How we price

Order

Providers are listed cheapest input rate first, then by output rate, a tie going to the creator's own listing. A provider that lists the model without a published rate sits at the end.

Prices

Base-tier, on-demand rates in USD per 1M tokens, converted at ECB reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. Cached-input and batch rates show only where a provider publishes them. "Cheapest" marks the one provider with the lowest input and output pair; a tie wears no badge.

Cost

Input rate times the input tokens plus output rate times the output tokens, at the monthly volume set above the table. Cached-input, batch, long-context and reasoning-token billing are not modelled.

Transparency and funding

Heads up: Base-tier, on-demand rates per 1M tokens; cached, batch and long-context tiers excluded. A provider may serve a shorter context or a quantized build than the creator's release. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.

Estimated cost to self-host

Qwen3-Coder-Next needs about 48 GB of GPU memory at 4-bit with 32K context. The cheapest rental that fits is 4× RTX 4060 Ti at about $374 a month.

That costs the same as roughly 749M tokens a month on Alibaba Cloud's API. Self-hosting is more expensive below that volume.

What it costs to self-host Qwen3-Coder-Next at each precision: the memory it needs, the cheapest rental that holds it, that rental's month and the API volume it pays off at
Precision	Memory	Cheapest fit (32K context)(Full 262K context)	Cost /mo	Break-even vs API

Estimates based on median on-demand rates for Nvidia GPUs. Memory is weights plus KV cache for one request, using FP8 KV cache where supported and FP16/BF16 otherwise. Break-even assumes a 5:1 input-to-output ratio. No guarantee of runtime support, usable performance, or that a matching quantized build exists. Pricing methodology.

Common questions

What is Qwen3-Coder-Next good for?

Coding agents and local development, from an 80B mixture of experts with 3B active. Apache 2.0 weights, servable on a single high-memory GPU.

When is Qwen3-Coder-Next not a good fit?

Tasks that need a reasoning trace: it is non-thinking only. No image or video input, no built-in web search, though a host or your own tool loop can add one, and it takes more memory to serve than the Coder-30B-A3B sibling.

What is the cheapest way to run Qwen3-Coder-Next?

Hosted, unless you push serious volume. Alibaba Cloud charges $0.30 in / $1.50 out per 1M tokens. The cheapest rental that fits is 4x RTX 4060 Ti at $374 a month, which costs the same as about 749M tokens a month on that API.

Can I self-host Qwen3-Coder-Next?

Yes. The weights are Apache 2.0 licensed. At 4-bit it needs about 48 GB of GPU memory, which starts at roughly $374 a month on the cheapest rental that fits.
