Calibrated · measured on the vendor's tokenizer · 2026-06-10 Auto-counts as you type

Counts use a chars-per-token calibration measured on the vendor's own published tokenizer (Qwen/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, 2026-06-10). English prose is typically within a few percent; code and non-Latin scripts tokenize heavier. For billing-exact counts use the vendor's count-tokens API.

Frequently asked.

Short answers for teams evaluating Qwen3.6 Max Preview against other Qwen tiers.

Q · 01 What is the Qwen3.6 Max Preview input price? +
Alibaba lists CNY 9.742/M input in the Singapore/International row. AI//COST converts that to $1.44/M using 1 CNY = $0.14788 from Frankfurter's latest available 2026-06-12 rate.
Q · 02 What is the Qwen3.6 Max Preview output price? +
The base International output row is CNY 58.455/M, shown here as $8.64/M. Long-context output is higher at CNY 89.93/M, or $13.3/M.
Q · 03 Does Alibaba list exact cache pricing? +
No exact prompt-cache token price is itemized for this row, so the calculator keeps cache disabled instead of inventing a discount.
Q · 04 Why use International pricing? +
AI//COST uses Alibaba's Singapore/International row for non-mainland deployment. Mainland and other regional rows can differ, so the source URL is preserved for invoice audits.
Q · 05 Is this a text LLM page? +
Yes. This page covers the text/code API model. Media, audio, image, and video models are intentionally handled separately.
