I’ve been using Qwen for building a simple code and website generator, and it works really well for fast iterations. Great for prototyping and lightweight generation.
What needs improvement
I need more on the history pages, a section when we can re-edit the input/process/output with easy UX. Basically, better handling of edge cases without extra prompting
vs Alternatives
I choose Qwen because it’s fast, lightweight, and great for turning ideas into simple, working code or websites. It was also the first web-based tool I explored for code generation, which made it easy to start prototyping right away.
How accurate is Qwen3 on real coding tasks you tried?
Quite good, but still need some touch-up especially on the logic.
Does Qwen3-Coder reduce PR review time or defects?
I’ve been trying Qwen alongside GPT-4o, and honestly it feels great — it’s noticeably faster and cheaper, yet most of the time the answer quality is hard to tell apart. For quick everyday tasks, I barely notice any trade-offs, which makes it a super practical choice.
I chose the Qwen model as the default starting in version 1.2 because it delivers an ideal balance of speed, accuracy, and lightweight performance. It runs efficiently on-device, uses very little storage, and responds quickly even on less powerful hardware. This makes it a perfect fit for an offline AI assistant where reliability, low resource usage, and a smooth user experience are essential.
