Aliyun Model Studio CLI

The official command-line interface for Aliyun Model Studio (DashScope) AI Platform

npm version Node.js TypeScript License

Aliyun Model Studio CLI Site · 中文文档 · API Documentation · Get API Key

Chat with Qwen, generate and edit images and videos, understand images, synthesize and recognize speech, call apps, manage memory, retrieve knowledge, search the web — every AI capability, one command away.

Built for AI Agents. Every command works as a structured tool call.

Features

  • Model generation — Full-modality generation across text, image, video, and speech, with editing and reference-based generation
  • Asset understanding — Parse and ask questions about images, documents, audio, and long videos
  • App orchestration — Call Managed Agents, agents, and workflows published on Aliyun Model Studio, wired to knowledge bases, memory, web search, and MCP tools
  • Native MCP setup — Register Bailian MCP servers in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Qoder, Qoder Work, QwenWork (千问办公), Qwen Code, or Gemini CLI with channel attribution preserved
  • Training & deployment — Validate and upload datasets, fine-tune models, deploy dedicated models as endpoints
  • Account operations — Login, UI-based configuration, model marketplace, usage and quota, rate-limit increases, team seat management
  • Plan onboarding — Connect subscription plans such as Token Plan to the CLI and common coding agents in one step

Note: App orchestration, native MCP setup, training & deployment, account operations, and plan onboarding are currently available only to China site (aliyun.com) account holders and are not yet supported for international / global site accounts.

Showcase 1: A Cinematic Short Film from One Sentence

Click to play the demo video

👆 Click the cover to play the full 2-minute demo

A complete 2-minute, 16:9 cinematic short film — produced end-to-end from a single natural-language sentence, with zero manual editing. This showcase demonstrates how an AI Agent can compose a multi-step creative pipeline by orchestrating three primitives:

  • Qwen Code — the agentic coding model that interprets the user's intent and drives the workflow
  • Aliyun Model Studio CLI — invokes HappyHorse 1.1, Aliyun Model Studio's text-/image-/reference-to-video generation model
  • spark-video Skill — handles scene decomposition, storyboarding, shot continuity, and final stitching

The single prompt

"Generate a roughly 2-minute video in Japanese cinematic style — a sweet, innocent first-love story about a high-school girl. The plot should be heart-fluttering enough to make viewers want to fall in love. Aspect ratio: 16:9."

Showcase 2: A Short-Film Director Managed Agent from One Sentence

Click to play the demo video

👆 Click the cover to play the full demo

One sentence builds a reusable cloud-side short-film director for storyboarding, storyboard image generation, and video creation:

  • Qwen Code — understands the requirement and generates the agent configuration
  • Aliyun Model Studio CLI — validates the configuration, previews the changes, and completes the deployment
  • Managed Agent — runs the director role along with its skills and tools in the cloud

The single prompt

"Build me a Managed Agent app that can produce short films — a director expert that generates videos and can also design the matching storyboards."

Installation

Agent install (recommended)

Send the following to your Agent — it will detect your environment, then install and verify the CLI for you:

Please read https://bailian.aliyun.com/cli/install.md and install the Aliyun Model Studio CLI for me

Install with NPM

npm install -g bailian-cli
bl skill init

Requires Node.js >= 18.17.

Install on macOS/Linux

curl -fsSL https://bailian.aliyun.com/cli/install.sh | bash

No Node.js required. The installer automatically installs Bailian Skills.

Install on Windows

irm https://bailian.aliyun.com/cli/install.ps1 | iex

No Node.js required. The installer automatically installs Bailian Skills.

Quick Start

Once installed, just describe your task to your AI Agent — no need to assemble commands by hand.

Scenario What to say to your Agent
Managed Agent "Create a Managed Agent that can generate short-film storyboards and videos."
Image & video generation "Generate an image of a cat in a spacesuit on Mars, then turn it into a video."
Speech recognition "Transcribe this audio; if proper nouns are wrong, add hot words and try again."
Usage & quota "Show my recent model usage, free-tier quota, and rate limits."
Monitoring & alerts "Show my model call stats, failures and logs, and create an alert rule."
Throughput reservations "List my throughput reservations and capacity instances, then scale, renew or release capacity and wait for the operation to finish."
Model selection "Recommend a model for image understanding and customer support."
About Bailian CLI "Tell me what Bailian CLI can do for me, and suggest how to use it for my needs."

Authentication

Console Login (OAuth, Recommended)

Required for console capability commands (model list, app list, MCP list, workspace, usage queries, rate-limit increases, direct console calls). It can create an ordinary API key when needed. Token Plan and other subscription plans cannot use --console; use the API Key login below.

bl auth login --console

Use --console-site international for the international console.

API Key

To use an existing ordinary API key or a Token Plan subscription key, run the same command:

bl auth login --api-key <API_KEY>

Get an ordinary key from the DashScope Console, or a Token Plan key from the subscription overview.

Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI AK/SK

Token Plan seat and member management requires an Alibaba Cloud AccessKey. Get yours from the RAM Console.

Recommended: create a RAM sub-account with minimum privileges instead of using the root account's AK/SK.

bl auth login --open-api --access-key-id LTAI5t... --access-key-secret ...
