Qwen Code Makes qwen serve a Real Browser Agent

Qwen Code Makes qwen serve a Real Browser Agent

The most important thing Qwen Code shipped today is not a smarter model. It is a boring distribution decision: qwen serve can now serve the browser Web Shell itself. That sounds like plumbing because it is plumbing. But plumbing is where coding agents either become tools people can actually run

Qwen Code’s Latest Runtime Fixes Are About Making Agents Fail Less Stupidly

Qwen Code’s Latest Runtime Fixes Are About Making Agents Fail Less Stupidly

Qwen Code’s most useful work this week is not a model launch. It is plumbing. That sounds like faint praise until you remember that coding agents do not fail in production because the demo prompt was insufficiently cinematic; they fail because a pipe blocks, a context estimate lies, a

Running Qwen Behind Claude Code Is the Local-Agent Wedge Alibaba Should Care About

Running Qwen Behind Claude Code Is the Local-Agent Wedge Alibaba Should Care About

The interesting part of the latest Qwen/Claude Code field guide is not that someone made a local model answer coding prompts. That stopped being novel somewhere around the third weekend everybody spent compiling llama.cpp. The useful part is more specific: a refreshed GitHub Gist shows what it actually

Qwen Code 0.18 Preview Turns the Coding Agent Into a Runtime Contract

Qwen Code 0.18 Preview Turns the Coding Agent Into a Runtime Contract

Qwen Code 0.18 is easy to misread if you skim it like an ordinary CLI release. The shiny bit is /fork, a command that lets a user spin up a background agent from the current conversation. The more important bit is the shape of the release around it: Alibaba

Qwen Code’s June 8 Nightly Reverts Yesterday’s Agent Memory Win — and That Is the Point

Qwen Code’s June 8 Nightly Reverts Yesterday’s Agent Memory Win — and That Is the Point

Qwen Code’s June 8 nightly looks like a one-line rollback. That is exactly why it is worth reading. The new release, v0.17.1-nightly.20260608.aea34fa2c, reverts yesterday’s move to expose /remember, /forget, and /dream through ACP mode. In ordinary release-note accounting, that is negative progress: feature lands,

Qwen Code’s June 7 Nightly Makes Agent Memory Work Outside the Terminal

Qwen Code’s June 7 Nightly Makes Agent Memory Work Outside the Terminal

Qwen Code’s June 7 nightly is the kind of release that looks minor until you have ever tried to run a coding agent anywhere except the blessed local terminal. Three commits landed between the June 6 and June 7 nightlies. Only two are functional. But those two changes point

Qwen Code’s June 6 Nightly Makes Agent Observability the Main Feature

Qwen Code’s June 6 Nightly Makes Agent Observability the Main Feature

Qwen Code’s June 6 nightly is the kind of release that looks boring until you have actually tried to operate a coding agent across a real engineering team. There is no new model headline here. No benchmark table. No “agentic breakthrough.” Instead, Alibaba’s Qwen Code team shipped the

Qwen Code’s June 5 Nightly Turns Agent Installation Into a Supply-Chain Story

Qwen Code’s June 5 Nightly Turns Agent Installation Into a Supply-Chain Story

Qwen Code’s latest nightly is not trying to win the model-benchmark news cycle. Good. The more useful story is lower in the stack: Alibaba’s open terminal agent is hardening how it gets installed, updated, copied from, and wired into GitHub automation. That sounds like release-note compost until you

Qwen3.7-Plus Makes Alibaba’s Agent Bet Multimodal — and Less Open

Qwen3.7-Plus is not Alibaba rediscovering multimodal AI. It is Alibaba drawing a much cleaner product boundary: open-weight Qwen for builders who want control, proprietary Qwen for teams that want hosted agent capacity at an aggressively low price. That split is the story. The model’s image and video inputs

Qwen Code 0.17.1 Is the Boring Agent Release Teams Should Actually Test

Qwen Code 0.17.1 Is the Boring Agent Release Teams Should Actually Test

Qwen Code 0.17.1 is not trying to win the launch-news lottery. Good. The more useful story is that Alibaba’s open terminal coding agent is accumulating the runtime scar tissue that separates a demo agent from something a team can leave inside a real repository without flinching. The
