
