How this price is scoped: Alibaba Model Studio International list price, the SKU's single 0<Token≤1M tier — unlike Qwen3.6-Flash and Qwen3.7-Flash this row is not tiered by request size. The row is labelled context-cache eligible but the table prints no cache rate for it, so cached input is left unset rather than assumed; unlike its Qwen3.7 predecessor it carries no 50% batch-inference label. A free quota of 1M tokens (90 days) applies in Singapore only and is a trial credit, not a list price.

Overview

Alibaba's current-generation cheap tier on Model Studio, and the first Qwen flash SKU priced as one flat rate across its whole context: $0.15/$0.47 per 1M tokens on any request up to 1M tokens, with no request-size tiers. That makes it more expensive than Qwen3.7-Flash on short prompts (which starts at $0.03/$0.13 below 32K) but cheaper on long ones (Qwen3.7-Flash bills $0.20/$0.80 in its 256K-1M tier). 1M-token context, text-only.
