What it is

Qwen Code is an AI coding agent you run inside a project directory to explain code, edit files, run commands, and handle multi-step tasks. It supports subagents, persistent memory, skills, and MCP servers, and can switch between Qwen, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local backends like Ollama and vLLM. Developers can also drive it from VS Code, Zed, JetBrains, a desktop app, a web UI, chat apps, headless scripts in CI, or SDKs for TypeScript, Python, and Java.
