What is AstraFlow Star Map
AstraFlow Star Map is a one-stop AI development platform exclusively for developers launched by UCloud, guided by the philosophy of "Guided by the stars, empowering the future with intelligence." AstraFlow Star Map integrates its model service platform UModelVerse and the Agent Sandbox secure development environment, bringing together 200+ mainstream large models and covering full-scenario capabilities such as text generation, deep thinking, computer vision, speech synthesis, and multimodal understanding. It provides enterprises with a full-chain AI development solution spanning "model supply—development scheduling—secure operation—cost management," helping industries across the board accelerate their intelligent transformation.
Main features of AstraFlow Star Map
-
One-stop access to massive models: Aggregates 200+ mainstream large models from home and abroad (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, Minimax, GLM, etc.), covering full text, vision, speech, and multimodal scenarios, with one-click invocation and out-of-the-box use.
-
Fine-grained independent billing: Supports independent metering by API Key dimension and Model dimension, with each Key independently tracking consumption, usage and ROI statistics by model granularity, and real-time queryable invocation details.
-
Agent Sandbox secure sandbox: Provides a virtual machine-level secure isolation environment; micro-VM technology resource usage is only 1/10 that of traditional solutions, supports code execution, GUI desktop, and AI Agent task execution, with 50ms ultra-fast startup.
-
Enterprise-level unified key management: Supports model-level access control, IP whitelisting, daily/monthly budget quota control, and primary/sub-account delegated management, enabling organization-level unified governance.
-
Visual semantic parsing capability: Integrates the EasyLink visual semantic large model, supporting document structured extraction, contract review, enterprise knowledge base construction, and other intelligent document processing.
How to use AstraFlow Star Map
-
Register and log in: Go to the AstraFlow Star Map official website https://www.ucloud.cn/site/active/astraflow to complete account registration and login.
-
Create an API Key: Go to Model Service Platform - Key Management and create an API Key.
-
Invoke models: Invoke models through the standard OpenAI-compatible API format, supporting cURL, Python, and other methods to integrate with business systems.

Core advantages of AstraFlow Star Map
-
Full-chain closed-loop capability: Builds a complete system covering "model supply-development scheduling-secure operation-cost management," connecting the entire process from models to applications.
-
Security and compliance assurance: The Sandbox environment provides physical-level isolation, supports Level 3 classified protection certification standards, sensitive data protection and compliance controls, ensuring data does not leave the domain.
-
Visible and controllable costs: Fine-grained billing helps enterprises achieve visibility, controllability, and optimization of AI costs, supports daily/monthly budget cap settings, and eliminates abnormal consumption and billing surprises.
-
Ultra-fast startup experience: Snapshot technology enables millisecond-level environment startup, AI Agents can be started in 30 seconds, with prebuilt development templates and a built-in code execution environment.
-
Deployment-free and ready to use: No environment adaptation required and no need to pay attention to underlying computing resource scheduling; integrate directly into business systems through standard API interfaces.
