Alibaba Launches Qwen3.7-Plus: Multimodal Model at $0.4–$1.6 per 1M Tokens, but Closed-Source

Alibaba has released Qwen3.7-Plus, a multimodal model capable of processing text, video, and image inputs. The model is priced competitively at $0.4 per 1M input tokens and $1.6 per 1M output tokens, positioning it as a low-cost option in the crowded multimodal AI market.

The key caveat is that Qwen3.7-Plus remains proprietary, unlike some of Alibaba's previous Qwen-series releases that carried open-weight options. For studios and developers weighing cost against flexibility, the closed nature of the model may limit fine-tuning and on-premise deployment possibilities despite its attractive pricing.
