Using Alibaba with Yunxin

Address Qwen models by prefixing the model id with the alibaba slug — alibaba/<model> (for example alibaba/qwen-...). You always call the same Yunxin base URL, https://api.yuhuanstudio.com/v1, with your sk- API key; Yunxin routes the request to Alibaba's DashScope API.

Usage example

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["YUNXIN_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.yuhuanstudio.com/v1",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="alibaba/qwen-model-id",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "你好！介绍一下你自己。"},
    ],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
