Qwen: Qwen3 VL 235B A22B Thinking
🇨🇳 Qwen (Alibaba) · Qwen3 VL
Overview
Qwen: Qwen3 VL 235B A22B Thinking is a large language model API from Qwen (Alibaba), part of its Qwen3 VL model family. Priced at $0.260 per million input tokens and $2.60 per million output tokens, it occupies the mid-range, balancing capability against running cost. Output tokens cost about 10× 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. Beyond plain text it also accepts Image input, so it can be applied to multimodal tasks rather than text alone. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 21 (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.
