Alibaba Group Holding\u2019s artificial intelligence coding model Qwen 3 Coder has been gaining popularity globally amid intensified competition in the AI-assisted coding sector, according to data from a third-party agency.<\/p>\n
The model\u2019s usage share on AI marketplace OpenRouter soared to more than 20 per cent as of mid-August, trailing only Amazon.com-backed Anthropic\u2019s Claude Sonnet 4 with 31 per cent of usage.<\/p>\n
Alibaba\u2019s Qwen team released the Qwen 3 Coder on July 23, claiming it delivers top-tier AI coding performance on par with Anthropic\u2019s Claude Sonnet 4, citing various third-party benchmark tests. Claude Sonnet 4 is widely regarded as the industry\u2019s leading coding model. Alibaba owns the Post.<\/p>\n
Qwen 3 Coder\u2019s performance boost was due to expanded data sets that include a high portion of coding-related data for training, improved overall data quality and the use of large-scale reinforcement learning, according to the Qwen team.<\/p>\n
Alibaba\u2019s coding tool launched at a time when the AI-assisted coding sector was becoming increasingly crowded with more players entering the space.<\/p>\n
A slew of Chinese tech majors \u2013 from ByteDance to Tencent Holdings and Baidu \u2013 have all released AI coding tools to ride on the so-called vibe coding wave, which is the trend of using AI to help generate, complete and debug code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alibaba Group Holding\u2019s artificial intelligence coding model Qwen 3 Coder has been gaining popularity globally amid intensified competition…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":157509,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[691,91571,30521,24142,738,24442,24446,91572,91573,91575,91574,91576,252,51946,91577,91568,158,78939,91570,67,132,68,1677,91569],"class_list":{"0":"post-157508","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-ai-ide","10":"tag-alibaba","11":"tag-anthropic","12":"tag-artificial-intelligence","13":"tag-baidu","14":"tag-bytedance","15":"tag-claude-sonnet","16":"tag-codebuddy-ide","17":"tag-comate-ai-ide","18":"tag-jetbrains","19":"tag-lingma-ide","20":"tag-microsoft","21":"tag-openrouter","22":"tag-qwen-coder","23":"tag-qwen3","24":"tag-technology","25":"tag-tencent","26":"tag-trae","27":"tag-united-states","28":"tag-unitedstates","29":"tag-us","30":"tag-vibe-coding","31":"tag-vs-code"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115053562588124847","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
