Qwen3.6 not available in QwenCode

[jxnding]

What happened?

Is this a bug? The fact that Qwen3.6 is available in OpenCode but not in your own QwenCode is embarrassing.

What did you expect to happen?

@jxnding Actually, the qwen3.6-plus model on Qwen Code is currently in internal testing at Alibaba. Please bear with us — once it’s officially launched, the coder-model will route to the latest qwen3.6-plus model.

[pomelo-nwu]

@jxnding Update: Yesterday we released a preview version on OpenRouter. You can configure it manually, or just ask Qwen:

“Help me add this model to OpenAI in ~/.qwen/settings.json. 
 {
        "id": "qwen/qwen3.6-plus-preview:free",
        "name": "qwen3.6-plus-preview (Open Router)",
        "envKey": "OPENROUTE_API_KEY",
        "baseUrl": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
        "generationConfig": {
          "timeout": 120000,
          "maxRetries": 3,
          "extra_body": {
            "enable_thinking": true
          }
        }
      }

Remind users to get their API key from the OpenRouter website.

Will Qwen 3.6 Plus be added to the Ali Code Plan in the future?
