A complete **2-minute, 16:9 cinematic short film** — produced end-to-end from a single natural-language sentence, with **zero manual editing**. This showcase demonstrates how an AI Agent can compose a multi-step creative pipeline by orchestrating three primitives: - **[Qwen Code](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code)** — the agentic coding model that interprets the user's intent and drives the workflow - **[Aliyun Model Studio CLI](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cli?source_channel=cli_github&)** — invokes **HappyHorse 1.0**, Aliyun Model Studio's text-/image-/reference-to-video generation model - **[spark-video Skill](https://github.com/JohnKeating1997/spark-video)** — handles scene decomposition, storyboarding, shot continuity, and final stitching ### The single prompt > _"Generate a roughly 2-minute video in Japanese cinematic style — a sweet, innocent first-love story about a high-school girl. The plot should be heart-fluttering enough to make viewers want to fall in love. Aspect ratio: 16:9."_ > > _(Original: "帮我生成一段日系影视风格，高中女生的青涩初恋故事，剧情高甜，让人看了想谈恋爱，2分钟左右的视频，尺寸是16:9")_ ### How it works 1. **Qwen Code** parses the request, plans the narrative beats, and decides which tools to call. 2. The **spark-video Skill** breaks the story into shots, writes per-shot prompts, and enforces visual continuity (characters, lighting, palette, lens language). 3. **`bl video generate`** dispatches each shot to **HappyHorse 1.0** in parallel. 4. The skill stitches all clips back together into a single 16:9 / ~2-min deliverable. No timeline scrubbing. No frame-by-frame editing. Just one sentence → one video. ## Installation ```bash npm install -g bailian-cli npx skills add modelstudioai/cli --all -g ``` > Requires Node.js >= 22.12. ## Quick Start ```bash # Authenticate, recommended bl auth login --console # Or authenticate with an API key bl auth login --api-key sk-xxxxx # Chat with Qwen bl text chat --message "What is DashScope?" # Multimodal chat (text + image + audio + video) bl omni --message "Describe this image" --image ./photo.jpg # Generate an image bl image generate --prompt "A cat in a spacesuit" --out-dir ./images/ # Generate a video from local image bl video generate --image ./cat.png --prompt "Make the cat move" --download cat.mp4 # Model recommendation — find the best model for your use case bl advisor recommend --message "I need a visual-understanding chatbot" # Compare specific models bl advisor recommend --message "qwen-max vs deepseek-v3 for code generation" # Browser login (required for console capability commands) bl auth login --console # Browse apps / free-tier quota bl app list bl usage free --model qwen3-max ``` > More examples and scenarios: [Aliyun Model Studio CLI Site](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cli?source_channel=cli_github&) ## Authentication ### DashScope API Key Required for most commands. Get your key from the [DashScope Console](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cli?source_channel=key_github&). ```bash # Option 1: Environment variable export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY=sk-xxxxx # Option 2: Login command (persisted to ~/.bailian/config.json) bl auth login --api-key sk-xxxxx # Option 3: Per-command flag bl text chat --api-key sk-xxxxx --message "Hello" ``` ### Console Login (OAuth) Required for console capability commands (`app list`, `usage free`). Opens the Bailian console in your browser to sign in. ```bash bl auth login --console ``` ### Alibaba Cloud AK/SK (Knowledge Base only) Required for `knowledge retrieve`. Get your AccessKey from [RAM Console](https://ram.console.aliyun.com/manage/ak). > Recommended: create a RAM sub-account with minimum privileges instead of using the root account's AK/SK. ```bash export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID=LTAI5t... export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET=... export BAILIAN_WORKSPACE_ID=ws-... ``` ## Configuration ```bash # View current config bl config show # Set defaults bl config set --key region --value us bl config set --key default_text_model --value qwen-turbo bl config set --key timeout --value 600 # Self-update to latest version bl update ``` Config file location: `~/.bailian/config.json` ## Links | Resource | URL | | :--------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------- | | Aliyun Model Studio CLI Site | https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cli?source_channel=cli_github& | | DashScope API Docs | https://help.aliyun.com/zh/model-studio/ | | Qwen Model List | https://help.aliyun.com/zh/model-studio/getting-started/models | | Aliyun Model Studio Console | https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/ | | Get API Key | https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cli?source_channel=key_github& | | Get AccessKey | https://ram.console.aliyun.com/manage/ak | ## Changelog Release notes for every version live in [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/modelstudioai/cli/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md). ## Contributing Bug reports, feature requests, and PRs are welcome.
