Qwen in India, answered
Which Qwen models are available in India?
Qwen3-1.7B (free), Qwen3-235B-A22B, the open-weight Qwen3.8-27B (with vision) and the flagship Qwen3-Max — all via the OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
How much does Qwen cost in rupees?
Qwen3 1.7B is free for both input and output; Qwen3 235B A22B is ₹9.07 per 1M input and ₹55.42 per 1M output; Qwen3.8-27B is free for both input and output; Qwen3 Max is ₹120.93 per 1M input and ₹604.63 per 1M output. Indicative — live rates are on each model page.
Which Qwen model should I start with?
Start with the free Qwen3-1.7B or the low-cost Qwen3-235B-A22B for high-volume work; reach for Qwen3-Max when you need the flagship, or Qwen3.8-27B if you want open weights and vision.
Can I self-host Qwen later?
Qwen3.8-27B ships as open weights, so you can move it in-house later; hosted-only models like Qwen3-Max stay on the API. One key spans both while you decide.
Do I need to change my code?
No — set the base URL to https://api.unoblox.ai/v1 and the model id to a qwen/… slug. The OpenAI SDK, streaming, tool calls and JSON mode all work unchanged.
How is it billed, and where does it run?
In rupees on a GST invoice from an Indian entity, with ITC where registered. Inference runs on the provider's infrastructure; open models may run on unoblox GPUs in India. No international card is required.
