Qwen3.6-Plus - An Agent programming model launched by Alitongyi

What is Qwen3.6-Plus?

Qwen3.6-Plus is an Agent programming model launched by Alibaba Tongyi Labs, focusing on a leap forward in the capabilities of coding intelligent agents. The model supports ultra-long contexts of up to 1 million tokens by default and leads domestic models of the same size in code repair and terminal automation benchmark tests such as SWE-bench and Terminal-Bench. The model simultaneously enhances multimodal understanding, document parsing, and video reasoning capabilities. It can be accessed through Alibaba Cloud's Bailian API, is compatible with OpenAI and Anthropic protocols, and supports mainstream programming assistants such as OpenClaw and Claude Code, providing developers with a high-performance AI coding experience at a cost-effective price.
