Alibaba Group Holding has slashed prices for its flagship Qwen AI models by up to 80 per cent on its Qoder agentic coding platform. The e-commerce and cloud giant said on X on Tuesday that it was cutting the price of its flagship Qwen3.7-Max model by 80 per cent and its smaller Qwen3.7-Plus model by 60 per cent for international users from 10pm to 8am Beijing time. The promotion is ongoing and will run during the same time daily. While branded as an “off-peak” discount, the timing – 10am to 8pm US Eastern Time – appears to be a calculated move to capture American users. In China, the discount applies to the platform’s Qoderwork tool, which supports AI models including Qwen. The promotion follows a separate half-price discount for Qwen3.7-Max that concluded earlier this week.
