Qwen-Plus example: JSON output against a schema

The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

from openai import OpenAI
import json

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.uttapen.ir/v1", api_key="sk-up-…")

schema = {
    "name": "ticket",
    "schema": {

What is Qwen-Plus good for?

Qwen (Alibaba) publishes this model; we expose it under the id "qwen/qwen-plus". Its context window is 1,000,000 tokens, roughly 750k English words in one request. A single response can run to 32,768 tokens. On price it sits in the "cheap" band — cheaper than 272 and dearer than 126 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What you get on top of text in, text out: it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper.

Input runs at 90,017 toman per 1M tokens and output at 270,051 — output costs 3× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 18,003 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.

The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Mercury 2, and Qwen-Plus costs about the same, and its context window is larger. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.

To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 214 thousand-word requests on Qwen-Plus, and every 1,000 toman is about 2,137 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 360,068 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,000,000-token window costs 90,017 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "qwen/qwen3-coder-flash", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (468 and 527 toman). Maximum answer length differs as well: 32,768 against 65,536 tokens. On parameters, this one takes structured_outputs.

Qwen (Alibaba) has 42 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Qwen3.7 Flash at 72 toman per thousand words and the dearest Qwen3.8 Max Prime at 7,201. Among the less common parameters it accepts logprobs, presence_penalty, top_k, top_logprobs — all through the standard request body. It does not support include_reasoning, reasoning, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Nova 2 Lite at 1,000,000 tokens.

Where it makes sense: high-volume work such as classification, tagging and bulk summarising, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
