Qwen3 235B A22B example: tool calling

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

tools = [{
    "type": "function",
    "function": {

            "type": "object",

What is Qwen3 235B A22B good for?

Qwen3 235B A22B comes from Qwen (Alibaba); in uttapen you reach it with the model id "qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b". It accepts up to 131,072 tokens of input per call, so a long document or several source files fit in a single request. A single response can run to 8,192 tokens. On price it sits in the "cheap" band — cheaper than 191 and dearer than 215 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

Capabilities available on this id: 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; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.

For a back-of-envelope figure: about 858 toman per 1,000-word exchange (132,007 in, 528,028 out, per 1M tokens). 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 GLM 4.6: Qwen3 235B A22B works out roughly 1× more expensive, and its context window is smaller. 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 117 thousand-word requests on Qwen3 235B A22B, and every 1,000 toman is about 1,166 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 660,034 toman in total. Filling this model's 131,072-token window costs 17,302 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-thinking-2507", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (858 and 954 toman). Maximum answer length differs as well: 8,192 against 117,964 tokens. On parameters the other takes logprobs, repetition_penalty, top_logprobs.

Qwen (Alibaba) has 53 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Qwen3.7 Flash at 60 toman per thousand words and the dearest Qwen3.8 Max (0902) at 3,017. Among the less common parameters it accepts top_k — all through the standard request body. It does not support structured_outputs, 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 Aion-2.0 at 131,072 tokens.

What to use it for: high-volume work such as classification, tagging and bulk summarising, logic puzzles and code review, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema.
