With custom model: Support qwen-image-max-2025-12-30 qwen-image-plus-2026-01-09 qwen-image-plus

uv run {baseDir}/scripts/generate_image.py --prompt "a beautiful sunset over mountains" --model qwen-image-plus-2026-01-09 --api-key sk-xxx

API Key

You can obtain the API key and run the image generation command in the following order.

• Get apiKey from models.providers.bailian.apiKey in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• Or get from skills."qwen-image".apiKey in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• Or get from DASHSCOPE_API_KEY environment variable
• Or Get your API key from: https://dashscope.console.aliyun.com/

Options

Sizes:

• 1664*928 (default) - 16:9 landscape
• 1024*1024 - Square format
• 720*1280 - 9:16 portrait
• 1280*720 - 16:9 landscape (smaller)

Additional flags:

• --negative-prompt "unwanted elements" - Specify what to avoid
• --no-prompt-extend - Disable automatic prompt enhancement
• --watermark - Add watermark to generated image
• --no-verify-ssl - Disable SSL certificate verification (use when behind corporate proxy)

Workflow

1. Execute the generate_image.py script with the user's prompt
2. Parse the script output and find the line starting with MEDIA_URL:
3. Extract the image URL from that line (format: MEDIA_URL: https://...)
4. Display the image to the user using markdown syntax: ![Generated Image](URL)
5. Do NOT download or save the image unless the user specifically requests it

Notes

• Supports both Chinese and English prompts
• By default, returns image URL directly without downloading
• The script prints MEDIA_URL: in the output - extract this URL and display it using markdown image syntax: ![generated image](URL)
• Always look for the line starting with MEDIA_URL: in the script output and render the image for the user
• Default negative prompt helps avoid common AI artifacts
• Images are hosted on Alibaba Cloud OSS with temporary access URLs
