Model Provider Quickstart

Model Providers

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

Highlight: Venice (Venice AI)

Venice is our recommended Venice AI setup for privacy-first inference with an option to use Opus for the hardest tasks.

  • Default: venice/llama-3.3-70b
  • Best overall: venice/claude-opus-45 (Opus remains the strongest)

See Venice AI.

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)

For the full provider catalog (xAI, Groq, Mistral, etc.) and advanced configuration, see Model providers.
