Qwen Qwen3 Coder, developed by Alibaba Qwen, features 480B parameters, MoE architecture and 262k-token context window. Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) code generation model developed by the Qwen team. It is optimised for agentic coding tasks such as function calling, tool use, and long-context reasoning over repositories. The model features 480 billion total parameters, with 35 billion active per forward pass (8 out of 160 experts). Pricing for the Alibaba endpoints varies by context length. Once a request is greater than 128k input tokens, the higher pricing is used. Available at $0.22/1M tokens.

Claude Opus 5.5
Claude Opus 5.5, launched 22 September 2026, is Anthropic's current Opus-line flagship, replacing Opus 5. It performs at roughly the level of Claude Fable 5.1 on most work while costing 40% less to run than Opus 5, at $4 input / $20 output per million tokens (both 20% down, cache reads cut 60% to $0.20). It leads on Terminal-Bench 4.0, GDPval-AA v2.1 and Humanity's Last Exam, and is the first Opus model to ship with Fable-5.1-class cybersecurity, biology and distillation safeguards.
Claude Sonnet 5.5
Claude Sonnet 5.5, released 28 September 2026, is the second model in Anthropic's Claude 5.5 family and the faster, lower-cost complement to Claude Opus 5.5. It keeps Sonnet 5's $2 input / $10 output per million tokens ($0.20 cache reads) while generating output over 30% faster, and scores 70.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, above Opus 5.5's 66.4%. It has a 1M-token context window, 128K max output, adaptive thinking, and is the first Sonnet with cyber and anti-distillation classifiers.
