Why teams choose it

🧠

Use for Qwen-family evaluations where current coding and agent behavior matters more

than production-stable endpoint guarantees.

📎

Keep a stable fallback because preview model aliases and behavior can change.

Tradeoffs to know

  • Preview status makes it unsuitable as the only production route without fallback and regression tests.
  • Public first-party details remain limited; verify exact context, modalities, pricing, regions, and service terms.
