# 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](/channels).

## Quick start

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

```json5
{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6" } } },
}
```
