Why Alibaba via Synthorai
- Bring your own key. Bring your own Alibaba Cloud DashScope key: zero markup, free during early access.
- Zero prompt retention. Zero prompt retention at the gateway by default; Alibaba Cloud's API data policies apply upstream. Details →
- Prompt caching. Implicit context cache is automatic; an explicit cache_control mode offers deeper discounts (1,024-token minimum blocks, 5-minute TTL that resets on hit). Per-model cached-read prices are in the pricing table. Cache reads from $0.022/M.

Alibaba's Qwen family is one of the broadest open-weight-rooted lineups in production: Max/Plus/Turbo chat tiers, strong multilingual and Chinese-language performance, coder variants and the Qwen-Image generation line. On Synthorai the whole Qwen line sits behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint with live per-model pricing; no Alibaba Cloud account is required.
FAQ
How do I get an Alibaba API key without a subscription?
You don't need an Alibaba account: sign up on Synthorai, create one API key, and every Alibaba model on this page works through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint: pay-as-you-go, no subscription (models marked "invited beta" additionally need an approved application).
What does the Alibaba API cost?
Token-billed models start at $0.05/M input tokens; every model's live per-unit price is in the table above. These are provider list prices with no platform markup.
Can I use my own Alibaba key (BYOK)?
Yes. Bring your own Alibaba Cloud DashScope key: zero markup, free during early access. Your key stays in an encrypted vault and requests using it bill at provider list price.
What is Alibaba's data-retention policy via API?
Zero prompt retention at the gateway by default; Alibaba Cloud's API data policies apply upstream.
