Qwen 3.6 Plus builds on a hybrid architecture that combines efficient linear attention with sparse mixture-of-experts routing, enabling strong scalability and high-performance inference. Compared to the 3.5 series, it delivers major gains in agentic coding, front-end development, and overall reasoning, with a significantly improved “vibe coding” experience. The model excels at complex tasks such as 3D scenes, games, and repository-level problem solving, achieving a 78.8 score on SWE-bench Verified. It represents a substantial leap in both pure-text and multimodal capabilities, performing at the level of leading state-of-the-art models.

Sample code and API for Qwen3.6 Plus (free)

OpenRouter normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.

OpenRouter supports reasoning-enabled models that can show their step-by-step thinking process. Use the reasoning parameter in your request to enable reasoning, and access the reasoning_details array in the response to see the model's internal reasoning before the final answer. When continuing a conversation, preserve the complete reasoning_details when passing messages back to the model so it can continue reasoning from where it left off. Learn more about reasoning tokens.

In the examples below, the OpenRouter-specific headers are optional. Setting them allows your app to appear on the OpenRouter leaderboards.
