Qwen: Qwen3 Max
🇨🇳 Qwen (Alibaba) · Qwen3 Max
Overview
Qwen: Qwen3 Max is a large language model API from Qwen (Alibaba), part of its Qwen3 Max model family. Priced at $0.780 per million input tokens and $3.90 per million output tokens, it occupies the mid-range, balancing capability against running cost. Output tokens cost about 5× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. A large 262K-token context window (≈393 pages of text) lets it take in whole books, large codebases, or lengthy transcripts in a single call. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 24 (D 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.
