Qwen 2 is Alibaba's visual model from the Qwen family, supporting image generation and editing. Through RunAPI, all Qwen 2 endpoints share unified billing and API access.
A single RunAPI API key unlocks the whole model catalog across all providers. No separate accounts to create, no API keys to rotate per integration, and no credential management overhead. Add a new model to your app by changing one parameter.
Per-call pricing in USD, billed monthly into a single invoice. No subscription tiers, no minimum spend, and failed generations are never charged. The pricing page and check_pricing API show exact costs before you commit to a model.
Typed schemas, parameter constraints, and setup notes are packaged in the model skill so your implementation starts from the right contract. The skill loads into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and VS Code — your agent knows the correct request shape before you write a line of code.
Text-to-image and edit-image — covering generation from scratch and targeted region editing of a source image.
Tongyi Wanxiang is Alibaba's visual generation platform that powers Qwen 2. It provides the underlying image understanding and generation capabilities.
The image-edit endpoint accepts a source image and text instructions, applying targeted modifications to specific regions while preserving the rest of the image.
Yes — Qwen 2 has strong multilingual text understanding, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, for both prompt interpretation and visual content.
