Model Studio (Alibaba Cloud)

The Model Studio provider gives access to Alibaba Cloud Coding Plan models, including Qwen and third-party models hosted on the platform.
  • Provider: modelstudio
  • Auth: MODELSTUDIO_API_KEY
  • API: OpenAI-compatible

​
Quick start

  1. Set the API key:
openclaw onboard --auth-choice modelstudio-api-key
  1. Set a default model:
{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "modelstudio/qwen3.5-plus" },
    },
  },
}

​
Region endpoints

Model Studio has two endpoints based on region:
RegionEndpoint
China (CN)coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com
Globalcoding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com
The provider auto-selects based on the auth choice (modelstudio-api-key for global, modelstudio-api-key-cn for China). You can override with a custom baseUrl in config.
