Qwen

49 models built

Qwen is Alibaba Cloud's model family, built by Tongyi Lab, covering open-weight and commercial models from small dense models to large mixture-of-experts systems. On OpenKey the lineup runs 49 models deep, spanning the Qwen2.5 series through Qwen3, Qwen3.5, Qwen3.6, and Qwen3.7. Alibaba ships fast and broad: coder-specific variants (Qwen3 Coder, Qwen3 Coder Plus, Qwen3 Coder Next), vision-language models (Qwen3 VL, Qwen2.5 VL), thinking variants for harder reasoning, and long-context Plus/Max tiers with context windows up to 1,000,000 tokens. Two models — Qwen3 Coder 480B A35B and Qwen3 Next 80B A3B Instruct — are free to use. The newest release is Qwen3.7 Plus.

Lineup

For general-purpose work, Qwen3.7 Max ($1.25/$3.75 per 1M input/output) is the current flagship, or step down to Qwen3.7 Plus ($0.32/$1.28) for most tasks at a fraction of the cost. For coding, Qwen3 Coder 480B A35B is free, and Qwen3 Coder Next ($0.11/$0.80) is cheap if you outgrow the free tier. For vision or multimodal input, Qwen3 VL 8B Instruct ($0.08/$0.50) is the budget pick; Qwen3 VL 235B A22B Instruct ($0.20/$0.88) scales up. If you just need the cheapest usable text model, Qwen2.5 7B Instruct runs $0.04/$0.10 per 1M tokens.

Prices per 1M tokens, flat 3% fee included.

Questions

What's the price range for Qwen models on OpenKey?
Qwen spans free (Qwen3 Coder 480B A35B and Qwen3 Next 80B A3B Instruct, both $0) up to Qwen3.6 Max Preview at $1.04 input / $6.24 output per 1M tokens. OpenKey charges provider list price plus a flat 3% fee, so Qwen3.6 Max Preview lands at $1.04 × 1.03 = $1.07 input and $6.24 × 1.03 = $6.43 output per 1M tokens.
Which Qwen model should I use if I want it free?
Two options: Qwen3 Coder 480B A35B (free), a 480B-parameter coding model with a 1,048,576-token context window, and Qwen3 Next 80B A3B Instruct (free), an 80B mixture-of-experts model with 262,144-token context. Both run at $0 on OpenKey with no markup since 3% of zero is zero.
Can I access all 49 Qwen models through one API key?
Yes. OpenKey gives you one key across all 49 Qwen models plus 280 others from the platform's other 51 labs (329 models total across the platform). No separate Alibaba Cloud account or key management needed.
