"Jack Dorsey is the founder of Twitter (now X), Square (now Block), and Bluesky (still blue). Back in July, he posted a fairly cryptic statement on X, saying "goose + qwen3-coder = wow". Also: I've tested free vs. paid AI coding tools - here's which one I'd actually use Since then, interest has grown in both Goose and Qwen3-coder. Goose, developed by Dorsey's company Block, is an open-source agent framework, similar to Claude Code. Qwen3-coder is a coding-centric large language model similar to Sonnet-4.5. Both are free."
"This is the first of three articles that will discuss the integration of Goose (the agent framework), Ollama (an LLM server), and Qwen3-coder (the LLM). In this article, I'll show you how to get everything working. In the next article, I'll give you a more in-depth understanding of the roles each of these three tools plays in the AI agent coding process. And then, finally, I'll attempt to use these tools to build a fully powered iPad app as an extension of the apps I've been building with Claude Code."
"Downloading the software You'll need to start by downloading both Goose and Ollama. You'll later download the Qwen3-coder model from within Ollama: I originally downloaded and installed Goose first. But I couldn't get it to talk to Ollama. Can you guess what I did wrong? Yep. I hadn't yet downloaded and set up Ollama."
Jack Dorsey posted "goose + qwen3-coder = wow". Goose is an open-source agent framework developed by Block. Qwen3-coder is a coding-centric large language model similar to Sonnet-4.5. Both tools are free. Combined use of Goose, Ollama, and Qwen3-coder could produce a free competitor to Claude Code, though accuracy and retry problems persist. The setup requires downloading Goose and Ollama, and the Qwen3-coder model is downloaded from within Ollama. Installation is supported on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Installing Goose before Ollama prevents communication; Ollama must be installed and configured first.
