I run Qwen3.5-plus through Alibaba’s coding plan (Model Studio): incredibly cheap, pretty fast, and decent. I can’t compare it to the highest released weight one though.

Is that https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/model-studio/coding-pla... ? I was a bit confused that it seems to be sized in requests not tokens
Yeah that's the one. I've not managed to get close to the limits that the cheapest plan has. Though I did get to sign up at $3 a month which has been neat, too, seems that's gone now
I also want to try Qwen 3.5 plus. I have a doubt, I see almost same pricing for both Qwen and Claude code(the difference being the highest pro plan looks cheaper), and not for the lower plans. Am I missing something, when you say “cheaper” ??
I'm using their $3 USD (currently, it will go up in price later I believe - edit: just checked and yeah, so the $10 one) lite plan, and I'm yet to get close to hitting the request limits when I swap to it once I'm out of Claude tokens.
