ModelScope API-Inference
No-cost research and development inference across 1 model; not unrestricted production use.

Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3BEquivalent paid value
How this was valued: Per-model daily maximum: 200 API-Inference calls per model per day saturated on the costliest documented standard-quota example model, Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B, with per-request ceilings taken from the served model's documented specifications (262,144 native context; 81,920 max completion tokens per the Qwen model card and the exact-model OpenRouter listing), priced at the cheapest current OpenRouter provider listing for the exact model ($0.14 input / $1.00 output per 1M) because ModelScope's API-Inference has no paid tier and the exact model is absent from Alibaba Cloud Model Studio's international catalog. Subtotal because the shared 2,000-call/day account ceiling could add concurrent per-model quotas from the large badge-gated catalog that is not enumerated here; restricted 100-call/day models (DeepSeek rows) value lower and shared account calls are counted once, not summed across models. Assumes uninterrupted saturation; access is noncommercial development-only with dynamic model-specific concurrency.

What happens to your prompts?
API-specific retention and training protections are not documented clearly enough for a stronger classification.
- Plan Scope
- ModelScope account and hosted API-Inference service; individual model licenses can add restrictions.
- Prompt Retention
- not documented
- Response Retention
- not documented
- Ordinary Logging
- The general platform privacy policy covers account, device, and usage information, but no API-content logging duration was found.
- Model Training
- No service-specific commitment excluding API prompts or outputs from training was found in the reviewed public documents.
- Product Improvement
- General platform terms permit service operation and improvement uses; API-content scope is not clearly separated.
- Human Or Operator Access
- not documented
- Subprocessors And Routing
- ModelScope and infrastructure providers process requests; model-specific licenses and publishers may create additional trust boundaries.
- Deletion Controls
- General privacy requests exist, but no API prompt/output deletion control or TTL was found.
- Caveat
- General Chinese-language platform policies exist, but the hosted inference documentation does not publish a clear prompt-retention or training matrix.
