# Alibaba Model Studio

KaijiBot ships a bundled `alibaba` video-generation provider for Wan models on
Alibaba Model Studio / DashScope.

- Provider: `alibaba`
- Preferred auth: `MODELSTUDIO_API_KEY`
- Also accepted: `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY`, `QWEN_API_KEY`
- API: DashScope / Model Studio async video generation

## Quick start

1. Set an API key:

```bash
kaijibot onboard --auth-choice qwen-standard-api-key
```

2. Set a default video model:

```json5
{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      videoGenerationModel: {
        primary: "alibaba/wan2.6-t2v",
      },
    },
  },
}
```

## Built-in Wan models

The bundled `alibaba` provider currently registers:

- `alibaba/wan2.6-t2v`
- `alibaba/wan2.6-i2v`
- `alibaba/wan2.6-r2v`
- `alibaba/wan2.6-r2v-flash`
- `alibaba/wan2.7-r2v`

## Current limits

- Up to **1** output video per request
- Up to **1** input image
- Up to **4** input videos
- Up to **10 seconds** duration
- Supports `size`, `aspectRatio`, `resolution`, `audio`, and `watermark`
- Reference image/video mode currently requires **remote http(s) URLs**

## Relationship to Qwen

The bundled `qwen` provider also uses Alibaba-hosted DashScope endpoints for
Wan video generation. Use:

- `qwen/...` when you want the canonical Qwen provider surface
- `alibaba/...` when you want the direct vendor-owned Wan video surface
