Alibaba Cloud Model Studio & PAI
Hyperscaler cloud
Provided by Alibaba Cloud (Singapore) Private Limited
Offering overview
Home of the Qwen family, this cloud lets customers call Qwen-Max, Qwen-Plus, Qwen-Flash and newer Qwen3.x generations, plus vision, embedding and speech models, through Model Studio's OpenAI-compatible API. International traffic is served from Singapore, with additional deployments in Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Virginia and Tokyo, and batch calls earn a 50 percent discount where supported. Platform for AI (PAI) is the heavier tier: managed notebooks, distributed training, model fine-tuning and elastic inference services on NVIDIA GPU instances, together with vector databases, OSS storage and MaxCompute for data pipelines. Context caching, thinking and non-thinking modes and tiered pricing by input length are built into the token models. Companies operating in China and Southeast Asia, and anyone standardising on Qwen, benefit most. New international accounts get one million free tokens for 90 days, and qwen3.7-flash starts at USD 0.03 per 1M input tokens in the Singapore region.
