Qwen3.5-122B-A10B pricing by host

A host is a company that runs the model and sells it by the token — the lab that made it, a cloud platform like Amazon Bedrock, Azure or Vertex, or an independent provider. One model, several sellers, and often several prices. This model is sold by 5 different hosts. The price quoted above is the one we publish so that models stay comparable; it is not necessarily the cheapest way to buy this model. List prices as published on 2026-09-28 via OpenRouter — negotiated rates, committed-use discounts and provisioned capacity are not shown. These hosts do not all serve the model at the same numeric precision, so the cheapest is not a like-for-like substitute for the dearest.

The price we publish is already the cheapest of the 5 hosts: SiliconFlow at $0.26 input / $2.08 output per 1M tokens. It serves a quantized fp8 build, which is not the same product as the full-precision model. The dearest, Novita, charges 1.5x the cheapest.
