Hello everyone!

I have some exciting news to share. At the break of dawn today, Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen officially open-sourced its latest AI programming large model, Qwen3-Coder.

Judging by its name alone, it's evident that this newly open-sourced model boasts exceptional programming capabilities.

According to reports, Qwen3-Coder, the newly open-sourced Tongyi Qianwen AI programming model, has topped global open-source model rankings, surpassing closed-source models like GPT4.1 and rivaling the world's most powerful programming model, Claude4.

As someone who has always harbored a dream of programming, I couldn't resist the urge to try out Alibaba's powerful open-source programming model, Qwen3-Coder.

Without further ado, I navigated to the Alibaba Cloud official website and clicked on 'Large Models.' Tongyi Qianwen 3 sported a prominent 'new' badge, signaling recent updates. I quickly clicked through to explore.

Upon entering the page, I noticed that Qwen3-Coder is available in multiple sizes. Today, the most powerful version, Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct model, is being open-sourced first. Qwen3-Coder is an MoE model with 480B parameters, activating 35B parameters, natively supporting 256K contexts, and extendable to 1M length via YaRN.

Additionally, Qwen3-Coder was pre-trained on 7.5T of data with a 70% code ratio and underwent reinforcement learning for programming and agent tasks during post-training, significantly enhancing its general, coding, and agent capabilities.

Enough talk, let's dive into its impressive features!

Simply click 'Experience Now' to get started.

You'll be directed to the model experience window. Please note: Experiencing the model consumes tokens, and the cost is based on actual usage (excluding the model deployment-computing time billing model).

At this point, I was unsure what small project to create. After some thought, I decided to have it generate a cute fruit matching game to play during work breaks, allowing me to 'enjoy' some downtime.

Here we go. I entered my request: 'Generate a cute fruit matching game for work breaks. It should have 100 levels, be playable in a web browser, and savable locally.'

After inputting my request, the large model responded swiftly. I was about to take a screenshot to see how long it would take, but the code was already generated in less than a minute. Look at the timestamp in the bottom right corner of the image below.

We copied the code into a notepad, but when saving, we changed the file extension to .html to open and run it.

By double-clicking to open the matching game, I successfully created a game that took just 1 minute to develop. As shown below:

After playing the game, I found it strikingly similar to the matching games I played in school, which was quite a pleasant surprise!

I never expected to generate a small game according to my needs and ideas in such a short time. It's incredibly powerful, and with 100 levels, I can enjoy some downtime for a while.

Moreover, if you dislike this style or want to switch to a matching game with small animals, you can continue to ask questions and let Qwen3-Coder refine your creative ideas.

Qwen3-Coder's emergence significantly lowers the threshold for AI programming, allowing even coding novices like me to create a small game with just a simple request. It transforms complex programming functions into reality.

Of course, using such a powerful AI model solely for downtime would be a waste. With Qwen3-Coder, we can also develop web pages, office assistance tools, making our work more efficient and intelligent.

An open-source Qwen3-Coder is poised to replace the expensive Claude and become the most popular programming model globally.

With Qwen3-Coder, a junior programmer (with two years of experience) can complete a senior programmer's month's work within a week and create a cool interactive website in just 5 minutes.

It seems I still need to work harder to generate something more valuable. Everyone should truly experience this programming model to validate and realize their creative ideas.

Currently, Qwen3-Coder is open-sourced on platforms like ModelScope and HuggingFace, and developers worldwide can download and use it for free. To facilitate better usage, the Tongyi team has also open-sourced a command-line tool, Qwen Code, which fully leverages Qwen3-Coder's potential in agent-based programming. Additionally, Qwen3-Coder's API can be used in conjunction with tools like Claude Code and Cline.

What are you waiting for? Head over to the Alibaba Cloud Large Models section to experience this newly open-sourced programming large model, Qwen3-Coder.
