Use AxForge with Qwen Code

Qwen Code is the Qwen team's coding agent for the terminal. It takes any OpenAI-compatible service from three environment variables, and it is at home on Qwen3.8 27B.

Set it up

1. Install Qwen Code

   npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code

2. Point it at AxForge

   export OPENAI_API_KEY="orx_live_your_key_here"
   export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.axforge.ai/v1
   export OPENAI_MODEL=qwen3.8-27b-nvfp4

   They last until you close this terminal. Start Qwen Code from the same one.

3. Tell it the model's size

   Qwen Code takes our model for a bigger Qwen and would count on a million tokens. Ours read 262,144 at once. Create ~/.qwen/settings.json (on Windows %USERPROFILE%\.qwen\settings.json):

   {
     "model": {
       "generationConfig": { "contextWindowSize": 262144 }
     }
   }

   With it, Qwen Code shortens a long session before it reaches our limit.

4. Start it in your project

   cd my-project
   qwen

   The box at the top says API Key | qwen3.8-27b-nvfp4: it runs on your AxForge key.

   

5. Give it a task

   Ask in plain words. It reads the file, edits it and shows the result. In its default Auto mode it approves safe steps itself and stops risky ones; Shift+Tab changes that.

   

The settings

Which model for what: qwen3.8-27b-nvfp4 is the everyday default and reads images, glm-5.3-flash thinks before it answers, mimo-v2.6-flash is the fastest.

Check that it works

The box at the top says API Key and your model, the footer says 262.1k Context, and a task gets done. The calls show in the console under API Keys → Recent calls within a minute.

When it does not work

Test a call says in one click whether a problem is your key, your balance or us.
