Full specs, context window and API limits →How much does Qwen 3.7 Max cost per million tokens?
Qwen 3.7 Max costs $1.60 per million input tokens and $6.40 per million output tokens ($2.80/M blended at 3:1). Alibaba flagship model delivering frontier-tier reasoning, complex coding, and nuanced bilingual comprehension across Chinese and English. Verified 2026-09-08.
How much does Qwen 3.7 Max cost per 1,000 requests?
Computed from generated token pricing. Each row assumes the listed input and output tokens per request; this model has no measured verbosity factor, so the unadjusted output estimate is shown.
| Request shape | Input tokens | Output tokens | Cost / 1,000 requests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 100 | 50 | $0.4800 |
| Medium | 1,000 | 500 | $4.8000 |
| Long | 4,000 | 2,000 | $19.2000 |
Formula: ((input price × input tokens) + (output price × output tokens × verbosity factor)) ÷ 1,000,000 × 1,000. Assumptions: short 100/50, medium 1,000/500, long 4,000/2,000 input/output tokens per request. Unadjusted — no measured verbosity factor is available.
Three model-specific pricing decisions
Qwen 3.7 Max owns direct exact-model economics. Max/Plus and 3.7/3.8 broad verdicts stay on their existing owners.
1. Long-context, reasoning, and coding-agent bills
| Workload | Input / output | 100K bill | Output expansion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long context | 256,000 / 2,000 | $42240.00 | Fixed output |
| Reasoning | 8,000 / 1,200 | $2816.00 | 2× output sensitivity |
| Coding agent | 16,000 / 2,000 | $3840.00 | Retry not assumed |
2. Max-to-Plus accepted-result and retry crossover
| Fixed input / output | Qwen 3.7 Max | Qwen 3.7 Plus | Narrow decision boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coding agent · 16,000 / 2,000 | $3840.00 | $1680.00 | 15% accepted-result uplift required |
| Long context · 256,000 / 2,000 | $42240.00 | $20880.00 | 20% accepted-result uplift required |
Formula: requests × (input tokens × input $/M + output tokens × output $/M) ÷ 1,000,000. The uplift is a planning threshold, not a measured quality claim.
3. Price / TTFT / throughput and evidence states
| Dimension | Dated value | Safe treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Price | 2026-07-23 · $1.60 / $6.40 per M | Registry input |
| Speed | 49 tokens/sec; TTFT 460 ms; 5 measured samples | Sample status remains visible |
| Region / currency / context tier / cache / batch / quota | Unavailable | Never default to zero or USD-generalize |
Verified 2026-07-23. “Unavailable” means no compatible dated evidence was found; it is never treated as zero. First-party price source · Run this scenario.
All three decisions below are computed for Qwen 3.7 Max; fixed inputs, formulas, dated sources, speed sample state, and unavailable mechanics are visible.
