Is the Qwen3 Coder Next API free to try?
Qwen3 Coder Next is currently in invited beta: access is application-based rather than open signup. Apply from the Synthorai console; once approved, standard pay-as-you-go pricing applies with no subscription.
How much does Qwen3 Coder Next cost?
Qwen3 Coder Next costs $0.11 per million input tokens and $0.8 per million output tokens on Synthorai. That is the provider's list price, with no platform markup. Cached input tokens bill at $0.022/M.
Does Qwen3 Coder Next support prompt caching?
Yes: automatic caching is on by default, with an explicit mode for guaranteed savings. Cached input tokens bill at $0.022/M vs $0.11/M uncached; prompts need a 1,024-token stable prefix to cache (TTL explicit: 5m, reset on hit). Prompt caching guide →
