Alibaba's Qoder launches stealth model Qoduck, free for individual users
hey_abusiddik · x · 2026-11-07
Qoder, Alibaba's agentic coding platform (from the makers of Qwen), has quietly shipped a "stealth model" called Qoduck, available free every day for individual users for a limited time.
Qoder offers the model across its desktop IDE, mobile app, JetBrains plugin, and CLI, with mobile agent monitoring and approval of critical actions. The company hasn't disclosed Qoduck's origins or its relation to the Qwen family — a typical anonymous-testing style release.
