QwenPaw

AgentScope

QwenPaw is a self-hosted personal assistant from the AgentScope team. It connects to multiple chat channels, supports MCP tools and plugins, keeps persistent memory across conversations, and offers a terminal UI alongside a desktop application. It installs from PyPI, a shell script, Docker, or a hosted deployment on Alibaba Cloud, the AgentScope platform or ModelScope.

Apache-2.0, an OSI licence, with the full source public and the shipped code in this repository. The LICENSE body was read in full and compared word by word against the canonical Apache-2.0 template: one differing region in the entire terms section, an inserted definite article before 'Licensor' in the contribution definition, which changes no grant or condition. The file is shorter than the canonical template only because the appendix instructions are replaced by the filled-in copyright notice. No enterprise or ee path in the repository root and no paid tier described in the readme; the hosted agentscope platform and modelscope deployment options are free routes to run this same code.

    LICENSE body, read in full and diffed against the canonical Apache-2.0 text. All nine numbered sections are present and the terms section matches word for word except for one inserted 'the' before 'Licensor' in the definition of Contribution. After END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS the file carries the filled-in boilerplate notice for the QwenPaw Authors rather than the canonical appendix instructions, which is why it is shorter than the template. No appended condition and nothing removed.

  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/agentscope-ai/QwenPaw/main/README.md recorded 2026-08-31

    README, read for the distribution and gating question: it documents seven install and deployment routes for the same code - pip, script, Docker, Alibaba Cloud ECS, the AgentScope platform, ModelScope and a desktop build - and names no enterprise, paid or licence-gated build.

Adoption

2 high confidence
2.0

Banded on the authoritative PyPI route: 31,736 downloads in the last 30 days for the qwenpaw package, which places it at level 2. The repository carries 34,740 stars, which would band higher, but stars rank below every real usage signal and the routing table forbids falling through to a weaker instrument when an authoritative one exists.

Capability

4 medium confidence
4.0

Scored 4 alongside anythingllm and open-webui: an extensible platform with tools, plugins and memory rather than a front end over a model endpoint, which is what places jan and sillytavern at 3. It does not reach librechat at 5, which adds multi-user authentication and a broader native provider matrix.
