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

Qwen3.5-122B-A10B needs about 70 GB of GPU memory at 4-bit with 32K context. The cheapest rental that fits is 8× RTX 3060 at about $461 a month.

That costs the same as roughly 532M tokens a month on Alibaba Cloud's API. Self-hosting is more expensive below that volume.

What it costs to self-host Qwen3.5-122B-A10B 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

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 Qwen3.5-122B-A10B good for?

Reasoning, coding, agents and visual understanding, which Alibaba built the Qwen3.5 series for. Apache 2.0 weights, servable on a single high-memory GPU.

When is Qwen3.5-122B-A10B not a good fit?

Audio input or image output. Memory follows the full 122B parameters, not the 10B active, so it is beyond a single consumer GPU.

What is the cheapest way to run Qwen3.5-122B-A10B?

Hosted, unless you push serious volume. Alibaba Cloud charges $0.40 in / $3.20 out per 1M tokens. The cheapest rental that fits is 8x RTX 3060 at $461 a month, which costs the same as about 532M tokens a month on that API.

Can I self-host Qwen3.5-122B-A10B?

Yes. The weights are Apache 2.0 licensed. At 4-bit it needs about 70 GB of GPU memory, which starts at roughly $461 a month on the cheapest rental that fits.
