Qwen2.5 VL 72B Instruct is one of Qwen (Alibaba)'s models. Put "qwen/
Capabilities available on this id: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; 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.
For a back-of-envelope figure: about 810 toman per 1,000-word exchange (276,975 in, 346,219 out, per 1M tokens). It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 138,488 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 Sonar: Qwen2.5 VL 72B Instruct works out about 9% cheaper, 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 123 thousand-word requests on Qwen2.5 VL 72B Instruct, and every 1,000 toman is about 1,235 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 623,195 toman in total. Filling this model's 128,000-token window costs 35,453 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.
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 logit_bias, logprobs, presence_penalty, repetition_penalty, top_k, top_logprobs — all through the standard request body. It does not support include_reasoning, reasoning, tool_choice, tools, 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 Micro 1.0 at 128,000 tokens.
What to use it for: high-volume work such as classification, tagging and bulk summarising, pulling text and fields out of images, extracting data against a fixed schema.
Qwen2.5-VL is proficient in recognizing common objects such as flowers, birds, fish, and insects. It is also highly capable of analyzing texts, charts, icons, graphics, and layouts within images.
