Where it sits on price

Of the 30 models in this catalog, Qwen3.8-Max ranks 15 by output price — cheaper than 15 and more expensive than 14. The vendor does not publish a separate cached-input price, so caching does not change the input rate here.

Price is not capability. A model that is half the price but needs two attempts, or that cannot hold your context, is the more expensive choice. Use these figures for budgeting and run your own evaluation for the quality decision.
