Qwen vision-language model for visual reasoning, documents, and agent tasks
Qwen3.8 Flash by alibaba is offered by 20 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 16 of them. Its official list price is $0.119 per 1M input tokens and $0.401 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is Vancine at $0.12 / $0.38 per 1M, about 1.3× below the list 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 and 3 covered by a paid subscription; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
The context window is 1,000,000 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 262,144 to 1,048,576, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, Video, and PDF. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use.
