  prompt: 'Hello, how can you help me today?',
});

console.log(text);

Streaming

import { qwen } from 'ali-dashscope-provider';
import { streamText } from 'ai';

const result = await streamText({
  model: qwen('qwen-plus'),
  prompt: 'Write a short story about AI.',
});

for await (const textPart of result.textStream) {
  process.stdout.write(textPart);
}

Tool Calling

Supports Vercel AI SDK tool calling syntax:

import { z } from 'zod';

const result = await generateText({
  model: qwen('qwen-max'),
  tools: {
    getWeather: tool({
      description: 'Get weather in a city',
      parameters: z.object({ city: z.string() }),
      execute: async ({ city }) => ({ city, temperature: 25 }),
    }),
  },
  prompt: 'What is the weather in Shanghai?',
});
