Alibaba's Qoder Offers Free Qwen3.8-Flash Model and Daily Login Credits Through September
Alibaba's Qoder platform has announced that its Qwen3.8-Flash model is completely free to use from September 18 through September 30, deducting zero credits per invocation. Additionally, developers can claim 100 free daily Add-on Credits simply by logging into the desktop app. This promotion lowers the cost barrier for developers to test Qoder's agentic coding features alongside Alibaba's fast multimodal LLM. It highlights the growing competition among AI coding assistants aiming to expand their user base through free trials and daily rewards. During the event, Qwen3.8-Flash's billing multiplier drops from 0.1x to 0.0x, allowing users to save their standard quotas for other models. The daily 100-credit bonus is available across all subscription tiers (including free trials) and can be used across Qoder Desktop, IDE, JetBrains plugins, and CLI tools.
