Qwen 3.6 Plus from Alibaba is now available on [Vercel AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway).

Compared to Qwen 3.5 Plus, this model adds stronger agentic coding capabilities, from frontend development to repository-level problem solving, along with improved multimodal perception and reasoning. It features a 1M context window and improved performance on tool-calling, long-horizon planning, and multilingual tasks.

To use Qwen 3.6 Plus, set model to `qwen/qwen3.6-plus` in the [AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev/).

```typescript
import { streamText } from 'ai';
const result = streamText({
  model: 'alibaba/qwen3.6-plus',
  prompt:
    `Refactor this module to separate concerns, update
     the imports across the repo, and verify nothing breaks
     with the existing test suite.`,
});
```
