Alibaba gives Qoder users a free daily allowance for mystery model Qoduck

Alibaba's coding platform Qoder added an anonymous model called Qoduck on November 7th, offering individual users a limited free daily allowance while Qoder's documentation calls Qoduck "a stealth model whose identity has yet to be disclosed."

The promotion gives Alibaba a way to evaluate a possible next-generation Qwen model on live coding workloads inside its own product, and the free Qoder access is usable by developers now.
