Qwen2.5 72B Instruct is a reference profile: Alibaba Qwen publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call.
Qwen2.5 72B Instruct is an independent knowledge profile. It does not claim that Kendr hosts the model, quote a Kendr customer price, promise API availability, or advertise a Kendr routing receipt.
Qwen2.5 72B Instruct accepts text and returns text. The snapshot records structured output, text generation, and tool calling as capabilities or interfaces.
The dated reference snapshot lists $0.36 input and $0.4 output per million tokens.
No comparable third-party benchmark value is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. Missing values are not estimated.
No comparable popularity rank or traffic share is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. No comparable routing rank or traffic-share observation is attached to this dated profile; missing adoption evidence is not estimated.
Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-09-06 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated.

When to pick Qwen2.5 72B Instruct
Qwen2.5 72B Instruct is a reference profile: Alibaba Qwen publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call.
Each condition below is derived from this model's own values in the 2026-09-06 snapshot, compared only against models publishing the same field.
- Reach for it when the model has to call tools. Tool calling is recorded in the snapshot, so this route can drive an agent loop rather than only answer in prose.
- Look elsewhere when you need to call it through Kendr today. This is a research reference profile with no Kendr alias. The facts and evidence here are published for comparison; the model is not routable on Kendr.
- Look elsewhere when the prompt is long. The 33K-token context window is in the bottom quarter of the 163 models publishing a limit. Long documents need chunking or a wider-context route.
