Qwen 3.8 Flash API in India

In Indian rupees, the currency your card is charged in, with the published US dollar rate beside each.

For scale: 1,000 requests of about 3,000 tokens in and 1,000 out cost ₹99.63 — a long prompt and a page of answer each. Every rate is published and stays the same from one request to the next. See every model.

Prices are our published US dollar rates converted at ₹98.00 to the dollar, our rate for October — the same rate your card is charged.

Qwen 3.8 Flash is Alibaba’s volume model — 125 billion parameters with only 6 billion active per token, which is what makes it cheap and quick. It previews the design planned for Qwen4, and Alibaba says it cost about a ninth as much to train as Qwen3.7-Plus while beating it. Alibaba reports 62.5% on SWE-bench Pro and 84.5% on AndroidWorld, a phone-automation test.

It reads images and video, holds a million tokens, and thinks by default with adjustable effort. Reviewers’ main complaint is length: it writes far more than most models, which eats into its price advantage.

• High-volume coding help at low cost.
• Long video and document analysis.
• Automating phone and desktop apps.
• Office task automation.

• Very wordy, so tasks can cost more than its rates suggest.
• Turning reasoning down does not reliably make long multi-turn sessions faster.
• Its scores are Alibaba’s own.
