Model providers
This page covers LLM/model providers (not chat channels like WhatsApp/Telegram). For model selection rules, see /concepts/models.Quick rules
- Model refs use
provider/model(example:opencode/claude-opus-4-5). - If you set
agents.defaults.models, it becomes the allowlist. - CLI helpers:
clawdia onboard,clawdia models list,clawdia models set <provider/model>.
Built-in providers (pi-ai catalog)
Clawdia ships with the pi‑ai catalog. These providers require nomodels.providers config; just set auth + pick a model.
OpenAI
- Provider:
openai - Auth:
OPENAI_API_KEY - Example model:
openai/gpt-5.2 - CLI:
clawdia onboard --auth-choice openai-api-key
Anthropic
- Provider:
anthropic - Auth:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYorclaude setup-token - Example model:
anthropic/claude-opus-4-5 - CLI:
clawdia onboard --auth-choice token(paste setup-token) orclawdia models auth paste-token --provider anthropic

google/gemini-3-pro-preview - CLI:
clawdia onboard --auth-choice gemini-api-key
Google Vertex / Antigravity / Gemini CLI
- Providers:
google-vertex,google-antigravity,google-gemini-cli - Auth: Vertex uses gcloud ADC; Antigravity/Gemini CLI use their respective auth flows
- Antigravity OAuth is shipped as a bundled plugin (
google-antigravity-auth, disabled by default).- Enable:
clawdia plugins enable google-antigravity-auth - Login:
clawdia models auth login --provider google-antigravity --set-default
- Enable:
- Gemini CLI OAuth is shipped as a bundled plugin (
google-gemini-cli-auth, disabled by default).- Enable:
clawdia plugins enable google-gemini-cli-auth - Login:
clawdia models auth login --provider google-gemini-cli --set-default - Note: you do not paste a client id or secret into
clawdia.json. The CLI login flow stores tokens in auth profiles on the gateway host.
- Enable:
Z.AI (GLM)
- Provider:
zai - Auth:
ZAI_API_KEY - Example model:
zai/glm-4.7 - CLI:
clawdia onboard --auth-choice zai-api-key- Aliases:

Other built-in providers
- OpenRouter:
openrouter(OPENROUTER_API_KEY) - Example model:
openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 - xAI:
xai(XAI_API_KEY) - Groq:
groq(GROQ_API_KEY) - Cerebras:
cerebras(CEREBRAS_API_KEY)- GLM models on Cerebras use ids
zai-glm-4.7andzai-glm-4.6. - OpenAI-compatible base URL:
https://api.cerebras.ai/v1.
- GLM models on Cerebras use ids
- Mistral:
mistral(MISTRAL_API_KEY) - GitHub Copilot:
github-copilot(COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN)
Providers via models.providers (custom/base URL)
Use models.providers (or models.json) to add custom providers or
OpenAI/Anthropic‑compatible proxies.
Moonshot AI (Kimi)
Moonshot uses OpenAI-compatible endpoints, so configure it as a custom provider:- Provider:
moonshot - Auth:
MOONSHOT_API_KEY - Example model:
moonshot/kimi-k2-0905-preview - Kimi K2 model IDs:
moonshot/kimi-k2-0905-previewmoonshot/kimi-k2-turbo-previewmoonshot/kimi-k2-thinkingmoonshot/kimi-k2-thinking-turbo
Kimi Code
Kimi Code uses a dedicated endpoint and key (separate from Moonshot):- Provider:
kimi-code - Auth:
KIMICODE_API_KEY - Example model:
kimi-code/kimi-for-coding
Qwen OAuth (free tier)
Qwen provides OAuth access to Qwen Coder + Vision via a device-code flow. Enable the bundled plugin, then log in:qwen-portal/coder-modelqwen-portal/vision-model
Synthetic
Synthetic provides Anthropic-compatible models behind thesynthetic provider:
- Provider:
synthetic - Auth:
SYNTHETIC_API_KEY - Example model:
synthetic/hf:MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1 - CLI:
clawdia onboard --auth-choice synthetic-api-key
MiniMax
MiniMax is configured viamodels.providers because it uses custom endpoints:
- MiniMax (Anthropic‑compatible):
--auth-choice minimax-api - Auth:
MINIMAX_API_KEY
Ollama
Ollama is a local LLM runtime that provides an OpenAI-compatible API:- Provider:
ollama - Auth: None required (local server)
- Example model:
ollama/llama3.3 - Installation: https://ollama.ai
http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1. See /providers/ollama for model recommendations and custom configuration.
Local proxies (LM Studio, vLLM, LiteLLM, etc.)
Example (OpenAI‑compatible):- For custom providers,
reasoning,input,cost,contextWindow, andmaxTokensare optional. When omitted, Clawdia defaults to:reasoning: falseinput: ["text"]cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 }contextWindow: 200000maxTokens: 8192
- Recommended: set explicit values that match your proxy/model limits.
