Qwen Code by Tongyi Qianwen offers 2000 free calls per day, more generous than Gemini
Alibaba Cloud's Tongyi Qianwen launches Qwen Code AI programming agent, offering mainland Chinese users 2000 free calls per day and overseas users 1000. The tool supports terminal command line operations, offering higher free quotas and a simpler installation process (just one command) compared to competitors like Google Gemini CLI. Alibaba Cloud aims to lower the barriers to using AI programming tools by removing token limits, simplifying installation steps, and providing GitHub developer resources, in order to capture market share, especially for this purpose.
