Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507

Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 is a advanced-tier language model from Deep Infra with 235B parameters. Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 is an open-weights model, meaning the weights are publicly available for self-hosting, fine-tuning, and deployment on your own infrastructure — not just through Deep Infra's API. Qwen is Alibaba's open-weights model family, with strong multilingual performance (especially Chinese/English) and a wide parameter range from 0.5B to 72B.

Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 is priced at $0.09/1M input tokens and $0.55/1M output tokens. Output tokens are 6.1× more expensive than input tokens — this ratio reflects the sequential nature of autoregressive generation, which requires a separate forward pass per output token versus parallel processing of all input tokens simultaneously. At a typical usage pattern of 1,000 input tokens and 500 output tokens per call, Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 costs approximately $0.36 per 1,000 API calls. Deep Infra does not publish a prompt caching rate for this model, so repeated long contexts are billed at the standard $0.09/1M input rate.

Its 262K-token context window is in the top tier for production models, enabling full-document analysis, long multi-turn conversations, and large codebase understanding without chunking.

Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 is best suited to reasoning, coding, cost. Supported capabilities include function calling / tool use for agentic workflows, streaming token output for real-time UIs. Function calling support makes it suitable for building AI agents, structured data extraction pipelines, and any workflow requiring the model to invoke external APIs or return typed JSON. When evaluating this model for a specific workload, the most important factors are: context window (does your input fit?), output price (how long are your generations?), and latency (is this interactive or batch?). The pricing table above shows how Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 compares to similar models across these dimensions.

Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 sits in the advanced tier — strong general-purpose models balancing capability and cost, suitable for most production applications. As an open-weights model, Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 can be self-hosted on GPU compute (see the GPU rental comparison on this site) to eliminate per-token API costs entirely — the break-even point versus API pricing depends on your volume and the GPU hourly rate.
