Alibaba Qwen
Qwen models cover multilingual chat, long-context reasoning and the Qwen-Image generation series, which is exposed through the same unified endpoint.
When to use it
At $0.12 per 1M input tokens it sits far below the catalogue median of $0.69 — a cost-first choice. Best for coding agents and repository-scale edits. Every model here is reachable with the same API key, so trialling it against a stronger sibling costs one line of code.
