summary: "Use Qwen Cloud through its OpenClaw plugin"
read_when:
- You want to use Qwen with OpenClaw
- You have an Alibaba Cloud Token Plan subscription
title: "Qwen"
---
Qwen Cloud is an official external OpenClaw provider plugin with canonical id `qwen`. It targets Qwen Cloud / Alibaba DashScope Standard and Coding Plan endpoints, exposes Token Plan as `qwen-token-plan`, keeps `modelstudio` as a compatibility alias, and independently owns Alibaba's documented `bailian-token-plan` custom-provider id.
| Property | Value |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Provider | `qwen` |
| Token Plan provider | `qwen-token-plan` |
| Preferred env var | `QWEN_API_KEY` |
| Token Plan env var | `QWEN_TOKEN_PLAN_API_KEY` |
| Also accepted (compat) | `MODELSTUDIO_API_KEY`, `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` |
| API style | OpenAI-compatible |
<Tip>
`qwen3.7-plus` and `qwen3.6-plus` work with Coding Plan and Standard endpoints.
For `qwen3.8-max` or `qwen3.8-flash`, use **Standard (pay-as-you-go)** or **Token Plan**.
The older Coding Plan does not include these models. `qwen3.7-max` and
`qwen3.6-flash` also require Standard or Token Plan.
</Tip>
## Install plugin
`qwen` ships as an official external plugin, not bundled with core. Install it and restart Gateway:
```bash
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/qwen-provider
openclaw gateway restart
```
## Getting started
Choose your plan type and follow the setup steps.
<Tabs>
<Tab title="Coding Plan (subscription)">

<Note>
Legacy `modelstudio-*` auth-choice ids and `modelstudio/...` model refs still
work as compatibility aliases, but new setup flows should prefer the canonical
`qwen-*` auth-choice ids and `qwen/...` model refs. If you define an exact
custom `models.providers.modelstudio` entry with another `api` value, that
custom provider owns `modelstudio/...` refs instead of the Qwen compatibility
alias.

<Tab title="Standard (pay-as-you-go)">
**Best for:** pay-as-you-go access through the Standard Model Studio endpoint, including `qwen3.8-max` and `qwen3.8-flash`, which are not available on the older Coding Plan.

```bash
openclaw models list --provider qwen-token-plan
openclaw agent --model qwen-token-plan/qwen3.7-plus --message "Reply with: token plan ready"
```
</Step>
</Steps>
<Note>
Alibaba's OpenClaw guide uses `bailian-token-plan` for a manual custom
provider. The plugin registers that id as a compatibility owner, but new
configs should use `qwen-token-plan`. An exact custom
`models.providers.bailian-token-plan` entry keeps ownership of its configured
transport and catalog; it is never merged into the canonical OpenAI catalog.
</Note>
<Warning>
Use Token Plan only for interactive OpenClaw sessions. Do not select it for
cron jobs, unattended scripts, or application backends. Alibaba states that
non-interactive use can suspend the subscription or revoke its API key.
</Warning>

## Retired Qwen Portal authentication
The `qwen-oauth` Portal provider and its legacy OAuth flow have been removed.
Portal tokens are not interchangeable with Qwen Cloud or DashScope API keys.
Using the current Qwen plugin requires fresh API-key authentication for the
chosen endpoint and updated model configuration. Follow
[Install plugin](/providers/qwen#install-plugin) and
[Getting started](/providers/qwen#getting-started); existing Portal credentials
are not converted automatically.
## Plan types and endpoints
| Plan | Region | Auth choice | Endpoint |
| -------------------------- | ------ | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Coding Plan (subscription) | China | `qwen-api-key-cn` | `coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1` |
| Coding Plan (subscription) | Global | `qwen-api-key` | `coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1` |
| Standard (pay-as-you-go) | China | `qwen-standard-api-key-cn` | `dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1` |
| Standard (pay-as-you-go) | Global | `qwen-standard-api-key` | `dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1` |
| Token Plan (Team Edition) | China | `qwen-token-plan-cn` | `token-plan.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1` |
| Token Plan (Team Edition) | Global | `qwen-token-plan` | `token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1` |
The provider auto-selects the endpoint based on your auth choice. Canonical
choices use the `qwen-*` family; `modelstudio-*` remains compatibility-only.
Override with a custom `baseUrl` in config.

## Built-in catalog
Setup keeps connection settings and model aliases, including `modelstudio` aliases, without copying generated catalog rows into your config.
Explicit `models.mode: "replace"` keeps catalog seeding enabled; custom model rows stay intact.
OpenClaw discovers models from the configured endpoint's authenticated `/models`
API. The plugin keeps the following seed metadata for offline discovery and for
endpoints that return only model IDs. Coding Plan configs omit models that are
not included in that plan; a Standard model listing does not establish Token
Plan or Coding Plan access.
| Model ref | Input | Context | Notes |
| --------------------------- | ----------- | --------- | ----------------------- |
| `qwen/qwen3.5-plus` | text, image | 1,000,000 | Default model |
| `qwen/qwen3.6-flash` | text, image | 1,000,000 | Standard endpoints only |
| `qwen/qwen3.6-plus` | text, image | 1,000,000 | Coding Plan + Standard |
| `qwen/qwen3.7-max` | text | 1,000,000 | Standard endpoints only |
| `qwen/qwen3.7-plus` | text, image | 1,000,000 | Coding Plan + Standard |
| `qwen/qwen3.8-max` | text, image | 1,000,000 | Standard endpoints only |
| `qwen/qwen3.8-flash` | text, image | 1,000,000 | Standard endpoints only |
| `qwen/qwen3-max-2026-01-23` | text | 262,144 | Qwen Max line |
| `qwen/qwen3-coder-next` | text | 262,144 | Coding |
| `qwen/qwen3-coder-plus` | text | 1,000,000 | Coding |
| `qwen/MiniMax-M2.5` | text | 1,000,000 | Reasoning enabled |
| `qwen/glm-5` | text | 202,752 | GLM |
| `qwen/glm-4.7` | text | 202,752 | GLM |
| `qwen/kimi-k2.5` | text, image | 262,144 | Moonshot AI via Alibaba |
<Note>
Availability can still vary by endpoint and billing plan even when a model is
present in the seed catalog. Additional chat models returned by the endpoint can
appear without a plugin update. For locally hosted models, use the
[Ollama](/providers/ollama) or [LM Studio](/providers/lmstudio) discovery flow.
</Note>
### Token Plan catalog
Token Plan uses a separate exact-string allowlist. The built-in catalog shows
Alibaba's currently recommended plan models and keeps the newer Qwen3-Coder
compatibility tier selectable but hidden. Other allowlisted model IDs remain
available as custom model refs. Image-generation-only plan models are not
included here because they use different APIs.
| Model ref | Input | Context | Picker status |
| ---------------------------------- | ----------- | --------- | ------------- |
| `qwen-token-plan/qwen3.7-plus` | text, image | 1,000,000 | visible |
| `qwen-token-plan/qwen3.8-max` | text, image | 1,000,000 | visible |
| `qwen-token-plan/qwen3.8-flash` | text, image | 1,000,000 | visible |
| `qwen-token-plan/qwen3.6-plus` | text, image | 1,000,000 | visible |
| `qwen-token-plan/qwen3-coder-next` | text | 262,144 | hidden |
| `qwen-token-plan/kimi-k2.5` | text, image | 262,144 | visible |
| `qwen-token-plan/glm-5` | text | 202,752 | visible |
| `qwen-token-plan/MiniMax-M2.5` | text | 196,608 | visible |
## Thinking controls
`qwen3.8-max` and `qwen3.8-flash` support `off`, `low`, `medium`, and `xhigh`
thinking, with `xhigh` as the default. `minimal` maps to `low`; `high` and `max`
map to `xhigh`. This applies to Standard and Token Plan. Both models support
131,072 output tokens. OpenClaw preserves returned reasoning in its separate
`reasoning_content` replay field during tool use, rather than placing it in
visible answer text.
An explicit `thinking_budget` in request parameters takes precedence over the
mapped `reasoning_effort`: Qwen rejects requests containing both. See the
[Qwen thinking reference](https://docs.qwencloud.com/developer-guides/text-generation/thinking).
`qwen3.7-max`, `qwen3.7-plus`, `qwen3.6-flash`, and `qwen3.6-plus` are
reasoning-enabled in the built-in catalog. For reasoning models on the `qwen`
family, the provider maps OpenClaw thinking levels to DashScope's top-level
`enable_thinking` request flag: disabled thinking sends `enable_thinking: false`,
any other level sends `enable_thinking: true`. Custom models can opt into an
alternate chat-template thinking payload by setting
`compat.thinkingFormat: "qwen-chat-template"` on the model entry.
Token Plan models are also marked reasoning-capable. `kimi-k2.7-code` and
`MiniMax-M2.5` are thinking-only, so OpenClaw keeps thinking enabled even when
the session requests `/think off`. DeepSeek V4 maps `minimal` through `high` to
the service's `high` effort and maps `xhigh` or `max` to `max`. GLM 5.2 accepts
the full `minimal` through `max` range; GLM 5.1 and GLM 5 accept through
`xhigh`, and all three default to `high`. Other hybrid models follow the
requested on/off state.
## Multimodal add-ons
The `qwen` plugin exposes multimodal capabilities on the **Standard** DashScope
endpoints only, not the Coding Plan endpoints:
- **Image and video understanding** via `qwen3.6-plus`
- **Wan video generation** via `wan2.6-t2v` (default), `wan2.6-i2v`, `wan2.6-r2v`, `wan2.6-r2v-flash`, `wan2.7-r2v`
Media understanding is auto-resolved from the configured Qwen auth; no extra
config is needed. Make sure you are on a Standard (pay-as-you-go) endpoint for
media understanding to work.
To make Qwen the default video provider:
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
mediaModels: { video: { primary: "qwen/wan2.6-t2v" } },
},
},
}
```
Each Wan model advertises only its matching runtime mode:
| Mode | Models | Reference limits | Max duration | Supported controls |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Text-to-video | `wan2.6-t2v` | n/a | 15 s | `size`, `aspectRatio`, `resolution`, `audio`, `watermark` |
| Image-to-video | `wan2.6-i2v` | 1 image | 15 s | `resolution`, `audio`, `watermark` |
| Reference-to-video (Wan 2.6) | `wan2.6-r2v`, `wan2.6-r2v-flash` | 5 total images/videos; up to 3 videos | 10 s | `size`, `aspectRatio`, `resolution`, `audio`, `watermark` |
| Reference-to-video (Wan 2.7) | `wan2.7-r2v` | 5 total images/videos; up to 3 videos | 10 s | `size`, `aspectRatio`, `resolution`, `watermark`; audio is always on |
Wan 2.6 text/reference models translate `resolution` plus `aspectRatio` to the
documented exact `size`. Wan 2.6 image-to-video sends the `resolution` tier and
uses the input image's aspect ratio. Wan 2.7 reference-to-video sends
`media`, `resolution`, and `ratio` and always generates audio.
Reference image/video inputs require remote http(s) URLs; local file paths are
rejected up front because the DashScope video endpoint does not accept uploaded
local buffers for those references.

## Advanced configuration
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion title="Qwen model availability">
`qwen3.7-plus` and `qwen3.6-plus` are available on Coding Plan and Standard endpoints. For `qwen3.8-max`, `qwen3.8-flash`, `qwen3.7-max`, or `qwen3.6-flash`, use Standard or Token Plan. The Standard (pay-as-you-go) endpoints are:
- China: `dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`
- Global: `dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`
OpenClaw omits these models from Coding Plan catalogs. If a Coding Plan
endpoint returns an "unsupported model" error, switch to the matching
Standard or Token Plan endpoint and its dedicated key.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Video generation region routing">
OpenClaw maps the configured Qwen region to the matching DashScope AIGC host
before submitting a video job:
- Global/Intl: `https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com`
- China: `https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com`
A normal `models.providers.qwen.baseUrl` pointing at either the Coding Plan
or Standard Qwen hosts still routes video generation to the matching
regional DashScope video endpoint.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Streaming usage compatibility">
Native Qwen endpoints advertise streaming usage compatibility on the shared
`openai-completions` transport, so DashScope-compatible custom provider ids
targeting the same native hosts inherit the same behavior without requiring
the built-in `qwen` provider id specifically. This applies to Coding Plan,
Standard, and Token Plan endpoints:
- `https://coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1`
- `https://coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1`
- `https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`
- `https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`
- `https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`
- `https://token-plan.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Capability plan">
The `qwen` plugin is being positioned as the vendor home for the full Qwen
Cloud surface, not just coding/text models.
- **Text/chat models:** available through the plugin
- **Tool calling, structured output, thinking:** inherited from the OpenAI-compatible transport
- **Image generation:** planned at the provider-plugin layer
- **Image/video understanding:** available through the plugin on the Standard endpoint
- **Speech/audio:** planned at the provider-plugin layer
- **Memory embeddings/reranking:** planned through the embedding adapter surface
- **Video generation:** available through the plugin through the shared video-generation capability
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Environment and daemon setup">
If the Gateway runs as a daemon (launchd/systemd), make sure `QWEN_API_KEY`
or `QWEN_TOKEN_PLAN_API_KEY` is available to that process (for example, in
`~/.openclaw/.env` or via `env.shellEnv`).
