Qwen Turbo

qwenqwen/qwen-turbo

High-throughput, low-latency Qwen — built for volume.

qwen-turbo is tuned for throughput and latency. It serves the same OpenAI-compatible API as the heavier Qwen tiers but at $0.07 input / $0.25 output per MTok — typical for high-volume chat, classification, and rewrite workloads where per-call cost dominates.

Despite the price it still ships a 1M context window, so you don't lose long-document capability when you move down the tier list. TheRouter selects between bailian-cn and bailian-sg per request based on cost.

Low latency
Optimised for fast first-token and high tokens-per-second — good fit for streaming UIs.
1M context
Same 1M context as qwen-plus, retained at a fraction of the price.
Cheap at scale
$0.07 input / $0.25 output per MTok. Comfortably absorbs bulk classification, tagging, and rewriting.
Dual-region routing
Selector picks the cheaper of bailian-cn / bailian-sg per request.
When to use
High-volume chat, content rewriting, classification, tagging, summary pipelines, and any workload where per-call cost dominates.
When not to use
Hard reasoning, complex coding, or agent loops with deep tool use — step up to qwen-plus, qwen-max, or qwen3-max.
Pricing: $0.07 input / $0.25 output per MTok. TheRouter routes to the cheaper of bailian-cn / bailian-sg per request.
