How much does Qwen 3.8 30B cost per 1,000 requests?
Computed from generated token pricing. Each row assumes the listed input and output tokens per request; this model has no measured verbosity factor, so the unadjusted output estimate is shown.
| Request shape | Input tokens | Output tokens | Cost / 1,000 requests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 100 | 50 | $0.2100 |
| Medium | 1,000 | 500 | $2.1000 |
| Long | 4,000 | 2,000 | $8.4000 |
Formula: ((input price × input tokens) + (output price × output tokens × verbosity factor)) ÷ 1,000,000 × 1,000. Assumptions: short 100/50, medium 1,000/500, long 4,000/2,000 input/output tokens per request. Unadjusted — no measured verbosity factor is available.
Three model-specific pricing decisions
Qwen 3.8 30B is the Groq-hosted owner; its older Groq row, multimodal billing gaps, and accepted-run boundary are kept distinct from direct-Qwen pages.
1. Qwen 3.6 → 3.8 Groq migration bill
| Model | Verified / lifecycle | Input / output per M | 100K / 4K / 1K | Retry sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen 3.8 30B | 2026-07-10 · current | $0.60 / $3.00 | $540.00 | Adjusted cost = base ÷ (1 − retry rate) |
| Qwen 3.6 27B | 2026-06-19 · Legacy — superseded by Qwen 3.8 30B | $0.60 / $3.00 | $540.00 | Retry rate unavailable |
2. Multimodal coding-agent bill
| Shape | Text-token bill | Image unit | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coding agent | $840.00 | Unavailable | Text result only; no image conversion |
| Vision-shaped | $840.00 | Unavailable | Do not treat image input as zero |
3. Qwen versus GPT-OSS 120B cost per accepted run
| Fixed workload (input / output) | Qwen 3.8 30B | GPT-OSS 120B | Decision boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent run · 8,000 / 1,200 | $840.00 | $192.00 | 15% accepted-result uplift required to justify the higher bill |
| Coding run · 4,000 / 1,000 | $540.00 | $120.00 | 20% accepted-result uplift required to justify the higher bill |
Formula: 100,000 × (input tokens × input $/M + output tokens × output $/M) ÷ 1,000,000. Uplift is a decision threshold, not a measured quality claim.
