Qwen: Qwen3 VL 8B Thinking

Qwen: Qwen3 VL 8B Thinking is a large language model API from Qwen (Alibaba), part of its Qwen3 VL model family. Priced at $0.117 per million input tokens and $1.36 per million output tokens, it occupies the mid-range, balancing capability against running cost. Output tokens cost about 12× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. A large 256K-token context window (≈384 pages of text) lets it take in whole books, large codebases, or lengthy transcripts in a single call. 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 11 (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.
