For TypingMind License users:Currently, Alibaba Cloud only supports browser-based API requests for resources hosted in the US region. If your API key or endpoint is configured in another region, the request may be blocked by CORS, which can result in the error you’re seeing.You can resolve this in one of two ways:
  1. If you want to keep using the endpoint in your current region, you’ll need to manually configure a proxy for this model on your end.
  2. Switch your Alibaba Cloud Model Studio region to the US and create a new API key there.
