Alibaba Cloud Model Studio
Alibaba Cloud Model Studio is the platform layer behind Qwen API access. The homepage now highlights Qwen3.7-Max, Qwen3.6-Plus, HappyHorse 1.0 and Qwen-Plus, while the official docs still describe it as a one-stop model service platform for the broader Qwen and third-party LLM stack. The same docs expose official Qwen APIs and OpenAI-compatible APIs, and document Singapore, US (Virginia), Germany (Frankfurt) and Mainland China deployment modes. They also cover API keys, model selection and migration from existing OpenAI code paths.
