Processing or generating 1,000 words (approximately 1,333 tokens) with Qwen3.5 397B A17B (OpenRouter) ranges from $0.00013 (cached input) to $0.003119 (full generation).
Quick answer
For 1,000 words, Qwen3.5 397B A17B (OpenRouter) processes approximately 1,333 tokens. That costs $0.00052 as uncached input, $0.00013 with the modeled cache discount, or $0.003119 when generated as output.
Method & trust
The estimate converts the selected English word count with the model tokenizer family, then applies the published input/output price per million tokens. Real prompts vary with code, formatting, language, and system instructions.
You send 1,000 words as prompt context, documentation, or background knowledge.

For Qwen3.5 397B A17B (OpenRouter) (qwen_bpe tokenizer), 1,000 words is approximately 1,333 tokens (an average ratio of 1.33 tokens per word in English). Code, technical vocabulary, and non-English scripts will have higher token densities.
Sending 1,000 words as input costs $0.00052 (or $0.00013 with prompt caching). Generating 1,000 words as output costs $0.003119. Output tokens are more expensive because autoregressive token generation requires significantly more computation per token.
Yes! If your input text is part of a repeated context, prompt caching saves 50% to 90% (costing $0.00013). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.00026 for input, $0.00156 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 1,000 words takes approximately 4 minutes to read. In contrast, Qwen3.5 397B A17B (OpenRouter) can process or generate this text in seconds.
