Qwen3 14B API

Alibaba Cloud, open modelqwen-3-14bModel source: Hugging Face

Thinks before answering, and you decide how much: a balance of quality and spend.

Qwen3 14B thinks before it answers, and you decide how much: a dial between quality and spend for tasks that need a few reasoning steps but not a frontier model. On GPU Flow it costs €0.20 per million input tokens and €1.00 per million output.

What it is good at

  • Reasoning with adjustable effort. You set how much it thinks before answering, so you only pay for the reasoning the task needs.
  • Tool calling for agents. Calls your functions in the standard OpenAI format and works with the result.
  • Plain-language chat and summaries. Clear answers and summaries for everyday tasks, within a context of about 70 pages.

For most workloads Qwen3.8 27B is both stronger and cheaper on output; pick Qwen3 14B when you specifically want controllable reasoning effort.

Frequently asked questions

Is Qwen3 14B free?

The model weights are open source; running them costs GPU time. On GPU Flow you pay €0.20 per million input tokens, and every new account gets €5 of credit when it adds a card.

What does the Qwen3 14B API cost?

€0.20 per million input tokens, €1.00 per million output and €0.02 per million cached input. VAT included, no monthly fee.

Does Qwen3 14B support function calling?

Yes, with the standard OpenAI tools parameter.

Can I use Qwen3 14B with Claude Code or Cursor?

Yes. Claude Code connects through the Anthropic-compatible endpoint (/v1/messages); Cursor and other tools through the OpenAI-compatible one (/v1/chat/completions).

Where does it run?

On our NVIDIA B200 GPUs, in a data centre in Spain.

How do I set the reasoning effort?

With reasoning.effort ("low", "medium", "high", or "none" to switch it off) or with reasoning.max_tokens in the OpenAI SDK; with thinking.budget_tokens in the Anthropic one. We translate it to the engine for you.

When is Qwen3 14B better than Qwen3.8 27B?

When you specifically want to control how much the model reasons on each request. For most other workloads, Qwen3.8 27B is stronger and cheaper on output.
