Alibaba Group on Wednesday announced the launch of Qwen3-Coder, an open-source artificial intelligence model for software development. The Chinese e-commerce giant said it is its most advanced coding tool to date.
Qwen3-Coder is designed to solve software development tasks such as code generation and managing complex coding workflows, writes Reuters.
The company positions the model as particularly strong in “AI agent coding tasks” — automated processes where AI systems can work on programming tasks independently.
According to performance data released by Alibaba, Qwen3-Coder outperformed domestic competitors, including Moonshot AI's DeepSeek and K2 models, in key coding capabilities.
The company also said its model matches the performance of leading American models, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT-4 in certain areas.
Recall that in early July, Huawei was accused of stealing Alibaba's model — Qwen 2.5-14B.
