Integrations · Qwen
Guild agents call Alibaba’s Qwen models through task.llm, using a credential for AWS Bedrock, OpenRouter, or Fireworks AI. Guild holds the credential server-side, checks your model policies on every call, and attributes spend to the workspace, agent, and user that made it.

Pick the provider that has your Qwen model
Qwen models reach Guild only through third-party inference providers, and each one carries a different set. Bedrock is the only provider with the default,qwen3-next-80b-a3b. OpenRouter serves the qwen/ namespace, and Fireworks AI serves the Qwen 3.8 models.
How it works
1
Add a credential
In Access & setup > Models & providers, click Add API key and choose AWS Bedrock, OpenRouter, or Fireworks AI. Check Alibaba under Models.
2
Write a model policy
Bind the credential’s Qwen access to the account, a workspace, or an agent, and list the models it may call, such as
qwen3-coder-*.3
Call it from task.llm
Name
"alibaba" in llmPreferences, or leave preferences out and let your policies choose. Guild resolves the credential at runtime.Every Qwen call goes through your policies
Agents never hold the key. Guild stores the credential server-side and shows only a masked value, so you can rotate it without touching agent code or the model policies bound to it. Policies are an allowlist: a workspace, agent, or installed agent can call a Qwen model only if a rule allows it. Set a daily token limit to cap spend, and see each call by workspace, agent, and user in Usage. A raw API key in an agent’s environment reaches every model the key can. A policy reaches only the models you name.About Qwen models on Guild
Inference providers
Qwen models are served only through third-party inference providers, not a Qwen API.
Write the canonical model name, such as
qwen3-next-80b-a3b, everywhere in Guild. Guild maps it to each provider’s own model ID.
Models
Guild prices and recognizes these Qwen model IDs. A policy or preference can also name any other model your credential can reach. Third-party providers route more models than this list, and their catalogs change; see each provider’s page for what it serves.Set up Qwen
Guild has no managed key for Qwen. To use Qwen models, add a credential for a provider that serves them. Adding your first credential switches the whole account to bring your own key (BYOK).1
Open Models & providers
Click Access & setup in the left nav, then Models & providers. In an organization, only admins can open it.
2
Add a credential
Click Add API key and choose an inference provider from the table above.
3
Enter the provider's secret
Give the credential a Name and paste your provider’s API key. AWS Bedrock asks for an IAM role and region instead.
4
Choose Alibaba
Under Models, check Alibaba. Keep
qwen3-next-80b-a3b as its default model or enter another from the list above. Then click Add Key. On Fireworks AI, pick a model from its list, because the pre-filled default isn’t available there.--models "qwen3-coder-*" limits a policy to matching models:
Use it from an agent
Agent code never names a credential. Guild resolves the call against the workspace owner’s settings. To ask for Qwen explicitly, put it inllmPreferences:
qwen3-coder-480b-a35b. The second falls back to the default model of the matching policy. Preferences are strict: if no credential or policy allows any of them, the call fails rather than using another publisher. See LLM preferences.
The
"alibaba" provider value needs @guildai/agents-sdk 0.7.6 or later.Frequently asked questions
Can I use Qwen with Guild's managed tokens?
Can I use Qwen with Guild's managed tokens?
No. Guild has no managed key for Qwen. Add a credential for a provider that serves it, which switches the account to bring your own key (BYOK).
Why is the provider value alibaba rather than qwen?
Why is the provider value alibaba rather than qwen?
Guild names publishers, not model families. The credential form lists Qwen under Alibaba, and
llmPreferences uses "alibaba", which needs @guildai/agents-sdk 0.7.6 or later.Does OpenRouter serve the default Qwen model?
Does OpenRouter serve the default Qwen model?
No. OpenRouter has no plain
qwen3-next-80b-a3b. Choose another default, such as qwen3-next-80b-a3b-instruct or qwen3-coder.Which Qwen models are on Fireworks AI?
Which Qwen models are on Fireworks AI?
Only
qwen3.8-max and qwen3.8-2.4t-a95b. Replace the pre-filled default with one of them before you save.Put a governed agent on Qwen this week
