Alibaba launched Qoder to compete with Cursor

Alibaba launched Qoder. This is a platform that challenges Cursor and isn’t just another AI assistant. Link in description. This is a full-fledged ecosystem for intelligent development!

Imagine the possibilities. 2 code writing modes. In chat mode you communicate with AI in natural language. Ask to sketch an app draft, make changes, discuss architecture. No technical barriers, pure creativity!

But real magic happens in Quest Mode. AI becomes an autonomous agent that independently works with codebases according to detailed specifications. Imagine — you give a task, and the agent methodically executes it, marking completed items in to-do lists. Asks for help only when genuinely stuck. Complete transparency of actions!

Technical feature — intelligent model selection. Qoder automatically chooses between premium and basic models depending on task complexity. Cost is calculated per 1 million tokens through API provider.

Launch strategy impresses with generosity. Several weeks of completely free access to beta version. Then 2 weeks trial period with limitations on agent requests. Prices will be determined after alpha version launch — Alibaba clearly wants to conquer this market.

In principle, Qoder embodies the paradox of creative automation. Promising “pure creativity” through eliminating technical barriers. But aren’t we eliminating the very understanding of what we’re creating?
