Qwen: Qwen-Max
🇨🇳 Qwen (Alibaba) · Qwen-Max
Overview
Qwen: Qwen-Max is a large language model API from Qwen (Alibaba), part of its Qwen-Max model family. Priced at $1.04 per million input tokens and $4.16 per million output tokens, it occupies the mid-range, balancing capability against running cost. Output tokens cost about 4× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. The 33K-token context window — around 49 pages of text — comfortably handles long documents, multi-file code, or extended conversations. All prices on this page reflect OpenRouter's routed rates and are re-synced automatically every day; confirm against the provider's official pricing before committing to production.
