On February 21, 2026, Ali QianWen officially announced the launch of its Qwen Coding Initiative, which aims to provide support for a wider range of models. This includes the newly introduced Qwen3.5-Plus and Qwen3-Coder-Next, as well as ensuring compatibility with AI tools such as QwenCode, ClaudeCode, and Cline. Notably, Qwen3.5-Plus boasts an impressive total of 397 billion parameters, with 17 billion of them being actively utilized. This configuration enables it to outperform the trillion-parameter Qwen3-Max in terms of performance. Moreover, it significantly reduces memory usage during deployment by 60% and greatly enhances inference efficiency. For new users, a special introductory offer is available: a subscription price of just 7.9 yuan for the first month, which includes a monthly quota of 90,000 requests.
