pi-qwen_dashscope

Alibaba DashScope (ModelStudio / 百炼) provider for pi.dev — a drop-in replacement for pi-dashscope that fixes the endpoint and makes the model list dynamic.

Why this fork exists

The upstream pi-dashscope has two problems this package fixes:

1. Wrong endpoint. It defaults to coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1, which returns 401 for standard API keys (it can list models but cannot chat). This package uses the correct OpenAI-compatible endpoint https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1.
2. Static model list. Upstream hard-codes ~8 models. This package fetches the full catalog from DashScope's /v1/models, so you get every available dashscope/... model (200+) instead of a fixed short list.

What you get

• On load: 8 curated models with hand-tuned metadata (context window, thinking format) as a fallback.
• On /login (after the key is saved) and /refresh-models: the full live catalog is discovered and registered on top of the curated set (curated entries always win on id collision).
• Credentials use pi's standard auth system: run /login, pick dashscope, paste your key. /logout removes it. No extra config files.

Dynamically discovered models use best-effort heuristics for metadata (context window / thinking format inferred from the model id). They chat fine; if a specific model needs precise metadata, add it to the curated list in index.ts.

Install

pi install npm:pi-qwen_dashscope

If you currently use pi-dashscope, remove it from your settings.json packages array first to avoid double-registration of the dashscope provider.

Login & Logout（登录 / 退出）

This package uses pi's built-in /login and /logout — no custom commands. DashScope credentials are managed by pi's standard credential store, exactly like every other provider.

Command	作用
/login → choose dashscope	交互式输入并保存你的 DashScope API key。
/logout → choose dashscope	删除已保存的 API key。

/login      # 选 dashscope，粘贴 key
/logout     # 选 dashscope，清除 key

• After /login, pi refreshes the model list and registers the full live catalog (200+ models) on top of the 8 curated ones.
• The DASHSCOPE_API_KEY environment variable is also supported and takes precedence at request time over a key saved via /login:

export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY=sk-...

Get your key from the Model Studio console.

Use

In pi, press /model or Ctrl+L and pick a dashscope/... model. Use Ctrl+T to toggle thinking for models that support it.
