[Feature]: Add Qwen 3.6 Flash and current Gemini Live model #102751

Description

@steipete

Summary

Add first-class Qwen 3.6 Flash catalog support and move Google realtime voice to Gemini 3.1 Flash Live Preview.

Problem to solve

OpenClaw's Qwen catalog omits qwen3.6-flash, so users cannot select the current low-cost Flash model through normal onboarding and model-picker flows. Google realtime voice still defaults to gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-12-2025, while the provider manifest already identifies gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview as the replacement for retired Gemini Live models.

Proposed solution

  • Add qwen3.6-flash to the Qwen-owned model catalog with current official capabilities and limits.
  • Change the Google realtime voice default to gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview.
  • Update provider docs and focused tests for both surfaces.
  • Prove both routes with live provider calls when credentials are available.

Alternatives considered

Users can manually define the Qwen model and override the Google realtime model in config, but that leaves onboarding, picker metadata, defaults, and documentation stale. Generic aliases would also weaken reproducibility compared with the providers' current stable or named preview IDs.

Impact

Affected: Qwen Standard API users and Google realtime voice users.

Severity: Medium. Qwen users miss a current cost-efficient model in normal selection flows; Google realtime users inherit an obsolete default.

Frequency: Every fresh setup or defaulted realtime voice session on these routes.

Consequence: Manual configuration, failed or deprecated model calls, and avoidable setup friction.

Evidence/examples

Additional information

Perplexity is intentionally out of scope.
