Alibaba publishes explicit context-cache pricing for qwen-plus that this
entry does not carry, so anything pricing a cached qwen-plus turn has to
fall back to the uncached input rate.
From the Model Studio pricing page (China Beijing / Global scope), base
tier (Input <= 128k):
Explicit Cache Creation 0.144 per 1M tokens
Explicit Cache Read 0.012 per 1M tokens
Both corroborate Alibaba's documented multipliers against the input rate
this entry already carries: the context-cache guide states explicit cache
creation is billed at 125% of the standard input price and an explicit
cache hit at 10%. 0.115 * 1.25 = 0.14375 (published 0.144) and
0.115 * 0.10 = 0.0115 (published 0.012).
cache_read is the EXPLICIT hit rate, matching how the other Qwen entries
in this repo are populated. Alibaba prices an implicit prefix-cache hit
separately at 20% (0.023), which this schema has no field for; raised as
an issue rather than folded in here.
