Qwen 3.8 Flash
The fast multimodal tier of the Qwen 3.8 family, with a native 1M-token window at fifteen cents per million input tokens.
Model ID: qwen3.8-flash
What that means
A worked example
Per-token pricing is hard to feel. Take a moderately chatty production workload: 100 calls a day, roughly 10,000 tokens in and 2,000 out each time. On Qwen 3.8 Flash that comes to about:
$7 / month
Before caching, batching or volume discounts, all of which move this number a long way. Illustrative only.
