Alibaba Model Studio Wan video generation in OpenClaw
You want to use Alibaba Wan video generation in OpenClaw
You need Model Studio or DashScope API key setup for video generation
Alibaba Model Studio
OpenClaw 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
Getting started
```bash
openclaw onboard --auth-choice qwen-standard-api-key
```
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
videoGenerationModel: {
primary: "alibaba/wan2.6-t2v",
},
},
},
}
```
```bash
openclaw models list --provider alibaba
```
Any of the accepted auth keys (`MODELSTUDIO_API_KEY`, `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY`, `QWEN_API_KEY`) will work. The `qwen-standard-api-key` onboarding choice configures the shared DashScope credential.

Advanced configuration
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
See the [Qwen provider docs](/providers/qwen) for more detail.
OpenClaw checks for auth keys in this order:
1. `MODELSTUDIO_API_KEY` (preferred)
2. `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY`
3. `QWEN_API_KEY`
Any of these will authenticate the `alibaba` provider.
