Correct qwen3.6-plus implicit-cache pricing.
cachedInputPrice represents Alibaba implicit-cache pricing. It must be 20% of inputPrice. The new tiers set it to 10% and omit cacheReadInputPrice, so implicit cache usage is billed at half the configured rate.
Set cachedInputPrice to "0.1e-6" and cacheReadInputPrice to "0.05e-6" for the base tier. Apply the same 20% and 10% split to every over-256K and regional tier. Keep cacheWriteInputPrice unchanged.
The ProviderModelMapping contract defines these cache-rate and fallback rules.

Problem
The Alibaba Qwen catalogue charged several flat top-tier prices, inherited Singapore prices into lower-cost regions, and omitted long-context tiers. This incorporates the pricing work from #3583 and fixes the gaps found by an exact-ID OpenRouter cross-check.
Exact-ID cross-check
OpenRouter is useful as a secondary identity and tier-shape check, but its price cannot be copied into a direct Alibaba or Novita mapping. Every OpenRouter endpoint below currently reports
discount: 0, so these are OpenRouter's original prices, not promotional prices.qwen/qwen3-coder-plusqwen/qwen3-coder-plusqwen/qwen3-maxqwen/qwen3-maxqwen/qwen3.7-maxqwen/qwen3.7-max-20260520qwen/qwen3.7-plusqwen/qwen3.7-plus-202606022026-05-26alias snapshot.qwen/qwen3.7-flashqwen/qwen3.7-flash-202607272026-07-15alias snapshot; base pricing agrees.qwen/qwen3.6-plusqwen/qwen3.6-plus-04-02qwen/qwen3.6-flashqwen/qwen3.6-flashqwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3bqwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b-20260415OpenRouter's original long-context overrides also differ: Coder Plus is 1.17/5.85 above 32K and 1.95/9.75 above 128K; Qwen3 Max is 1.56/7.8 and 1.95/9.75; Qwen3.7 Plus is 0.96/3.84 above 256K; Qwen3.6 Plus is 1.3/3.9 above 256K; and Qwen3.6 Flash is 0.75/3 above 256K.
