Model provider quickstart

Model providers (LLMs) supported by OpenClaw

OpenClaw can use many LLM providers. Pick one, authenticate, then set the default model as provider/model.

Quick start (two steps)

  1. Authenticate with the provider (usually via openclaw onboard).
  2. Set the default model:
{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6" } } },
}
