§ 03 / TOKENIZER

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.

Practical pricing questions, separated from calculator assumptions and regional tiers.

Q · 01 What is Qwen3 Coder Flash priced at? +
Qwen3 Coder Flash is shown at CNY 2.202/M input and CNY 11.009/M output on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio's International/Singapore 0-32K deployment row. AI//COST converts that to $0.3256/M and $1.628/M.
Q · 02 Does this page include higher context pricing tiers? +
The quote tiles use the 0-32K International/Singapore tier. Alibaba also lists 32K-128K, 128K-256K, and 256K-1M input bands for Qwen3 Coder Flash; the highest band reaches $1.7366/M input and $10.4192/M output after FX conversion.
Q · 03 Is prompt caching priced separately? +
Alibaba marks Qwen3 Coder Flash as eligible for Context Cache discount, but the pricing table does not publish a separate cache-read token amount. AI//COST therefore keeps cached input at $0.3256/M until Alibaba lists the exact cache-read price.
Q · 04 How is the effective price calculated? +
AI//COST uses the same 92/8 agentic blend everywhere. With no exact cache-read token price published for this row, Qwen3 Coder Flash's effective blended cost is $0.4298/M.
Q · 05 Is there a free quota or batch discount? +
Alibaba lists a 90-day activation free quota for many International Qwen rows, but not every open-source row includes one. Batch and context-cache support are model-specific; this page only publishes prices that are explicit in the vendor table.
Q · 06 Which API model ID should I use? +
Use the rolling model ID qwen3-coder-flash. Alibaba states its current capability is equivalent to qwen3-coder-flash-2025-07-28.
