AI_RetryError: Failed after 4 attempts. Last error: Provider returned error (Qwen3 Coder 480B A35B Instruct (free) through OpenRouter) #2018
Description
It appears that CLI is unusable with Qwen3 Coder 480B A35B Instruct free model, through OpenRouter. Few call in the workflow, it always results in the following error:
"AI_RetryError: Failed after 4 attempts. Last error: Provider returned error".
This is not the case with other free models.

@OgnjenKop I think this is a provider issue, not sure what we can do about it on our end. I managed to talk to that model without issues here but I will say the free openrouter models are generally super heavily ratelimited and I wouldn't generally recommend them

@rekram1-node Interesting thing is that some other free, oss models are working with no issues. Deepseek R1T2 Chimera, for example.
Would it help if I try out qwen on other CLI tools to see how it performs there?

@OgnjenKop what I was getting at is this error is due to the provider of the model, not us, they must have had some outage

@OgnjenKop: you might also run into a known tool-calling problem with the (unpatched) qwen3-coder models:

I experienced a couple of problems: #1809

Closing since this was due to provider issue
