# `openclaw models`
|
||
|
||
Model discovery, scanning, and configuration (default model, fallbacks, auth profiles).

||

|
||

|
||
|
||
## Common commands
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
openclaw models status
|
||
openclaw models list
|
||
openclaw models set <model-or-alias>
|
||
openclaw models scan
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`openclaw models status` shows the resolved default/fallbacks plus an auth overview.
|
||
When provider usage snapshots are available, the OAuth/API-key status section includes
|
||
provider usage windows and quota snapshots.
|
||
Current usage-window providers: Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenAI
|
||
Codex, MiniMax, Xiaomi, and z.ai. Usage auth comes from provider-specific hooks
|
||
when available; otherwise OpenClaw falls back to matching OAuth/API-key
|
||
credentials from auth profiles, env, or config.
|
||
Add `--probe` to run live auth probes against each configured provider profile.
|
||
Probes are real requests (may consume tokens and trigger rate limits).
|
||
Use `--agent <id>` to inspect a configured agent’s model/auth state. When omitted,
|
||
the command uses `OPENCLAW_AGENT_DIR`/`PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR` if set, otherwise the
|
||
configured default agent.
|
||
|
||
Notes:
|
||
|
||
- `models set <model-or-alias>` accepts `provider/model` or an alias.
|
||
- Model refs are parsed by splitting on the **first** `/`. If the model ID includes `/` (OpenRouter-style), include the provider prefix (example: `openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k2`).
|
||
- If you omit the provider, OpenClaw resolves the input as an alias first, then
|
||
as a unique configured-provider match for that exact model id, and only then
|
||
falls back to the configured default provider with a deprecation warning.
|
||
- `models status` may show `marker(<value>)` in auth output for non-secret placeholders (for example `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `secretref-managed`, `minimax-oauth`, `oauth:chutes`, `ollama-local`) instead of masking them as secrets.
|
||
|
||
### `models status`
|
||
|
||
Options:
|
||
|
||
- `--json`
|
||
- `--plain`
|
||
- `--check` (exit 1=expired/missing, 2=expiring)
|
||
- `--probe` (live probe of configured auth profiles)
|
||
- `--probe-provider <name>` (probe one provider)
|
||
- `--probe-profile <id>` (repeat or comma-separated profile ids)
|
||
- `--probe-timeout <ms>`
|
||
- `--probe-concurrency <n>`
|
||
- `--probe-max-tokens <n>`
|
||
- `--agent <id>` (configured agent id; overrides `OPENCLAW_AGENT_DIR`/`PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`)
|
||
|
||
## Aliases + fallbacks
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
openclaw models aliases list
|
||
openclaw models fallbacks list
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Auth profiles
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
openclaw models auth add
|
||
openclaw models auth login --provider <id>
|
||
openclaw models auth setup-token --provider <id>
|
||
openclaw models auth paste-token
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`models auth add` is the interactive auth helper. It can launch a provider auth
|
||
flow (OAuth/API key) or guide you into manual token paste, depending on the
|
||
provider you choose.
|
||
|
||
`models auth login` runs a provider plugin’s auth flow (OAuth/API key). Use
|
||
`openclaw plugins list` to see which providers are installed.
|
||
|
||
Examples:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
openclaw models auth login --provider anthropic --method cli --set-default
|
||
openclaw models auth login --provider openai-codex --set-default
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Notes:
|
||
|
||
- `login --provider anthropic --method cli --set-default` reuses a local Claude
|
||
CLI login and rewrites the main Anthropic default-model path to `claude-cli/...`.
|
||
- `setup-token` and `paste-token` remain generic token commands for providers
|
||
that expose token auth methods.
|
||
- `paste-token` accepts a token string generated elsewhere or from automation.
|
||
- Anthropic billing note: Anthropic changed third-party harness billing on **April 4, 2026 at 12:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM BST**. Anthropic says Claude subscription limits no longer cover OpenClaw, and Claude CLI traffic in OpenClaw now requires **Extra Usage** billed separately from the subscription.
|
||
- Existing legacy Anthropic token profiles still run if already configured, but Anthropic no longer supports `setup-token` or `paste-token` as a new OpenClaw auth path.
