Retired on . No longer served on the endpoint we price — the figures below are kept for historical reference only. Replaced by Qwen3.8-27B.
Availability: Groq's deprecations page lists qwen/qwen3.6-27b with a shutdown date of 2026-09-14 and names qwen/qwen3.8-27b as the replacement. It is gone from Groq's models page. Groq scopes the deprecation — "this deprecation applies to free and developer-tier usage; enterprise customers with a committed-spend contract are not affected" — so the model may still be served under a negotiated enterprise contract. The rate above is the public per-token price it last carried, which is the price this site tracks and one you can no longer buy at.

Price receipt

Historical price.This model is retired — withdrawn on — so the provider no longer sells it and its page can no longer confirm this number: a price for a model no longer on sale is unconfirmable by definition, not missing. The figures above are the last prices we recorded for this model, kept as a historical record rather than a live quote.
