How this price is scoped: Alibaba Model Studio International list price, a single 0<Token≤1M tier, so the rate does not change with input size. The vendor's table prices the `qwen3.5-flash` alias and its dated snapshot (2026-02-23, which the alias currently resolves to) at identical rates. The row is labelled as eligible for a 50% batch-inference discount and a context-caching discount; both are billing modes a buyer opts into, so the standard real-time rate is the one tracked here. No standalone cached-input rate is printed, so cached input is left unset rather than assumed. Gateway resellers quote lower routed rates ($0.065/$0.26).

Benchmark performance

accuracy % · higher is better
Percentile vs all tracked models 26.8th1 independent measurement
Percentile per $/Mtok 148.9

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.
