We're excited to announce our partnership with **Alibaba Cloud** — one of the world's largest cloud providers and the company behind the Qwen family of AI models.

Starting today, every Alibaba Cloud model on LLM Gateway comes with a **20% discount** applied automatically. No promo codes, no special configuration. Just lower prices on 26 Qwen models across chat, coding, reasoning, vision, and image generation.

## Why Qwen Models

Alibaba Cloud's Qwen series has quickly become one of the most competitive model families in the AI space. With context windows up to **1 million tokens**, built-in tool calling, vision capabilities, and dedicated coding models, Qwen offers a strong alternative to models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — often at a fraction of the cost.

Combined with our 20% discount, Qwen models are now among the most affordable high-quality AI models available through any API gateway.

## Discounted Models

All 26 Alibaba Cloud models below now include the 20% discount, applied automatically to every request.

### Flagship Models

## How It Works

The 20% discount is applied automatically to all Alibaba Cloud models on LLM Gateway. There's nothing to configure — just use any Qwen model through our OpenAI-compatible API and pay the discounted rate.

```bash
curl https://api.llmgateway.io/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "alibaba/qwen3-max-2026-01-23",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
}'
```

All Qwen models support our full feature set: smart routing, automatic fallback, request caching, cost tracking, and real-time analytics.
