Live pricing via OpenRouter

Best for

  • High-volume, verifiable long-horizon agentic workloads
  • Teams on the Anthropic Messages protocol wanting a cheaper drop-in to trial
  • Context-heavy agents that benefit from the 90% cached-input discount

Watch out

Closed-weight / API-only (no self-host), undisclosed architecture, and a verbose reasoner whose effective cost-per-task exceeds the per-token rate; trails Opus 4.8 on aggregate and hardest coding.

For creators. Drive long autonomous coding/optimization runs and batch refactors via Claude Code or Qwen Code; route expensive-failure work to Opus.

Compare Qwen3.7-Max

Qwen3.7-Max vs DeepSeek V4

Qwen3.7-Max has the higher raw intelligence but is closed and API-only; DeepSeek V4 is open-weight MIT, cheaper, and self-hostable. Capability vs control.
