How this price is scoped: Alibaba Model Studio International list price, one flat rate covering both Non-Thinking and Thinking modes, from the vendor's open-source Qwen table. No context-cache or batch rate is printed for this SKU, so cached input is left unset rather than assumed. The pricing page prints no context tier for this SKU; the 128K context is what Alibaba's own served endpoint reports. Alibaba's own gateway endpoint quotes a lower routed rate of $0.104/$0.416. Alibaba's pricing page states that it lists standard prices only and directs buyers to the Model Studio console for current offers, and this SKU's row carries no discount label, so the standard list rate is the one tracked here — the same basis as every other Alibaba row on this site.

Benchmark performance

accuracy % · higher is better
Percentile vs all tracked models 9.8th3 independent measurements
Percentile per $/Mtok 35

We hold no per-benchmark accuracy scores for this model yet, so it has no accuracy average. That is a gap in our coverage, not a sign the model is untested — independent evaluators often publish a composite index for a new model long before releasing its per-benchmark numbers. The percentile above is its standing across the independent composites below.
