Qwen3.5-27B example: reading an image into JSON

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

What is Qwen3.5-27B good for?

The id for Qwen3.5-27B in our API is "qwen/qwen3.5-27b", served from Qwen (Alibaba). Context is 262,144 tokens; past that you have to summarise the history yourself. A single response can run to 81,920 tokens. On price it sits in the "mid-range" band — cheaper than 158 and dearer than 238 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What you get on top of text in, text out: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; 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.

Input runs at 90,017 toman per 1M tokens and output at 900,170 — output costs 10× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. 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 Nova 2 Lite, and Qwen3.5-27B costs about the same, 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 78 thousand-word requests on Qwen3.5-27B, and every 1,000 toman is about 777 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 990,187 toman in total. Filling this model's 262,144-token window costs 23,597 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "qwen/qwen3.6-27b", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (1,287 and 1,418 toman). Maximum answer length differs as well: 81,920 against 65,536 tokens.

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, min_p, presence_penalty, repetition_penalty, top_k — all through the standard request body. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Aion 3.5 at 262,144 tokens.

Where it makes sense: product chatbots and internal assistants, where cost and quality have to balance, logic puzzles and code review, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
