Summary

Qwen: Qwen3 235B A22B Instruct 2507 does not yet carry a Known Good Index score — the index needs at least one science, one mathematics and one coding result. It accepts text input, outputs text, and supports a 262k-token context window.

Pricing is $0.09 per 1M input tokens (below the $1.96 average) and $0.55 per 1M output (below the $9.07 average). Cached input reads at $0.018 per 1M, a 80% discount on its input price. At 39 tokens per second it sits in the slowest quarter of the models we track.

Price & Cost

Published API pricing by token type

BlendedInput vs outputQuality per dollar
Blended Price

USD per 1M tokens at a 3:1 input:output blend. Live from OpenRouter, cross-checked against models.dev. Lower is better. Ranked against the 504 models priced above zero, which is the population the chart draws; excludes 39 published at no cost (free and promotional tiers).

⇩
The Known Good
We publish blended price rather than cost-per-task. Cost-per-task requires token counts from an evaluation suite we do not run. Blended price is computed from published rates and is fully reproducible — see the pricing methodology.
