Model Providers

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" } } },
}

​
Supported providers (starter set)

​
Additional bundled provider variants

  • anthropic-vertex - implicit Anthropic on Google Vertex support when Vertex credentials are available; no separate onboarding auth choice
  • copilot-proxy - local VS Code Copilot Proxy bridge; use openclaw onboard --auth-choice copilot-proxy
  • google-gemini-cli - unofficial Gemini CLI OAuth flow; requires a local gemini install (brew install gemini-cli or npm install -g @google/gemini-cli); default model google-gemini-cli/gemini-3.1-pro-preview; use openclaw onboard --auth-choice google-gemini-cli or openclaw models auth login --provider google-gemini-cli --set-default
