Qwen3.7 Flash

alibaba/qwen3.7-flash

The cheapest capable model on Tchavi

From 0.066 credits per 1K input, Qwen3.7 Flash is the lowest-priced model here that handles vision and tools with a 1M context. The rate rises with the prompt: 0.066 / 0.29 per 1K in / out up to 32K, 0.22 / 0.88 up to 256K, 0.44 / 1.76 beyond.

What this model does well

  • 🎁

    Free tier

    In the BUDGET group — a free account can call it without topping up

  • 📚

    1M context

    A million-token window, from 0.066 credits per 1K in on prompts up to 32K

  • 🧠

    Reasoning

    Thinks before answering, unusual at this price

  • 👁️

    Image input

    Reads images, not text only

  • 🧾

    JSON mode

    Structured output for pipelines

  • 🪙

    1/1 credits

    The lowest rate in the catalog alongside the nano models

Example prompts

  • Summarise this 40-page supplier agreement into ten bullet points a non-lawyer can act on.

  • Classify these 200 support messages by intent and urgency, one JSON object per message.

Good to know

  • The price rises with the prompt's length, on both sides: 0.066 / 0.29 credits per 1K in / out up to 32,000 input tokens, 0.22 / 0.88 up to 256,000, and 0.44 / 1.76 above. Tchavi bills the tier the request falls in rather than capping the window, so the full 1M context is yours.
  • Give it room. With max_tokens below roughly 2 500 it can finish reasoning without ever emitting an answer, returning empty content that is still billed.
  • Text and images only — no PDF documents.
  • Parameters: Stop sequences (stop) and a JSON schema (json_schema) return an error, while JSON mode (json_object) works; frequency_penalty is not supported and is ignored.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay with mobile money, without a bank card?

Yes. Top up your Tchavi account with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or another mobile money operator. No bank card is needed. Credits land as soon as the payment is confirmed and are deducted as you use them.

Is the API compatible with OpenAI's?

Yes. Keep your current OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL to Tchavi's (shown in the API tab) and use your Tchavi key. The rest of your code stays the same.

API

import Tchavi from '@tchavi/sdk';

const client = new Tchavi({ apiKey: 'API_KEY' });

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'qwen3.7-flash',
  messages: [
  {
    "role": "user",
    "content": "Hello!"
  }
],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
console.log('Credits used:', response.tchavi.credits_used);

API parameters

Every parameter this model accepts on the API. Check the SDK for full typings.

modelRequired
string

ID of the chat model (e.g. `qwen3.7-flash`).

messagesRequired
Array<{ role, content }>

Conversation messages. Each item has a `role` (system/user/assistant) and a `content` that's either a plain string or an array of content blocks (`text`, `image_url`, `document_url`).

temperature
number
Default: 1

Sampling temperature between 0 and 2. Higher values = more random.

max_tokens
integer

Maximum number of tokens to generate in the response.

max_completion_tokens
integer

OpenAI alias for `max_tokens`. Either field works; if both are sent, `max_completion_tokens` wins.

stream
boolean
Default: false

If true, partial message deltas are streamed as Server-Sent Events.

tools
Array<{ type, function }>

Function-calling toolbox. Pass an array of `{ type: "function", function: { name, description, parameters } }`. Returned tool calls land in `choices[].message.tool_calls`. Only models with `supportsTools: true` accept this.

tool_choice
"auto" | "none" | { type, function }

How the model picks among tools: `"auto"` (default), `"none"` to force a plain text reply, or `{ type: "function", function: { name } }` to force a specific tool. Only with `supportsTools: true`.

response_format
{ type: "json_object" | "text" }

Constrain the output. Pass `{ type: "json_object" }` to force valid JSON (the model still needs a JSON instruction in your prompt). Only models with `supportsJsonMode: true` honour this.

Show all parameters (19)
top_p
number
Default: 1

Nucleus sampling: only tokens in the top `top_p` probability mass are considered.

seed
integer

Integer seed for deterministic output. The same seed + identical request yields the same completion when supported by the provider. OpenAI honours it; Anthropic ignores.

n
integer
Default: 1

Number of completions to generate in one call. Defaults to 1; each extra completion is billed.

stream_options
{ include_usage?: boolean }

Streaming options, e.g. `{ "include_usage": true }` to receive a final SSE chunk with usage counts. Effective only when `stream: true`.

stop
string | string[]

Up to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens.

frequency_penalty
number
Default: 0

Between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize tokens that have appeared frequently.

presence_penalty
number
Default: 0

Between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values encourage the model to talk about new topics.

user
string

End-user identifier passed to the upstream provider for abuse / moderation tracking. Should be stable per end-user.

logit_bias
Record<string, number>

Per-token logit bias `{ "<tokenId>": <-100..100>, ... }`. OpenAI-specific; Anthropic ignores silently.

messages[].content[].image_url
string

Attach an image on a user message. Pass a content block `{ "type": "image_url", "image_url": { "url": ... } }`. PNG / JPEG / WebP, up to 4 per request. Only models with `supportsImageInput: true` accept this block (e.g. `gpt-4o`, `claude-opus-4-7`).

Pricing

per 1,000 tokens
0.066 credits
Input 0.066 · Output 0.29 cr/1K

How billing works

  • Billed per token used, down to a thousandth of a credit.
  • A typical message (500 in, 150 out) costs about —, or 0.077 credits.
  • Prompt cache reads: — per 1K tokens (0.016 credits).

Long-prompt pricing

This model costs more upstream once a prompt passes a threshold, and we pass that through rather than cap the window or raise the price for everyone. The rate above is the first band.

Prompt lengthInput / 1KOutput / 1K
Under 32K tokens
32K – 256K tokens
256K tokens and above

The threshold counts every input token on the request, cached ones included — a 95K cache hit plus 10K of new prompt is a 105K prompt. Output is priced by the prompt’s length, so a long prompt with a short answer still pays the higher output rate.

Real-world scenarios
Per day
Per week
Per month

Estimated over 30 days, for a typical message: ~500 input + ~150 output tokens, billed to the thousandth of a credit.

A 10 000 F CFA top-up gives you about ~389 649 questions. Pay with Orange Money, MTN MoMo or M-Pesa — no Visa card needed.
