Qwen3-Coder is Actually Amazing: We Confirmed this with NetMind API at Cursor Agent Mode

Qwen3-Coder, released by Alibaba on July 22, 2025, is a coding-focused agentic LLM designed to plan, iterate, and execute complex development tasks. Integrated via the NetMind API into Cursor’s Agent mode, it demonstrated its capabilities by solo-building a playable 2D platformer game in the style of Super Mario—within seconds.

Key Ideas

Qwen3-Coder integrates easily into Cursor IDE via NetMind’s OpenAI-compatible endpoint, allowing developers to use it as a custom agent.
The model planned and executed a full game build using Pygame, generating project structure, dependencies, and documentation, resulting in a smooth, bug-free Mario-style game.
NetMind pricing is highly competitive at $2 per million tokens, offering a cost-effective alternative to GPT-4 and Claude for agentic coding tasks.

Why It Matters?

Qwen3-Coder is perfect for tool to rapidly prototype games, refactor codebases, or automate development workflows. By integrating it into Cursor via NetMind, they gain access to structured, agentic coding support at a fraction of the cost of other flagship models. Qwen3-Coder’s ability to autonomously plan and execute coding tasks can streamline development cycles, reduce reliance on manual labor, and unlock new efficiencies in software delivery pipelines.
