Qwen Code is optimized for Qwen3-Coder, so when you are using this AI model, it is definitely worth looking at. Enjoy! Introduction There are many AI models and also many AI coding assistants. Which one to choose is a hard question. It also depends on whether you run the models locally or in the cloud. When running locally, Qwen3-Coder is a very good AI model to be used for programming tasks. In previous posts, DevoxxGenie , a JetBrains IDE plugin, was often used as an AI coding assistant. DevoxxGenie is nicely integrated within the JetBrains IDEs. But it is also a good thing to take a look at other AI coding assistants. And when you are using Qwen3-Coder, Qwen Code is an obvious choice.
