Offers for Qwen3 VL 8B Instruct, one row per offer, sorted by blended price.
RankProvider · viaYou buy access through an aggregator: one account and one API that forward your requests to other providers. "Via" names the aggregator; the price is the one it charges you. When "via" says "hosted API", no aggregator is involved: the model belongs to a lab and another provider sells it.Input $/1MOutput $/1MBlended $/1MA single price that mixes input and output: 3 input tokens for 1 output token, per million tokens. It makes offers easy to rank; your real cost depends on your own mix.PrecisionHow finely the model's numbers are stored on the provider's servers. Lower precision (fp8, fp4) is cheaper to run and can slightly change answer quality; "unknown" means the provider doesn't say. ContextThe maximum amount of text, counted in tokens, the model can take in and write in a single request. Past this limit, the request is refused or cut.ConditionsWhat a provider says about how it handles your data and who can sign up: training on prompts, processing region, sign-up requirements. Each comes from the provider's published documents; when nothing is published, it stays unknown.SignalsOffer
