# Model Providers

# Model Providers

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

Looking for chat channel docs (WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/Slack/Mattermost (plugin)/etc.)? See [Channels](/docs/channels).

## Highlight: Venice (Venice AI)

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

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

See [Venice AI](/docs/providers/venice).

## Quick start

1. Authenticate with the provider (usually via `openclaw onboard`).
2. Set the default model:

```json5 theme={null}
{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5" } } },
}
```
