Alibaba Cloud Model Studio:Quick start

Last Updated:Jul 22, 2026

Complete Token Plan Team Edition subscription and integration in three steps: choose a plan, get your API Key, and configure your AI tool.

Step 1: Subscribe to Token Plan Team Edition

Go to the Token Plan Team Edition purchase page, select a seat tier and subscription period, and complete the subscription. Both primary accounts and RAM users can subscribe.

Notes before purchasing:

  • Before a RAM user can use Token Plan, the primary account must grant the AliyunTokenPlanReadOnlyAccess (read-only) or AliyunTokenPlanFullAccess (management) system policy in the RAM console, and assign the Administrator or Subscribe Plan role on the Account Management page of the Bailian console.

Step 2: Get the API Key and Base URL

  • API Key: On the Member Management page or Admin Platform in the Token Plan console, create member accounts, assign seats, and generate API Keys for members. For details, see Team Management.

    API Key usage notes:

    • Before generating an API Key, you must assign a seat to the corresponding account on the Member Management page.

    • Token Plan API Keys are displayed in full only once when created or reset. After that, the console only shows masked information (e.g., sk-sp-****). Copy and save the key immediately when it is generated.

    • Token Plan API Keys start with sk-sp-, which differs from the standard Model Studio API Key format (starting with sk-). The two types are not interchangeable.

  • Base URL: Select the Base URL that corresponds to the protocol supported by your AI tool.

Protocol

Base URL

OpenAI-compatible

https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1

Anthropic-compatible

https://token-plan.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic

Important

The API Keys and Base URLs for Token Plan, Coding Plan, and pay-as-you-go are completely isolated and must be used in matching pairs. Do not mix them.

  • Token Plan Team Edition: Use the dedicated API Key starting with sk-sp- + the Base URL in the table above.

  • Coding Plan: Use the Coding Plan dedicated API Key + https://coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1.

  • Pay-as-you-go: Use the standard API Key (starting with sk-) + https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1.

If you purchased Token Plan but use a standard API Key or a Base URL from another billing mode, your calls will be routed to the pay-as-you-go channel (causing unexpected charges) or return a 401/403 authentication error.

Step 3: Connect to an AI tool

Configure the API Key and Base URL in your AI tool to start using the service.

Optional: Connect to multimodal generation models

Token Plan Team Edition supports image generation models (such as qwen-image-2.0 and wan2.7-image). Image generation models use dedicated endpoints and require integration through your AI tool's Skill or extension mechanism. For details, see Connect to multimodal generation models.

Optional: Connect to Harness tools

Some models support invoking extended capabilities such as web search and code interpreter through the Responses API. For details, see Connect to Harness tools.
