Qwen: Qwen3 8B
🇨🇳 Qwen (Alibaba) · Qwen3 8B
Overview
Qwen: Qwen3 8B is a large language model API from Qwen (Alibaba), part of its Qwen3 8B model family. At $0.117 per million input tokens and $0.455 per million output tokens, it sits in the budget tier — among the cheaper options for high-throughput or cost-sensitive workloads. Output tokens cost about 4× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. The 131K-token context window — around 197 pages of text — comfortably handles long documents, multi-file code, or extended conversations. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 8 (F grade), a useful proxy for its general reasoning strength relative to the other models tracked here. 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.
