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? +
Alibaba Cloud Model Studio lists Qwen3 Coder Flash at
$0.3/M input and $1.5/M output on its International/Singapore 0-32K deployment row. That is a published US dollar list price, not a converted one.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 at
$0.5/M input and $2.5/M output, 128K-256K at $0.8 and $4, and 256K-1M at $1.6 and $9.6.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
$0.3/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
$0.4/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.
