Publish a Model (Image)

Target Outcome

The image model passes protocol testing, is published to the intended scope, and returns an accessible image result or URL.

Applicable Roles

• Model Provider

Before You Start

• Prepare the model source, identifier, API credential, image endpoint, and a non-sensitive test prompt.
• Confirm supported size, format, image count, synchronous or asynchronous behavior, billing, and limits.

Procedure

1. From the platform home page, select My Models in the left navigation.
2. Open My Publications. Use Public Models / Private Models to switch publication areas, or open Overview and My Aggregations when needed.
3. Select Publish Model in the upper-right corner.
4. Select a publication area:
   • Publish to Private Area makes the model visible only within the team or tenant and keeps it out of the public catalog.
   • Publish to Public Area lists the model in the public catalog for all tenants and allows independent pricing and rate limits.
5. Select Publish to Public Area to open Step 1.

Step 1: Basic Information

• Under Model Source / Meta-Model Information:
  • Select a meta-model, such as qwen-image-2.0.
  • Select a model source, such as Alibaba - China.
  • Enter the request URL, such as https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com.
  • Enter the API key in the protected field, such as sk-***.
  • Enter the exact upstream Model Source ID, such as qwen-image-2.0.

• Confirm Image Model and select the correct subtype, such as Image Editing.

• Under Request Headers, keep the default Authorization: Bearer <key> template and add only headers required by the upstream service.

• Under Model Parameters, select supported input modalities such as Text and Image and set the output modality to Image.

• Under Supported Protocols and Default Parameters:
  • Select OpenAI-Images, run the connectivity test, and enter the endpoint.
  • Configure inputs such as Prompt, Image, Mask, N, Size, Response Format, User, Negative Prompt, Prompt Extend, and Watermark.
  • Select Synchronous or Asynchronous invocation.
  • Configure result parsing with Result Path, URL Extract Field, and Base64 Extract Field.

• Enter the public Custom Identifier and description.

• Select Publish Immediately or Scheduled Publication.

• Select Next to open Step 2.

Step 2: Billing Configuration

• Select Token Billing, Per-Image Billing, or Free.
• For paid billing:
  • Enable Show Price Comparison when a reference price should be displayed.
  • Optionally enable tier configuration for context-based pricing.
  • Enable the image-count dimension and use n as the recognition field when billing per image.
  • Enter the sale price and optional original price.
  • Optionally configure a free quota, eligible-user count, and total amount.

• Select Next to open Step 3.

Step 3: Rate-Limit Configuration

• Select Enable Rate Limiting or Disabled.
• Configure default RPM and TPM values, or set either limit to Unlimited.

• Select Save Only or Submit for Review.

Completion Checklist

Purpose: These are the exit criteria for the current feature task. Use them to decide whether the result is observable and reviewable and whether you can continue to the next step in the scenario. They do not repeat the procedure; if any item fails, follow the troubleshooting section below.

Check	Pass Criteria
1	Protocol connectivity passes and the model source and identifier are accurate.
2	Publication or review status is correct.
3	A controlled call returns an accessible image result and the call log is traceable.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Check First
Protocol test fails	Endpoint, credential, model identifier, request parameters, and source network access
The image cannot be opened	Response mapping, result URL lifetime, format, callback, and content policy
