Frequently Asked Questions about QwQ 32B Preview

How much does the QwQ 32B Preview API cost per 1M tokens?+

QwQ 32B Preview by Alibaba is priced at $0.2 per 1M input tokens and $0.6 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0.05 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 50% discount.

Should I use a $20/month subscription or the QwQ 32B Preview pay-as-you-go API?+

A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.

How many words and pages fit in QwQ 32B Preview's context window?+

QwQ 32B Preview features a 33K tokens context window, which equals approximately 24,576 English words or ~66 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 8,192 tokens.

Can I run QwQ 32B Preview locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+

Yes, QwQ 32B Preview (32B) releases open weights that can be self-hosted locally or on private cloud GPUs using vLLM, Ollama, SGLang, or llama.cpp.

Does Alibaba train on data sent to the QwQ 32B Preview API, and is commercial use allowed?+

100% Isolated when self-hosted on private GPUs or VPC. License tier: Permissive Open-Weights (Apache 2.0 / MIT Commercial). Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: Self-Hosted GPU (vLLM / Ollama), Private VPC, or Managed Serverless API.

How does QwQ 32B Preview perform on coding and reasoning benchmarks?+

QwQ 32B Preview achieves a composite Intelligence Index of 47/100, scoring 54.2% on SWE-bench Verified, 65.2% on GPQA Diamond, 74.8% on MMLU-Pro, and 1312 pts on Chatbot Arena Elo.

What is QwQ 32B Preview best used for?+

QwQ 32B Preview is best suited for: Preuves mathématiques, logique algorithmique et vérification rigoureuse. Assessment: Le concurrent direct à poids ouverts d'OpenAI o1 pour le raisonnement logique.

Les scores de benchmarks, tarifs par token et limites évoluent rapidement. Vérifiez toujours les spécifications actuelles sur la documentation officielle du fournisseur.
