Editorial Analysis

Profile. Qwen2.5 Turbo is a budget-tier option from Alibaba at $0.20/M output tokens. Despite the low price, it scores competitively on measurable benchmarks — making it a candidate for high-volume production workloads where unit cost dominates.

Latency. On latency, Qwen2.5 Turbo reports 108 tok/s output speed and 2160ms time-to-first-token. Output speed is in the normal range — most chat and completion applications will be token-bound, not streaming-bound.

Cost model. For a workload of 1M input tokens + 100K output tokens, Qwen2.5 Turbo costs $0.07 per million input-equivalent requests. Multiply by your monthly request volume to project the bill, and compare against the speed/correctness profile above to decide if the trade-off is worth it for your workload.
