Artificial Analysis has the newly released Alibaba model at the top of its cohort: 27B reasoning model, 256K context, image input, Apache 2.0 permitting commercial use. The caveat in the eval data matters more than the headline: it emitted 160M output tokens across the benchmark suite versus a 43M median. Extended thinking makes it far more verbose than peers, so real cost per task will not track its headline price. Budget accordingly.
