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
Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B needs about 1,324 GB of GPU memory at 4-bit with 32K context. The cheapest rental that fits is 8× B300 at about $45,331 a month.
That costs the same as roughly 17B tokens a month on Alibaba Cloud's API. Self-hosting is more expensive below that volume.

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 Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B good for?
Self-hosted access to the checkpoint behind Qwen3.8-Max: a 2.4T-parameter mixture of experts with 95B active, thinking mode only, under the custom Qwen3.8-Max License.
When is Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B not a good fit?
Image or video input: it is text only, and Alibaba's card says thinking cannot be turned off. Serving it takes more than one node, and the licence is Alibaba's own rather than Apache 2.0.

Hosted, unless you push serious volume. Alibaba Cloud charges $2.00 in / $6.00 out per 1M tokens. The cheapest rental that fits is 8x B300 at $45,331 a month, which costs the same as about 17B tokens a month on that API.
Can I self-host Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B?
Yes. The weights are released under the Qwen3.8-Max License. At 4-bit it needs about 1,324 GB of GPU memory, which starts at roughly $45,331 a month on the cheapest rental that fits.
