## Alibaba Bailian / DashScope File API (QwenCloud SG)

- `storage/alibaba-bailian-dashscope-file-api` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence reported | binding per-object-cap | category Chinese LLM platform /v1/files
- needs card unknown, phone yes, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-01T18:05:08.101Z, checked 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://help.aliyun.com/zh/model-studio/openai-file-interface
- free tier: 100 GB total per workspace and 10,000 files, with no stated expiry: '百炼存储空间支持的最大文件数为10000个，总大小不超过100 GB，暂时没有有效期限制。' Per file: 150 MB for purpose=file-extract and 500 MB for purpose=batch. | unit: objects | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: Per-file: 150 MB | bytes: 150000000 | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: No metered egress on file retrieval. The legacy get-file endpoint returns a pre-signed aliyuncs.com OSS URL, i.e. served from Alibaba OSS rather than a billed gateway. | metered: yes
- identity: any-phone | detail: an email address plus a mobile number from outside the Chinese mainland, for security verification, on the international site; real-name verification is required only to use Chinese-mainland resources or to apply for a credit line, and whether a card is asked for was not read.
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - write-gated: review status (`checking` -> `available`/`rejected`) before they can be referenced [1]
  - per-object-cap (binding): Per-file: 150 MB [1]
- limits note: per-object-cap 150 MB (file-extract) / 500 MB (batch). 100 GB workspace byte cap and 10,000-file count cap, whichever hits first. Files enter a safety-review status (`checking` -> `available`/`rejected`) before they can be referenced.
- interface detail: OpenAI-compatible: base_url https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1 with the openai SDK; also https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com for international, and https://maas.qwencloudapi.com/compatible-mode/v1 for the Singapore QwenCloud brand
- tooling: openai-python with a swapped base_url; curl multipart; documented endpoints upload/retrieve/list/delete plus GET /files/{file_id}/content
- composes with: 100 GB per workspace, and workspaces are a creatable dimension. 'Never expire' is the whole point: this is the only major /v1/files endpoint found that gives permanent retention on the free tier. At 500 MB/batch file, 10,000 files = 5 TB of nominal slots against a 100 GB byte wall — the byte wall binds.
- reliability: TWO CONTRADICTORY READ PATHS depending on which generation of the API you use. The NEW Agent Studio `GET /files/{file_id}/content` documents 'only files with downloadable=true can be downloaded; files uploaded directly or copied into a session sandbox are downloadable=false and return 400' — a read gate. The file-list example on the same doc set literally shows `"downloadable": false` on a directly uploaded CSV. But the LEGACY `GET /api/v1/files/{file_id}` returns a signed OSS `url` in the metadata, which is a real read path. The docs say the legacy interface is 'mainly for compatibility with historical scenarios', so its survival is not guaranteed — probe the legacy path before relying on it. Alibaba Cloud international registration is email + mobile (any-phone); Chinese-mainland identity verification (passport/driver's licence) is only required for products deployed in mainland China.
- notes: 100 GB total per workspace; 10,000 files; NO expiry ('暂时没有有效期限制' — no validity-period limit for now). Per-file: 150 MB for purpose=file-extract, 500 MB for purpose=batch, 300 MB for fine-tune, 50 MB for the newer Agent Studio endpoint.

## Alibaba Cloud Agent Sandbox / FC / AgentRun

- `compute/alibaba-agentrun` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding request-rate | category container and VM sandbox
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-11-04T11:01:13.167Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://help.aliyun.com/zh/agent-sandbox/product-overview/billing-overview
- free tier: no credit and no free compute; the only free allowance is 15 GiB of sandbox disk, and it is withdrawn while an instance is deep-asleep or snapshot-saved | unit: GiB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1]
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): vCPU, memory and disk are billed per second by QoS tier; the page's own example is '不足 1 秒按 1 秒计算' [1]
  - per-object-cap: 15 GiB of free rootfs disk while active or shallow-asleep; deep sleep and snapshots lose it [1]
  - retention-clamped: shallow sleep is entered automatically below 0.01 core of CPU, below 1,000 bytes a second of network, or with no request; deep sleep keeps memory in a snapshot and bills the storage [1]
- limits note: not stated
- interface detail: an API, per the billing overview page: "自定义模板可通过 API 主动预热（Template Cache），减少沙箱首次启动耗时。"
- tooling: no client is named on https://help.aliyun.com/zh/agent-sandbox/product-overview/billing-overview
- composes with: the same as limits note
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- evidence note: the billing overview was read on 2026-10-22 (help.aliyun.com, Chinese). It prices three lifecycle states separately and states a 15 GiB free disk allowance. There is no free compute allowance, so the free tier is the disk and the record says so
- extras:
  - keep_rate: 1.0
  - billing_model: unclassified
  - session_cap.restart_required: no
  - session_cap.note: no vendor wall-clock cap: a user sets the caps. The automatic transition is shallow sleep, triggered by the same activity test Azure uses: under 0.01 core of CPU, under 1,000 bytes a second, or no request
  - free_tier_kind: allowance
  - granularity.min_billed_s: 1
  - burst_x: 1.0
  - ps.gib: 15
  - ps.price: billed per GiB-second past the 15 GiB allowance
  - ps.durability: rootfs; a deep-sleep snapshot holds memory as well as disk
  - ps.on_stop: yes
  - ps.on_destroy: no
  - ps.retention: until destroyed; a snapshot persists while it is billed
  - net.out: yes
  - net.in: yes
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-02: 
  - [1] 2026-10-22: three states priced separately: '活跃' bills vCPU, memory and disk; '深休眠' snapshots the whole instance including memory to persistent storage and bills disk only; '浅休眠' bills memory and disk and is entered automatically when 'CPU 消耗 < 0.01 core', '网络流量 < 1,000 Bytes/s' or '无请求触发'; and '磁盘享受 15 GiB 免费额度'. Deep sleep loses the 15 GiB free disk…

## Alibaba Cloud Model Studio Coding Plan (China site)

- `coding-subs/alibaba-cloud-model-studio-coding-plan-china` | fails-identity | evidence documented | binding request-rate | category coding subscription | tier Pro
- needs card no, phone yes, ID yes, institution no | verified 2026-11-02T15:23:25.619Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-03
- url https://help.aliyun.com/en/model-studio/coding-plan
- free tier: no free plan is listed. The plan page lists one paid plan: Pro at CNY 200 a month, with the first month at CNY 39.90 for first-time subscribers, for up to 6,000 requests per 5 hours, 45,000 requests per week and 90,000 requests per month | unit: requests | metered on: request-count | read on: 2026-11-02 | source: [1] | note: one request is one model call; new slots are restocked daily at 09:30:00 UTC+08:00
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: not applicable
- egress: not applicable | metered: no
- identity: national-id | detail: The China site registers accounts with a mobile number from the Chinese mainland and requires individual or enterprise real-name verification before any purchase or use of cloud resources. Individual verification uses a real-name verified personal Alipay account, or a name and an identity card number with a face scan. The international site is a separate account system that does not share accounts | country: CN
- interface: rest, cli
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): up to 6,000 requests per 5 hours, as a rolling window [1]
  - request-rate (binding): up to 45,000 requests per week, reset every Monday at 00:00:00 UTC+08:00 [1]
  - request-rate (binding): up to 90,000 requests per month, reset at 00:00:00 UTC+08:00 on the subscription renewal date [1]
- limits note: the same three request caps as the international edition; the first one reached pauses calls
- binding note: the identity gate fails before any quota binds and is not a term of the constraint vocabulary; the three request caps apply at once once an account exists
- interface detail: OpenAI-compatible base URL https://coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1 and Anthropic-compatible base URL https://coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic, with a plan key that starts with sk-sp-. Supported models: qwen3.7-plus, qwen3.6-plus, kimi-k2.5, glm-5 and MiniMax-M2.5, and also qwen3.5-plus
- endpoint: part of interface detail
- tooling: the clients that the vendor lists on the plan page, among them Claude Code, Qwen Code, Cursor and OpenClaw; the user sets the plan key and the plan base URL in the client
- composes with: the Qwen Code auth menu offers this plan for the Beijing region with the endpoint https://coding.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1; the international edition of the same plan has its own record and needs a different account
- reliability: Pro slots sell first come, first served with a daily restock at 09:30:00 UTC+08:00, so a plan can be sold out; a key used by scripts or application backends can be suspended or revoked
- notes: The China site edition sells the same Pro quota as the international edition at CNY 200 a month, with a first month at CNY 39.90. A user outside the Chinese mainland cannot register: the site needs a mainland mobile number and real-name verification by identity card or a verified Alipay account. The page states that model inputs and generated content are used to improve the service
- evidence note: price, quota, base URLs and the identity requirements are quoted from the vendor pages read on 2026-11-02. The quota is the vendor's published number and is not a measurement
