Updated large open Qwen3 MoE instruct model for multilingual chat, coding, and tool use
Qwen3 235B-A22B Instruct 2507 by alibaba is offered by 28 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 26 of them. Its reference price is $1.03 per 1M input tokens and $3.08 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is OpenRouter at $0.087 / $0.35 per 1M, about 17× below the reference price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it. It also has 1 free ($0) channel; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
Artificial Analysis rates it 12.7 on the Intelligence Index, with 22.1 for coding and 1.3 for agentic tasks. Against its lowest blended price of $0.153 per 1M, that is roughly 83 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 66 tokens per second, with 2.75s to the first token. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $0.0806, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.
The context window is 262,144 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 128,000 to 262,144, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports tool use and structured output. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2025-04.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

Sorted by blended price (input×0.75 + output×0.25) asc. The official channel always shows regardless of rank. Whether a gateway's low price is actually usable can't be verified.
1 more channels offer $0 (ModelScope); free tiers usually have rate limits and no SLA, excluded from ranking.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
