Qwen Code (open-source coding CLI)
Open-source terminal coding agent from the Qwen team, originally based on Google's Gemini CLI, built to drive Qwen3-Coder and other models.
Gives Qwen models a first-party agent harness (MCP, sub-agents, memory and skills, IDE and chat integrations). It was forked from Gemini CLI and stopped syncing upstream from its v0.1; shipped alongside Qwen3-Coder in July 2025.
