Watch for
- Priced from OpenRouter's routed market, not a first-party list price — availability and rate can shift without notice.

How to read Qwen2.5 VL 72B Instruct's pricing
Two numbers decide most of the bill: $0.80/1M for input (everything you send — prompt, context, attachments) and $1.00/1M for output (everything it generates, including hidden reasoning tokens). Output is priced 1.3× the input rate here, so the shape of your workload — how much it reads versus writes — matters as much as the headline figure. This row is OpenRouter's routed market price; it can move as providers and routing change.
