Published
Community reports expect Qwen 4 to launch next Tuesday, November 10, 2026. We'll add discounted routes as soon as public access opens. This is a launch expectation, not an official release commitment or a promise that all API tiers will open together.
Our November 6 check found no public APIMaster route for the Qwen4 search names below. A verified Qwen 4 price and discount are not available yet. Qwen4 names in this article are search terms pending the provider's exact request IDs.
Qwen 4 · Qwen3.8 Flash · Qwen3.8 Max
Checked 2026-11-06. Prices are USD per million uncached input / billed output tokens. Counts exclude client-exclusive routes. The live market card controls current price and availability.
| Model ID | Official price, input / output per 1M tokens | Current APIMaster price | Active routes | Discount | Model card |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
qwen4 / qwen4-max (development names) |
Not announced | No public route found | 0 | Unknown | Check Qwen4 |
qwen3.8-flash |
$0.15 / $0.47 | From $0.06 / $0.18 | 6 | 60% off input; about 61.7% off output | View Flash |
qwen3.8-max |
$2 / $6 | From $0.80 / $2.40 | 6 | 60% off input and output | View Max |
The official baseline is Singapore / International, up to 1M input tokens: Flash $0.15/$0.47 and Max $2/$6. Flash's market-card output reference is $0.45, not today's official $0.47. Savings are 60% on Flash input, about 61.7% on output, and 60% on both Max rates.

Qwen 4 release date: Tuesday, November 10
The latest community date supplied to us is November 10. Model announcements, downloadable weights and supplier API access can follow different schedules. The existing Qwen 4 guide covers the roadmap photo, Qwen4-27B and the merged Qwen Code 1M default; that client change does not establish a tested server limit.
When will discounted Qwen 4 routes go live?
We'll add discounted routes as soon as public access opens. We assess access through our upstream suppliers' supported-model catalogs, then separately check APIMaster's public listings. An announcement alone does not establish a purchasable route, and an empty APIMaster search does not prove that every supplier is closed.
When a route appears, check its exact model ID, input/output rates, context and tool limits on the live card before switching production traffic. No Qwen 4 launch discount, percentage or token price is promised in advance.
What can you spend on Qwen while waiting?
Budget: 100,000 uncached input tokens + 20,000 billed output tokens per task. Formula: input_tokens × input_rate / 1,000,000 + output_tokens × output_rate / 1,000,000. This is arithmetic, not a measured model benchmark.
| Model ID | Official reference / task | APIMaster from / task | APIMaster / 1,000 tasks |
|---|---|---|---|
qwen3.8-flash |
$0.0244 | $0.0096 | $9.6 |
qwen3.8-max |
$0.32 | $0.128 | $128 |
The 1,000-task column scales the same budget; it is not a bulk discount. Figures are rounded and exclude cache, storage, search/tools, taxes and retries. Include billed reasoning output and every agent call. Different models can consume different token counts; compare cost per accepted result.
Prepare your API key before Qwen 4 opens
Register with APIMaster, create an API key, and use the API Base below. Start with an available model ID such as qwen3.8-flash or qwen3.8-max. Keep the model name configurable, then test the confirmed Qwen 4 ID when its route becomes available.

FAQ
Can I buy a cheap Qwen 4 API now?
No public APIMaster route was found in this check. We'll add discounted routes as soon as public access opens; use the live card to confirm when one is actually purchasable.
Is November 10 an official release date?
It is the latest community expectation supplied to us, not an independently verified official commitment. No synchronized API or weights rollout is assumed.
How much will Qwen 4 cost?
There is no verified Qwen 4 quote in this article. The $0.06 / $0.18 Flash and $0.80 / $2.40 Max rates are for Qwen3.8.
Will the current 60% discount carry over to Qwen 4?
That cannot be calculated before Qwen 4 supplier quotes and a reference price exist. Current savings apply only to the listed Qwen3.8 rates.
Can I call the API with model qwen4?
Treat qwen4 and qwen4-max as search terms until the supplier publishes the exact supported ID. Do not assume a working endpoint from a development name.
What should I prepare for migration?
Prepare an account, a key, configurable model IDs and a small acceptance set. Compare quality, latency, tool behavior and complete bills before expanding use.
