Dynamic workflows, zero setup.\n- **Open-source, inside and out** \u2014 The framework and the Qwen models are open-source. They evolve together. No vendor lock-in.\n- **Multi-protocol** \u2014 Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Qwen APIs. Any third-party provider or local model (Ollama / vLLM). Switch at runtime.\n- **Beyond the terminal** \u2014 IDE plugins, Desktop app, daemon mode, SDKs, and IM bots (Telegram / DingTalk / WeChat / Feishu).\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e Qwen Code is actively iterating on itself \u2014 using its own agent and models to file issues, submit PRs, review code, and run tests. Powered by the community, driven by AI.\n\n## Inst",
