Official Website: https://www.alibabacloud.com API Documentation: https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/model-studio/

Key features

Multilingual — strong Chinese and English performance, plus many other languages
Reasoning — reasoning-capable models for complex, multi-step problems
Vision — image understanding and analysis
Embeddings — text embeddings for semantic search and retrieval
Media generation — image and video generation models
Long context — large context windows for document-heavy workloads

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)

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.YUNXIN_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.yuhuanstudio.com/v1",
});

const response = await 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。" },
  ],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
