Use Qwen without a subscription — Alibaba's Qwen3 on Halo
Alibaba's powerful open model family — served peer-to-peer on Halo. No account, no subscription, no phone number. Pay only per prompt.
Qwen is Alibaba’s open model family — a strong, multilingual line that holds its own against much larger closed models, and a favourite for coding and reasoning. As with most Chinese models, the friction is access: accounts, regional availability, and questions about where your data goes.
Halo solves that. It’s a peer-to-peer marketplace where independent operators serve Qwen (alongside 140+ other models), reached directly — no account, no subscription, no phone number.
No subscription — pay per prompt
You top up a wallet once and pay per prompt in USDC on Base. There’s no monthly plan and nothing to cancel; you only pay for what you use.
Reachable from anywhere
No central app to geo-block means you can reach Qwen wherever an operator serves it — no region lock, no “not available in your country.”
Private by default, verifiable by design
Your prompt is encrypted to the operator, and confidential mode hides it even from the operator inside a hardware enclave (TEE). Every response carries a statistical proof that the real Qwen model produced it — not a cheaper substitute.
Which Qwen models
Operators serve the Qwen3 family, including Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6 variants, with more coming online as the network grows.
Ready to try it? Open the app and send a prompt, or read how to use Halo on the web first. Want the other model everyone’s talking about? DeepSeek is on Halo too.
Frequently asked questions
Is Qwen free on Halo?
No — but there's no subscription and no monthly fee. You pay per prompt in USDC on Base, so you only pay for what you actually use. No account, no card, no phone number. And because independent operators compete for every request, prices are often among the lowest you'll find for that model anywhere.
Do I need an Alibaba Cloud or Qwen account?
No. On Halo you connect a wallet and send a prompt — there's no signup with Alibaba or any provider, and your prompt isn't tied to a personal account.
Which Qwen models can I use?
Operators on the network serve the Qwen3 family, including Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6 variants. Availability shifts as operators come online.
Is it private and trustworthy?
Your prompt is encrypted to the operator, and confidential mode can hide it even from the operator inside a hardware enclave (TEE). Every result carries a statistical proof that the real Qwen model produced it.
