🚀 Qwen3‑Coder + Qwen Code CLI: A Powerful Open Source Alternative to Claude for Developers

Alibaba just released Qwen3‑Coder, a 480B parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) code model — and it’s a game-changer.

🔹 Fully open-source (Apache 2.0)
🔹 Outperforms Claude Sonnet-4 on SWE-bench (69.6% vs 70.4%)
🔹 Supports 256K tokens out of the box (scalable to 1M)
🔹 Pairs seamlessly with the new Qwen Code CLI — a command-line coding assistant, forked from Gemini CLI
🔹 Great for code generation, debugging, and long-context reasoning
