GPT-5.6 Terra vs Qwen3-Max

Side-by-side specs, pricing and capabilities. Both models run on Clade under one subscription, so you can switch between them in the same conversation.

GPT-5.6 Terra comes from OpenAI and Qwen3-Max from Alibaba. The practical difference for most people is context, price, and which input types each one accepts.

GPT-5.6 Terra holds more in a single conversation — 1.1M tokens against 256K — which matters for long documents and large codebases.

Qwen3-Max is the cheaper of the two on input tokens at $1.20 / 1M tokens.
