Model Providers

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

Looking for chat channel docs (WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/Slack/Mattermost (plugin)/etc.)? See Channels.

Quick start

1. Authenticate with the provider (usually via openclaw onboard).
2. Set the default model:

{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6" } } },
}
