Qwen3 Coder Flash example: tool calling

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-…")

tools = [{
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
        "name": "check_stock",
        "description": "Returns the stock level of a product",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {"sku": {"type": "string"}},
            "required": ["sku"],
        },
    },
}]

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "How many of the Nike NK-42 shoe are in stock?"}]
first = client.chat.completions.create(model="qwen/qwen3-coder-flash", messages=messages, tools=tools)
call = first.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0]

# you run the function yourself — the model never touches the database
args = json.loads(call.function.arguments)
result = {"sku": args["sku"], "qty": 7}

messages += [first.choices[0].message, {"role": "tool", "tool_call_id": call.id, "content": json.dumps(result)}]

print(final.choices[0].message.content)

What is Qwen3 Coder Flash good for?

The id for Qwen3 Coder Flash in our API is "qwen/qwen3-coder-flash", served from Qwen (Alibaba). Context is 1,000,000 tokens; past that you have to summarise the history yourself. A single response can run to 65,536 tokens. On price it sits in the "cheap" band — cheaper than 134 and dearer than 272 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What it can do beyond plain text: 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.

Pricing is 56,574 toman per 1M input tokens and 282,872 per 1M output tokens. A 1,000-word round trip on Qwen3 Coder Flash lands near 441 toman. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 11,315 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 DeepSeek V3 0324: Qwen3 Coder Flash works out roughly 1.1× 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 227 thousand-word requests on Qwen3 Coder Flash, and every 1,000 toman is about 2,268 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 339,446 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,000,000-token window costs 56,574 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "qwen/qwen-plus", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (441 and 392 toman). Maximum answer length differs as well: 65,536 against 32,768 tokens. On parameters the other takes structured_outputs.

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 logprobs, top_k, top_logprobs — all through the standard request body. It does not support include_reasoning, reasoning, 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 Nova 2 Lite at 1,000,000 tokens.

Good fits: 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.
