Qwen3 Max 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-max", 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)}]
final = client.chat.completions.create(model="qwen/qwen3-max", messages=messages, tools=tools)
print(final.choices[0].message.content)

What is Qwen3 Max good for?

The id for Qwen3 Max in our API is "qwen/qwen3-max", served from Qwen (Alibaba). Context is 262,144 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 "mid-range" band — cheaper than 262 and dearer than 144 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 226,298 toman per 1M input tokens and 1,131,488 per 1M output tokens. A 1,000-word round trip on Qwen3 Max lands near 1,765 toman. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 45,260 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 V4 Pro 0813 (batch): Qwen3 Max works out roughly 1.1× cheaper, 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 57 thousand-word requests on Qwen3 Max, and every 1,000 toman is about 567 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 1,357,785 toman in total. Filling this model's 262,144-token window costs 59,323 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", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. On a thousand-word request this variant works out 3.6× dearer (1,765 against 490 toman). On parameters the other takes logit_bias, min_p, repetition_penalty.

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, 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 Trinity Large Thinking at 262,144 tokens.

Good fits: product chatbots and internal assistants, where cost and quality have to balance, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
