OpenClaw manages models through providers. When you connect it to the `powertokens platform`, choose the protocol path first: * OpenAI-compatible path: use `openai-completions` with `https://api.powertokens.ai/v1`. * Anthropic path: use `anthropic-messages` with `https://api.powertokens.ai`. Do not conflate OpenClaw's official OpenAI/Codex runtime, Claude CLI reuse, and a regular OpenAI-compatible proxy. This guide covers the `powertokens platform` as a custom provider. If you need to choose the endpoint first, see [Text model protocols and endpoints](/en/ecosystem-tools/text-model-protocols). ## Choose a path | Goal | OpenClaw provider api | Base URL | Model scope | | ---------------------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | OpenAI-compatible text models | `openai-completions` | `https://api.powertokens.ai/v1` | Text models that support `/v1/chat/completions` | | Anthropic-path models | `anthropic-messages` | `https://api.powertokens.ai` | Recommended Zhipu, MiniMax, Qwen, BytePlus DeepSeek, and re-validated Seed models that support Messages | | OpenAI-compatible preferred models | `openai-completions` | `https://api.powertokens.ai/v1` | Text models whose upstream provider does not support `/v1/messages`, such as `seed-1-6-flash-250715` | ## OpenAI-compatible provider example Add a provider like this to OpenClaw `models.providers`. The actual location can be global config or the target agent's `models.json`. ```json5 theme={null} { models: { mode: "merge", providers: { powertokens: { baseUrl: "https://api.powertokens.ai/v1", apiKey: "YOUR_POWERTOKENS_API_KEY", api: "openai-completions", models: [ { id: "glm-5.2", name: "glm-5.2", reasoning: false, input: ["text"], cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }, contextWindow: 128000, maxTokens: 32000 }, { id: "seed-2-0-pro-260328", name: "seed-2-0-pro-260328", reasoning: false, input: ["text"], cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }, contextWindow: 128000, maxTokens: 32000 } ] } } }, agents: { defaults: { models: { "powertokens/glm-5.2": { alias: "powertokens-glm" }, "powertokens/seed-2-0-pro-260328": { alias: "powertokens-seed-pro" } } } } } ``` Do not commit a real API key. Use OpenClaw-supported environment, SecretRef, or local secret configuration for production. ## Anthropic provider example For the Claude/Anthropic path, set `api` to `anthropic-messages` and use the base URL without `/v1/messages`. ```json5 theme={null} { models: { mode: "merge", providers: { "powertokens-anthropic": { baseUrl: "https://api.powertokens.ai", apiKey: "YOUR_POWERTOKENS_API_KEY", api: "anthropic-messages", models: [ { id: "glm-5.2", name: "glm-5.2", reasoning: false, input: ["text"], cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }, contextWindow: 128000, maxTokens: 32000 }, { id: "MiniMax-M3", name: "MiniMax-M3", reasoning: false, input: ["text"], cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }, contextWindow: 128000, maxTokens: 32000 }, { id: "deepseek-v3-2-251201", name: "deepseek-v3-2-251201", reasoning: false, input: ["text"], cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }, contextWindow: 128000, maxTokens: 32000 } ] } } }, agents: { defaults: { models: { "powertokens-anthropic/glm-5.2": { alias: "powertokens-claude-glm" }, "powertokens-anthropic/MiniMax-M3": { alias: "powertokens-claude-minimax" }, "powertokens-anthropic/deepseek-v3-2-251201": { alias: "powertokens-claude-deepseek" } } } } } ``` Recommended Anthropic tool-workflow models: | Upstream provider | Models | | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Zhipu | `glm-4.5-air`, `glm-4.7`, `glm-4.7-flash`, `glm-5`, `glm-5-turbo`, `glm-5.2` | | MiniMax | `MiniMax-M2.5`, `MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed`, `MiniMax-M2.7`, `MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed`, `MiniMax-M3` | | Alibaba Qwen | `qwen3-coder-plus`, `qwen3-max`, `qwen3.5-flash`, `qwen3.6-plus` | | BytePlus DeepSeek | `deepseek-v3-2-251201` | | BytePlus Seed | `seed-1-6-250915`, `seed-1-8-251228`, `seed-2-0-lite-260228`, `seed-2-0-mini-260215`, `seed-2-0-pro-260328` | ## Models not recommended for Anthropic provider Use these with `openai-completions`, not `anthropic-messages`, even if model discovery declares `anthropic`: ```text theme={null} seed-1-6-flash-250715 ``` ## Apply and verify After applying config for your OpenClaw installation, run: ```bash theme={null} openclaw doctor openclaw models list openclaw models status --json openclaw gateway restart ``` Then select the new model in TUI or a connected channel and send: ```text theme={null} Reply with ok, then list the active model name. ``` If the model is unavailable, check: * The model reference uses `provider/model`. * `models.providers.*.api` matches the platform path. * `baseUrl` has the correct `/v1` shape for the selected protocol. * The API key is injected through the OpenClaw secret mechanism you use. * The model is in the correct OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-path list. ## Boundaries * `openai-completions` covers Chat Completions semantics. It is not the same as OpenClaw's official OpenAI/Codex runtime. * `anthropic-messages` only applies to models that work through `/v1/messages`. * OpenClaw tools, media, caching, reasoning, and developer-role compatibility may depend on provider metadata. Validate with real tasks. * If the `anthropic-messages` path is unstable in real tasks, switch to `openai-completions` and keep the request id for platform debugging. * Keep `input: ["text"]` for text-only models. Do not declare image support unless the model and platform API support it.
