Binary: qwen-codeAliases: qwen, qwen_codeBest for fleet diversity

Good fit

Regional model diversity, alias normalization, and plugin-native dispatch.

​
Set up Qwen Code in Conductor

1

Install Qwen Code

2

Complete authentication or environment setup

Confirm the CLI runs correctly in the same shell context that will launch Conductor.
3

Launch Conductor

Update the workspace or project settings to make Qwen Code the default only where it belongs.
4

Configure the repo default

​
Model selection in Conductor

Qwen Code decides which Qwen-compatible models are available through its own local setup and provider configuration.
  • leave agentConfig.model unset when Qwen Code should follow its current default
  • add a pinned override only where a repository needs a fixed model target
  • document any repo-specific Qwen exceptions so regional or cost-policy drift stays visible

​
Why teams pick Qwen Code

  • expands fleet diversity
  • keeps alias handling explicit
  • useful for repos that should not share the same default agent as the rest of the stack
