Qwen AI inference without an API key or credit card.
Sellable as of 2026-10-30: GET /health answers 200 and every listed model/operation returns a 402 quote in the live handshake (measured 2026-10-30T23:10Z, see quote_basis).
POST /v1/chat/completions — inference, medium latency
https://qwen.x402.press/v1/chat/completionsMeasured from the service's own 402 response on 2026-10-30T23:28:43Z — unpaid, first round only, nothing signed or settled. The exact amount is what a fixed call costs and is the price this page publishes; the quoted amount is always returned in the handshake, so a client never has to compute it.

A ceiling is only meaningful next to the max_tokens it was measured with. On Base, a metered call with max_tokens: 1000 tops out at qwen3.8-flash $0.00875 / qwen3.8-max $0.256125; the same request with no max_tokens authorises the model's whole output allowance and is the right-hand column — a worst case, never a price. Ethereum is two orders dearer because that figure carries the chain's own settle cost, not the model's. Avalanche offers no metered accept, so a call there is always the exact price.
These are exactly the seven chains the handshake answered for qwen; nothing above is a fallback or an estimate.
Two rounds, no account: send the request, read the 402, sign the amount it quotes, send it again. The first call is free to discover — a client learns the exact price before it pays anything.
