SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the complex task of configuring and managing AI models, providers, API keys, and failover strategies within the OpenClaw ecosystem.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Model Selection: Easily switch between different AI models (e.g., Claude, GPT) and configure default or per-agent models.
  • Provider Management: Set up and manage various AI model providers, including custom endpoints and local Ollama instances.
  • API Key Configuration: Securely configure API keys using environment variables, inline configuration, or secret references.
  • Failover Strategies: Implement robust failover mechanisms to ensure continuous operation even if a primary model or provider becomes unavailable.
  • Image Model Configuration: Independently configure models for image generation or analysis.

Quick Start

Configure the default AI model to use 'anthropic/claude-opus-4-6' with 'openai/gpt-5.2' as a fallback.

Frequently Asked Questions about openclaw-models

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure AI model providers and API keys for the OpenClaw platform?▼

Failover for AI models ensures continuous operation by automatically switching to a fallback provider if the primary model becomes unavailable. You can configure this by setting a primary model like Claude and a fallback like GPT.

Can I use a local Ollama instance as an AI provider in OpenClaw?▼

Yes, you can set per-agent model overrides to assign specific AI models to individual agents. This allows you to switch between different models like Claude and GPT on an agent-by-agent basis.

What is the best way to manage secrets and API keys for LLM configuration?▼

Yes, OpenClaw includes independent configuration for image models. You can set up specific models for image generation or analysis separately from your text-based LLM providers.

How do I set up failover strategies for AI models?▼

Failover strategies in OpenClaw ensure continuous operation by automatically switching to a backup model or provider when the primary one fails. You configure this by defining a primary model and a fallback model in your setup.

Can I assign different AI models to specific agents?▼

Yes, OpenClaw supports per-agent model overrides, allowing you to assign specific AI models like Claude or GPT to individual agents. This provides flexibility in configuring default versus specialized agent behaviors.
