Alibaba released Qwen Code 1.0. A commenter notes that with Qoder and Qwen Work, Alibaba now runs three competing coding/developer products — a classic example of a tech giant's internal faction-building and wasted resources.
The quoted post adds that early feedback on Qwen4 Max Preview is poor, at least for front-end coding tasks.
