I'm using pi agent and love to try qwen models (hosted). What are the good options? The official provider doesn't include Alibaba. Is OpenRouter etc. fast enough?

(As a reference, DeepSeek v4 is severely throttled on these proxy services.)

I use pi + openrouter (with qwen3.6-max-preview) a lot. I never hit any stability or performance problems yet.

Good to know. Thanks!

i use opencode zen as a convenient pay-as-you-go way to try out all these new models. it doesn't have 3.7 yet, but at the rate they usually update it probably will tomorrow.

I couldn’t say how throttled it is, but it seems fine?
