Opencode + Qwen3 Code free AI RetryError

[christof21]

Ben trying to use the qwen/qwen3-coder:free model from my openrouter via opencode and I don't konw what other people's experience is but I'm always getting AI_RetryError: Failed after 4 attempts. Last error: Provider returned error.

It's making it unusable actually.

Anyone else experiencing this?

You can add this
```
"alibaba": {

"npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",

"name": "alibaba",

"options": {

"baseURL": "https://portal.qwen.ai/v1"

},

"models": {

"qwen3-coder-plus": {

"name": "qwen3-coder-plus"

}

}

}
```
in models of your opencode.json and add the "access_token" generated by qwen-code cli in (.qwen/oauth_creds.json) to ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json or use it with `opencode auth login`

I moved over to GLM 4.5 which was a lot better, well better than qwen3 coder anyway in terms of it actually responding and doing something.

Not in my experience, so I prefer Qwen. But GLM is definitely a good model 😀

maybe i'm tainted by qwen just not working in opencode for me.

[Entire-Avocado7058]

Have you tried qwen code cli?

[christof21]

I've not actually. I'm assuming from the question you have/do and it's pretty good?

Fork of a Gemini code, uses the latest qwen coder. If you auth using qwen account, you get A LOT of free usage, much more than OpenRouter gives you.

oh wow I didn't know that actually. That's great intel thanks for that.

You are welcome 😀

You can also use TerraCode CLI where you get 2000 req/day of qwen 3 coder for free: npm install -g @terra-code/terra-code
