External Services
This plugin connects to the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio API to provide AI text generation capabilities.
Data is sent to the Model Studio API when your application code makes AI generation requests through the WordPress AI Client. The data sent includes your prompts, model configuration, and API key. No data is sent automatically — requests only occur when explicitly triggered by code using the WordPress AI Client.
