Conflicts & caveats
- Trae's built-in model menu may not include Qwen 3 Max โ Trae primarily ships with Claude/GPT/Gemini/DeepSeek.
- Google Antigravity is built around Gemini 3 Pro; Claude and recent GPT-5 models also work, but Qwen 3 Max is not in the supported model list.
- Kiro's spec mode is tuned for Claude models โ Qwen 3 Max may work but spec-driven flows are best with Claude.
- Cursor's built-in model menu may not include Qwen 3 Max โ verify it's available in your Cursor model picker.
- OpenAI Codex (VS Code) is tied to OpenAI's GPT-5.1 Codex family โ Qwen 3 Max is not selectable inside this integration.
- Gemini CLI is locked to Google Gemini models โ your LLM is Qwen 3 Max.
- Privacy conflict: Self-hosted Qwen 3 Max sends code to cloud @codebase (Cursor). Use local context (Continue indexing, ChromaDB, LanceDB, pgvector, Vespa self-hosted) for true privacy.
- Claude Code only works with Claude models โ your LLM is Qwen 3 Max.
- Devin uses Cognition's proprietary model internally โ your selected Qwen 3 Max will be ignored.
- OpenAI Codex (Cloud) runs GPT-5.1 Codex internally โ your selected Qwen 3 Max will be ignored.
- Jules runs Gemini models internally โ your selected Qwen 3 Max will be ignored.
- The Claude Code SDK is tuned for Claude models โ Qwen 3 Max may work via the model adapter but loses Claude-specific features (thinking, prompt caching, sub-agents).
- Lovable uses a fixed internal model โ your selected Qwen 3 Max will be ignored.
- Replit Agent 3 uses its own model selection internally โ your selected Qwen 3 Max will be ignored.
