qwen-chat-shell

Qwen chat shell in Emacs with Org Babel, inspired by chatgpt-shell. Qwen is the large-scale language model developed by Alibaba Cloud. You can find more information in this blog. Using Qwen is more convenient and cost-effective in China and it should behave better in the Chinese context.
