How this price is scoped: Alibaba Model Studio International list price, single 0<Token≤256K tier, 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. Alibaba's own gateway endpoint quotes a lower routed rate of $0.39/$2.34. 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.

Percentile per $/Mtok 23

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.
