Tongyi Qwen - Chatgpt On Wechat

Tongyi Qwen (DashScope / Bailian) is one of the most fully-featured vendors in China. Text, image understanding, image generation, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and embedding can all be enabled with a single dashscope_api_key.

<Tip> All capabilities below can be configured in one place via the "Model Management" page in the Web Console, with no need to manually edit the configuration file. </Tip>

Text Chat

json

{
  "model": "qwen3.6-plus",
  "dashscope_api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}

Parameter	Description
`model`	Can be `qwen3.6-plus`, `qwen3.7-max`, `qwen3.5-plus`, `qwen3-max`, `qwen-max`, `qwen-plus`, `qwen-turbo`, `qwq-plus`, etc.
`dashscope_api_key`	Create one in the Bailian Console; see the official docs

Image Understanding

Once dashscope_api_key is configured, the Agent's Vision tool automatically calls Qwen's vision models to recognize images. Models like qwen3-max / qwen3.5-plus / qwen3.6-plus are already multimodal; if the main model is text-only (e.g. qwen-turbo), it automatically falls back to qwen-vl-max.

To manually specify a Vision model:

json

{
  "tools": {
    "vision": {
      "model": "qwen3.6-plus"
    }
  }
}

Supported models: qwen3.6-plus, qwen3.5-plus, qwen3-max.

Image Generation

json

{
  "skills": {
    "image-generation": {
      "model": "qwen-image-2.0"
    }
  }
}

Available models: qwen-image-2.0, qwen-image-2.0-pro.

Speech-to-Text (ASR)

json

{
  "voice_to_text": "dashscope",
  "voice_to_text_model": "qwen3-asr-flash"
}

Parameter	Description

Credentials are automatically reused from dashscope_api_key. A single audio segment should be smaller than 10MB and no longer than 300 seconds.

Text-to-Speech (TTS)

json

{
  "text_to_voice": "dashscope",
  "text_to_voice_model": "qwen3-tts-flash",
