Qwen instruction model for multilingual chat, reasoning, and tool use
Qwen3 235B A22B Instruct by alibaba is offered by 3 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 2 of them. Its reference price is $0.22 per 1M input tokens and $0.88 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is Abacus at $0.13 / $0.60 per 1M, about 1.7× 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.
The context window is 262,144 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 256,000 to 262,144, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, 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.
