Claude Code & Qwen Integration
Users are impressed with Claude Code's performance when used with the Qwen model, particularly for tasks like medical imaging and creating web interfaces, leading some to believe Chinese AI companies are gaining a competitive edge.
I’ve been working with Claude Code to build an AI powered DICOM viewer using Qwen. It is one of the leading models for medical imaging analysis. Really impressive so far. Only downside is size: the app would be 3–7 GB depending on the model. https://t.co/nG4oOhSCA7
Small steps for mankind, but big steps for me. I got Claude Code to run on Nvidia Spark using Qwen3 Next. Will post detailed video and what it can do tomorrow.
This isn’t just me tinkering. You’re seeing new version of this every day. @tobi saw the same thing with MRI results. Bad windows software. Claude Code just created a new web interface in minutes. The pattern: legacy software with bad UX…AI builds you a better one in
