When to use this skill
Use this skill for calling AI models in WeChat Mini Program using wx.cloud.extend.AI.
Use it when you need to:
- Integrate AI text generation in a Mini Program
- Stream AI responses with callback support
- Call Hunyuan models from the WeChat environment
Do NOT use for:
- Browser/Web apps → use
ai-model-webskill - Node.js backend or cloud functions → use
ai-model-nodejsskill - Image generation → use
ai-model-nodejsskill (not available in Mini Program) - Runtimes without a CloudBase SDK (native apps, Python, etc.) → use
http-api-cloudbaseskill (it now includes theai_modelOpenAPI spec for direct HTTP calls)
⛔ STOP — wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel(provider) argument is not a vendor / model name
Read this before writing any createModel(...) line. Agents frequently hallucinate this argument. There are exactly four legal shapes. Anything else is a bug.
✅ Legal createModel(provider) argument | When to use it |
|---|---|
"cloudbase" | Default, including 小程序成长计划. Main managed group (TokenHub-backed, multi-vendor pool). Growth Plan quota draws on cloudbase + hy3 — enable hy3 first. Vendor + concrete model go into the model field, e.g. { model: "deepseek-v4-flash" }. |
"hunyuan-v3" | Legacy plan group, being retired. Only hy3 is available and no new models are added. Existing plan-enrolled code keeps working; new code uses cloudbase + hy3. |
"hunyuan-exp" | Older legacy builtin group — only if DescribeAIModels still returns it. Its default hunyuan-2.0-instruct-20251111 went offline on 2026-05-31; never target that id. |
"custom-<your-name>" | A user-defined GroupName you onboarded via CreateAIModel. Must start with custom- (e.g. custom-kimi, custom-openai-compat). |
❌ Do NOT write any of these — they are all wrong
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("deepseek") // wrong — vendor, not GroupName
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("deepseek-v4-flash") // wrong — model id goes in `model`
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("hunyuan") // wrong — vendor family
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("hunyuan-2.0-instruct-20251111") // wrong — model name
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("glm") / "kimi" / "minimax" // wrong — vendor names
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("custom") // wrong — placeholder
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel(modelName) // wrong — do not reuse the model-id variable
✅ Correct pattern — provider vs model are two different fields
// Growth Plan branch (enable hy3 in the console first)
const model = wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("cloudbase"); // ← provider / GroupName
await model.streamText({
data: { model: "hy3", messages: [...] } // ← concrete model id
});
// Token Credits branch
const model = wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("cloudbase");
await model.streamText({
data: { model: "deepseek-v4-flash", messages: [...] }
});
Decision procedure (when the user names a specific model)
- The user says "use DeepSeek v3.2" / "use hunyuan thinking" / "use Kimi k2.6" / …
- First run the eligibility decision tree below — the provider is
"cloudbase"in almost every case, including Growth Plan environments (cloudbase+hy3)."hunyuan-v3"only appears in existing code that already used it;"hunyuan-exp"only ifDescribeAIModelsstill returns that older group. - Put the model id into the
modelfield insidedata:{ model: "deepseek-v3.2" },{ model: "hy3" },{ model: "kimi-k2.6" }, … - Before using the model id, make sure it is present in
DescribeAIModels({ GroupName: "cloudbase" }).Models[]. If not, enable it viaUpdateAIModel.
If you are about to type
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel(and the thing inside the parentheses is a vendor name or a model id — stop. It is almost certainly one of the four legal values above.
Mandatory Two-Step Preflight
You MUST NOT jump straight into wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel(...). Before writing any business code, confirm billing eligibility and group readiness in this fixed order: ① eligibility → ② group readiness. Do not swap the two.
Preflight ① · Billing Eligibility (two parallel billing paths)
The Mini Program side has two billing paths: 小程序成长计划 (checked first) and Token Credits 资源包 (generic fallback). Both settle through the cloudbase main managed group — on the plan, the model is hy3 and the plan quota is drawn first; hunyuan-v3 is the legacy plan group that only draws plan quota and is being retired.

Fetch
envIdvia the MCP toolqueryEnv action=info. -
Pick the branch by user intent:
| User intent | Eligibility to check first | createModel provider on hit | Model selection | Guidance on miss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No model specified / default call | Check 小程序成长计划 enrollment first; if not enrolled, fall back to Token Credits resource pack | "cloudbase" in both cases | Enrolled: hy3 (the 成长计划 text model — enable it in the "cloudbase" group first). Otherwise: pick a text model with the user, then verify/enable it in the "cloudbase" group via DescribeAIModels → DescribeManagedAIModelList → UpdateAIModel | Plan not enrolled → point to https://docs.cloudbase.net/ai/ai-inspire-plan; resource pack missing → purchase link |
User requests a hunyuan-* model | 小程序成长计划 enrollment | "cloudbase" (+ hy3 for the plan quota) | Verify the exact Model in DescribeAIModels({ GroupName: "cloudbase" }).Models[] and enable it via UpdateAIModel if missing | Enrolled but the model is missing → enable it; not enrolled → point to the plan page, or use "cloudbase" + the resource pack |
User requests deepseek-* / glm-* / kimi-* / minimax-* / other non-hunyuan managed models | Token Credits 资源包 activation | "cloudbase" | Do NOT assume the model is already enabled. DescribeAIModels → if missing, DescribeManagedAIModelList for the canonical Model string → UpdateAIModel with Status: 1 (full-replacement Models[]) | Resource pack not activated → purchase link |
| User requests a third-party / self-hosted (non-managed) model | Skip billing eligibility and go to "Custom onboarding" | Custom GroupName (must start with custom-) | Registered via CreateAIModel.Models[] | Offer both console + CreateAIModel paths |
- Check 小程序成长计划 enrollment:
callCloudApi({
service: "tcb",
action: "DescribeActivityInfo",
params: {
ActivityNames: ["ai_miniprogram_inspire_plan"], // PascalCase preferred; switch to camelCase if InvalidParameter is returned
},
})
Hit criterion: the response's attendRecords contains at least one entry where activityName === "ai_miniprogram_inspire_plan" and envId matches the current environment. On hit, use createModel("cloudbase") + model: "hy3" (enable hy3 in the group first); the call draws the plan's free quota. Legacy code on createModel("hunyuan-v3") + hy3 still works but that group is being retired — migrate it to cloudbase.
⚠️ The gifted Token is source-scoped. It applies to Mini Program client calls and administrator-identity calls (console playground, calls made inside a cloud function) only. A call from any other origin does not draw on it and settles against the environment's resource-point pool instead — which is what a user sees as "the Token pack did not apply, resource points were charged". When a report sounds like that, check the call origin before touching the code or the model config. Same rule for the Token Credits pack path below.
On miss: do NOT silently fall back. Tell the user "the current environment is not enrolled in 小程序成长计划", surface the enrollment entry https://docs.cloudbase.net/ai/ai-inspire-plan, and ask whether to enroll and retry, or to switch to the Token Credits resource pack path with a non-hunyuan model.
- Check the Token Credits resource pack (when the path leads to the
"cloudbase"main managed group):
callCloudApi({
service: "tcb",
action: "DescribeEnvPostpayPackage",
params: {
EnvId: "<current envId>",
},
})
Hit criterion: envPostpayPackageInfoList contains an entry whose postpayPackageId starts with pkg_tcb_tokencredits_, has status ∉ [3, 4] (not expired, not disabled), and versionSwitchStatus is not in a blocking state.
On miss: surface the purchase link (replace {envId} with the real ID — never leave the placeholder):
https://buy.cloud.tencent.com/lowcode?buyType=resPack&envId={envId}&resourceType=token
Preflight ② · Group Readiness (mandatory for every Mini Program AI call)
Passing eligibility does not mean the target model is callable. No model is enabled by default in the "cloudbase" main managed group — you must first call DescribeAIModels to see what is enabled, then (if missing) DescribeManagedAIModelList for the authoritative supported-model catalog and UpdateAIModel with Status: 1 to enable it. Growth Plan enrollment does not skip this check: hy3 must still be present and enabled in the cloudbase group. Legacy "hunyuan-v3" exposes only hy3 and is being retired — treat it as read-only compatibility, not the default.
- Query the groups and switches currently configured in the environment (
tcbActionDescribeAIModels, Version2018-06-08):
callCloudApi({
service: "tcb",
action: "DescribeAIModels",
params: { EnvId: "<envId>" },
})
Returns AIModelGroups: AIModelGroup[]. Each AIModelGroup has GroupName (e.g. cloudbase / hunyuan-exp / your custom group), Type (builtin / custom), Models: [{ Model, EnableMCP, Tags }], and Status (1=on / 2=off). Group readiness = all three of: the GroupName exists + Status === 1 + the target Model is present in Models[].
- If the target model is not in the
DescribeAIModelsresponse, query the platform catalog + pricing viaDescribeManagedAIModelList— it returnsManagedAIModelGroup[]includingModelSpec(context length, etc.) andModelChargingInfo(Uniform/Tieredpricing). Pick the target model, then enable it viaUpdateAIModel:
callCloudApi({
service: "tcb",
action: "UpdateAIModel",
params: {
EnvId: "<envId>",
GroupName: "cloudbase",
Status: 1, // 1=on, 2=off
Models: [
{ Model: "deepseek-v4-flash", EnableMCP: false },
{ Model: "deepseek-v3.2", EnableMCP: false }, // append the new model to enable
],
// ⚠️ `Models` is a FULL REPLACEMENT, not incremental; merge the old list + new entries before passing.
},
})
- Once both steps pass, only THEN write
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("<GroupName>")in the Mini Program code, and pass amodelvalue that exists in that group'sModels[].
Order is fixed. Without eligibility, no enabled model will bill; without group readiness, even with eligibility you will receive
ModelNotEnabled-class errors. Both must be done before business code.API casing tip:
tcbpublic-service Actions officially use PascalCase (EnvId,GroupName,ActivityNames); some docs show camelCase. On the first call, if you hitInvalidParameter, switch casing and retry, then freeze the working form in your project's wrapper.
Available Providers and Models
The provider argument of wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel(provider) equals the GroupName returned by DescribeAIModels. Only the four kinds of values below are legal. Run the decision tree before choosing.
A. 小程序成长计划 (default when enrolled) — provider is cloudbase, model is hy3
| createModel provider | Default model | Other available models | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
"cloudbase" | hy3 | Whatever else the env has enabled in DescribeAIModels({ GroupName: "cloudbase" }).Models[] — query at runtime, do NOT hard-code | Plan quota draws first when the call origin allows it; enable hy3 via UpdateAIModel before the first call |
"hunyuan-v3" | hy3 | None — this group only exposes hy3 | Legacy plan group, being retired. Existing code works; migrate to cloudbase + hy3 |
"hunyuan-exp" | — | Whatever the env still returns | Older legacy builtin. Its original default hunyuan-2.0-instruct-20251111 is offline (2026-05-31) — do not target it |
B. Main managed group (Token Credits pack scenario, recommended default)
The "cloudbase" GroupName is backed by Tencent Cloud TokenHub, a unified managed pool that covers multiple first-party and third-party vendors — including the Hunyuan family (HY 2.0 Instruct, HY 2.0 Think, Hunyuan-role, Hy3 preview, …), DeepSeek family (DeepSeek-V4-Pro, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, Deepseek-v3.2, Deepseek-v3.1, Deepseek-r1-0528, Deepseek-v3-0324, …), Zhipu GLM (GLM-5, GLM-5-Turbo, GLM-5.1, GLM-5V-Turbo), Kimi (K2.5, K2.6), MiniMax (M2.5, M2.7) and more. The roster evolves over time, so do not hard-code the list in application code — always discover it at runtime.
| createModel provider | Model readiness | How to enable a model | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
"cloudbase" | No model is enabled by default — always check DescribeAIModels({ GroupName: "cloudbase" }).Models[] first | 1) Fetch the authoritative catalog + pricing via DescribeManagedAIModelList (do NOT guess the Model string). 2) Call UpdateAIModel with Status: 1 and a full-replacement Models[] that includes the target model | Unified managed group (Type=builtin), Remark "腾讯云开发", depends on a pkg_tcb_tokencredits_* resource pack |
⚠️ Common Mini Program mistake: writing
createModel("deepseek")/createModel("hunyuan")/createModel("glm")/createModel("kimi")/createModel("minimax")/createModel("custom"). All wrong — those are vendor / model names, not provider / GroupName. The provider must be one of theGroupNamevalues returned byDescribeAIModels. New projects always use the unified"cloudbase"managed group and select the concrete vendor model via themodelfield.
C. Not in the managed catalog → Custom onboarding
Models involving third-party / self-hosted / OpenAI-compatible endpoints (anything not appearing in A/B) do NOT go through the billing paths above. You must register a Type=custom GroupName via "Custom onboarding" first. See the next section.
Custom Onboarding (when not in the managed catalog)
When the user specifies a model that is not in the main managed group (cloudbase) catalog (e.g. enterprise-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoints, third-party model services), pick one of the two paths below. Use neutral phrasing such as "third-party / self-hosted / OpenAI-compatible endpoint" — do not name specific competitor brands.
Path 1 · Register in the console
Point the user to the CloudBase console AI model page:
https://tcb.cloud.tencent.com/dev?envId={envId}#/ai
Replace {envId} with the real environment ID and let the user fill in model name, endpoint, API key, etc.
Path 2 · Register via callCloudApi + CreateAIModel
The tcb Action CreateAIModel (Version 2018-06-08) creates a Type=custom AI model group in the current environment:
callCloudApi({
service: "tcb",
action: "CreateAIModel",
params: {
EnvId: "<current envId>",
GroupName: "custom-openai-compat", // ⚠️ MUST start with "custom-" (e.g. custom-kimi, custom-moonshot) to avoid colliding with built-in / vendor GroupNames; this becomes the value passed to createModel(provider)
BaseUrl: "https://api.example.com/v1",
Models: [
{ Model: "gpt-4o-mini", EnableMCP: false },
{ Model: "gpt-4o", EnableMCP: false },
],
Remark: "Internal OpenAI-compatible endpoint",
Status: 1, // 1=on, 2=off
Secret: {
// Key / ApiKey: pick one; OpenAI-compatible endpoints usually use ApiKey
ApiKey: "<vendor-api-key>",
},
},
})
After registration:
- Run
DescribeAIModelsto confirm theGroupNameexists withStatus=1and the targetModelappears inModels[]. - In the Mini Program, call
wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("custom-openai-compat")and pass a registered model name (e.g."gpt-4o-mini") as themodelfield. - To add or modify models later, use
UpdateAIModel(rememberModelsis a full replacement;Statususes 1/2 as on/off). To delete an entire custom group, useDeleteAIModel(custom groups only; batch viaGroupNames.N). - All calls still hit the environment's billing path. If such custom models also need Token settlement, eligibility must be verified first.
Prerequisites
- WeChat base library 3.7.1+
- No extra SDK installation needed
Initialization
// app.js
App({
onLaunch: function() {
wx.cloud.init({ env: "<YOUR_ENV_ID>" });
}
})
generateText() - Non-streaming
⚠️ Different from JS/Node SDK: the return value is the raw model response.
Prerequisite: the "Mandatory Two-Step Preflight" has been completed and the target model has been confirmed enabled via
DescribeAIModels(or enabled viaUpdateAIModelif missing). The example below assumes the current environment is enrolled in 小程序成长计划 and usescreateModel("cloudbase")+hy3. If the target is a different managed model, keep the provider and set themodelto whatever the user chose and you have just enabled viaUpdateAIModel— never assumedeepseek-v4-flashis already on.
const model = wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("cloudbase");
const res = await model.generateText({
model: "hy3", // plan-enrolled default
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "hi" }],
});
// ⚠️ Return value is the RAW model response, NOT wrapped like JS/Node SDK
console.log(res.choices[0].message.content); // access via choices array
console.log(res.usage); // token usage
streamText() - Streaming
⚠️ Different from JS/Node SDK: parameters MUST be wrapped in a data object; callbacks are supported.
Prerequisite: the "Mandatory Two-Step Preflight" has been completed and the target model has been enabled. The example below uses the 成长计划 branch (
cloudbase+hy3); for another managed model, keep the provider and set themodelto whatever the user chose and you have just enabled viaUpdateAIModel(no model is enabled by default).
const model = wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("cloudbase");
// ⚠️ Parameters MUST be wrapped in a `data` object
const res = await model.streamText({
data: { // ⚠️ Required wrapper
model: "hy3", // plan-enrolled default
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "hi" }]
},
onText: (text) => { // Optional: incremental text callback
console.log("New text:", text);
},
onEvent: ({ data }) => { // Optional: raw event callback
console.log("Event:", data);
},
onFinish: (fullText) => { // Optional: completion callback
console.log("Done:", fullText);
}
});
// Async iteration is also available
for await (let str of res.textStream) {
console.log(str);
}
// Check for completion via eventStream
for await (let event of res.eventStream) {
console.log(event);
if (event.data === "[DONE]") { // ⚠️ Check for [DONE] to stop
break;
}
}
Error Handling Pattern
Prerequisite: the "Mandatory Two-Step Preflight" has been completed. For the resource pack branch, use
"cloudbase"+ the specific text model you just verified/enabled viaDescribeAIModels/UpdateAIModel— no model is enabled by default.
const model = wx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel("cloudbase");
try {
const res = await model.generateText({
model: "deepseek-v4-flash",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a welcome message" }],
});
console.log(res.choices[0].message.content);
} catch (error) {
console.error("Mini Program AI request failed", error);
}

Best Practices
- Run the two-step preflight before writing business code. Fixed order: ①
DescribeActivityInfo/DescribeEnvPostpayPackagefor billing eligibility → ②DescribeAIModelsfor group readiness (if needed,DescribeManagedAIModelListfor catalog + pricing, thenUpdateAIModelto enable the target model). Only after both pass should you writewx.cloud.extend.AI.createModel(...). createModel(provider)accepts only four kinds of values —"cloudbase"(main managed group, default for new projects and for 成长计划),"hunyuan-v3"(legacy plan group, onlyhy3, being retired),"hunyuan-exp"(older legacy builtin), or the custom-onboardingGroupName(MUST start withcustom-, e.g.custom-kimi,custom-openai-compat, to avoid colliding with built-in / vendor names). Never writecreateModel("deepseek")(unlessDescribeAIModelstruly returns a legacy builtin group nameddeepseek),createModel("hunyuan"),createModel("kimi"), orcreateModel("custom")— these are model/vendor names or placeholders, not GroupNames.- The
modelfield must come fromDescribeAIModels. Pass a value that actually exists in theModels[].Modellist of the chosen group. The main managed group only hasdeepseek-v4-flashenabled by default; to use others, callUpdateAIModelfirst. - The plan quota is bound to 成长计划, not to a group name. Enrolled environments draw the free quota through
cloudbase+hy3;hunyuan-v3(onlyhy3) still draws it too but is being retired. When not enrolled, guide the user tohttps://docs.cloudbase.net/ai/ai-inspire-plan, or use"cloudbase"+ a managed model under the resource pack. - Check pricing before enabling more models.
DescribeManagedAIModelListreturnsModelChargingInfo(Uniformflat price /Tieredtiered pricing) +ModelSpec.ContextLength. Confirm before callingUpdateAIModel.Modelsis a full replacement — merge the old list + the new entry before passing. - Check base library version. 3.7.1+ is required; on older versions
wx.cloud.extend.AIisundefined— do not debug it as a model issue. - Use callbacks for UI updates.
onTextis well-suited for progressively refreshing chat bubbles; manually concatenating fromeventStreamtends to drop separators. - Check for
[DONE]. When iteratingeventStream, stop only whenevent.data === "[DONE]", otherwise the stream waits forever for the next frame. - Remember the
datawrapper.streamTextparameters MUST be wrapped indata: { ... }— unlike JS/Node SDK. Forgetting it yields a parameter error. - Distinguish "not-eligible / group-not-ready" from "call failure". The former should guide the user into enrollment / purchase /
UpdateAIModelflows; the latter is about debugging prompts, parameters, or the network. The error messages and next actions are completely different. - Do not hardcode third-party model API keys in the Mini Program. For models outside the managed catalog, use
CreateAIModel(Secret.ApiKey) so the key is stored on the CloudBase side; keep only theGroupNamein the Mini Program. - TypeScript: do NOT use
anyto silence type errors. If thewx.cloud.extend.AIsurface is missing types, declare a preciseinterfacefor the slice you actually use, or augment via a local.d.ts. Never: any,as any,@ts-ignore,@ts-nocheck. - Self-verify before claiming done. Build the Mini Program, open it in the WeChat DevTools simulator, exercise the real
streamText/generateTextflow end-to-end, and confirm: (a) the text chunks arrive viaonText, (b)[DONE]terminates the stream, (c) no new console errors. "It should work" without an actual run is not acceptable evidence.
