Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

alibaba-image-models scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 375 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Alibaba image models

Treat this skill as the production guide for Alibaba Cloud Model Studio image inference, not for local Wan checkpoints, image-to-video, model training, or legacy one-purpose Wan editing endpoints. Check the live model list before every production integration because model IDs, aliases, regions, pricing, and quotas change.

Establish the production contract

Before generating, record:

  • deliverable and channel: hero, poster, product image, character sheet, storyboard, social crop, or edit;
  • required pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, count, and file format;
  • exact text, brand colors, protected areas, and layout hierarchy;
  • reference-image roles and permission to use each reference;
  • acceptable identity/product drift and whether exact typography must be composited later;
  • target region, workspace, model ID or pinned snapshot, budget ceiling, and retention needs;
  • approval gates: low-cost sample, selected direction, edit pass, final QA.

Announce the provider, model, region, number of requested images, and estimated charge before a paid call. Generate one or two low-cost candidates first. Do not silently change a chosen model, region, or prompt-rewrite policy.

Route deliberately

The following facts were verified against Alibaba Cloud documentation on 2026-07-09.

Need Prefer Why and boundary
Broad generation, text rendering, brand palette, editing, up to nine references, bounding-box edits, or coherent sets wan2.7-image-pro Most complete current Wan route. Pure text-to-image can reach the 4K specification; edits and image sets are limited to 2K. Standard mode returns 1–4 images; sequential mode can return up to 12.
Similar Wan workflows with faster/lower-cost output wan2.7-image Same workflow family, but up to 2K. Validate quality on the actual brief.
Negative prompt or up to six variants in one synchronous request qwen-image-2.0-pro Combined generation/editing route with 1–6 PNG outputs and a documented negative prompt. Editing accepts one to three images.
Faster Qwen generation/editing qwen-image-2.0 Accelerated 2.0 route; retain the same sync protocol and test quality against Pro.
Fast, inexpensive generation-only portraits or product photos z-image-turbo One PNG output, no editing, 512×512 through 2048×2048 range. Prompt rewriting doubles its documented per-image price.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
