Alibaba Cloud bundles models, image, and video into one credit pool

Alibaba Cloud is being highlighted for a token plan that puts multiple frontier models plus image and video generation into a single credit pool.
The post claims this makes AI agents much cheaper to run: one pool covers text, image, and video, with models like Qwen 3.8-Max-Preview, DeepSeek V4 Pro, GLM-5.2, plus Wan for images and HappyHorse for video. The main angle is unified billing and lower agent operating costs.
