Qwen Code
by Alibaba Qwen
Runs an open-source coding agent in the terminal with subagents, agent teams, hooks, skills, plan mode and MCP, switchable across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and local models.
Skills
Agentic Coding Session
Edits code and runs multi-step repository tasks from a terminal UI with @file references, slash commands and git worktrees.
Subagents And Teams
Delegates work to subagents and agent teams running dynamic workflows, backed by auto-memory, auto-skills and lifecycle hooks.
Headless Batch Runs
Executes one-shot prompts without a UI for scripts, CI/CD and batch processing, with session management and sandboxed execution.
Multi-Protocol Model Switching
Switches between OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Qwen protocols at runtime, including third-party providers and local Ollama or vLLM.
Shared Daemon Sessions
Serves one agent session over HTTP and SSE via qwen serve, so IDE plugins, the desktop app and IM bots share a single agent.
