abmateen · reddit · 2026-08-30
A developer on OpenRouter noticed that Qwen3.8 27B is priced at $2.55 per million output tokens, significantly higher than the Qwen3.8 Flash at $0.47 (5.4x cheaper). In contrast, GLM-5.3 Flash is priced at just $0.25, making it ten times cheaper than the 27B model. The developer questioned if the pricing for the 27B model was a mistake.
