Text generation models

Choose a model for AI agents, chatbots, document processing, and more.

Using OpenClaw or Claude Code?

qwen3.6-plus — strongest reasoning, full tool support, 1M context for large codebases. Coding Plan users can also choose kimi-k2.5, glm-5, or MiniMax-M2.5, all fine-tuned for agent workflows.

For other applications

Chatbots, content generation, summarization, document processing — start with qwen3.6-plus for strongest accuracy, 1M context, and the full feature set. Once your use case works well, try qwen3.5-flash to reduce cost — near-flagship quality with the same context and features.

Context window

1M tokens is roughly 750,000 words or 10 novels.
  • Long documents or large codebases → qwen3.6-plus / qwen3.5-flash (1M)
  • Standard tasks → 128k–256k is plenty

Thinking mode

Step-by-step reasoning for multi-step math, debugging, architecture planning, or legal cross-referencing. Toggle with enable_thinking. All Qwen3+ models support it — most are hybrid, so you can switch per request.

Function calling + built-in tools

Let the model take actions: check weather, query a database, book a meeting.
  • Function calling (you define tools, model calls them): all general-purpose models
  • Built-in tools (web search, code execution — no setup): qwen3.6-plus, qwen3.5-plus, qwen3.5-flash, qwen3-max only

Structured output

Get valid JSON back — e.g., extract names and dates from text. Qwen3.5, Qwen3, Qwen3-Coder, Qwen2.5, and legacy (Plus/Max/Flash/Turbo) — non-thinking mode.

Batch

Thousands of requests, latency not critical. Lowers cost per request. Legacy models only: qwen-plus, qwen-flash, qwen-turbo.
