## Getting started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set an API key">
    ```bash
    openclaw onboard --auth-choice qwen-standard-api-key
    ```
  </Step>
  <Step title="Set a default video model">
    ```json5
    {
      agents: {
        defaults: {
          videoGenerationModel: {
            primary: "alibaba/wan2.6-t2v",
          },
        },
      },
    }
    ```
  </Step>
  <Step title="Verify the provider is available">
    ```bash
    openclaw models list --provider alibaba
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Relationship to Qwen">
    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.

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Auth key priority">
    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.
