Use NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible API in OpenClaw	You want to use NVIDIA models in OpenClaw You need NVIDIA_API_KEY setup	NVIDIA

NVIDIA

NVIDIA provides an OpenAI-compatible API at https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1 for Nemotron and NeMo models. Authenticate with an API key from NVIDIA NGC.

CLI setup

Export the key once, then run onboarding and set an NVIDIA model:

export NVIDIA_API_KEY="nvapi-..."
openclaw onboard --auth-choice skip
openclaw models set nvidia/nvidia/llama-3.1-nemotron-70b-instruct

If you still pass --token, remember it lands in shell history and ps output; prefer the env var when possible.

Config snippet

{
  env: { NVIDIA_API_KEY: "nvapi-..." },
  models: {
    providers: {
      nvidia: {
        baseUrl: "https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1",
        api: "openai-completions",
      },
    },
  },
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "nvidia/nvidia/llama-3.1-nemotron-70b-instruct" },
    },
  },
}

Notes

• OpenAI-compatible /v1 endpoint; use an API key from NVIDIA NGC.
• Provider auto-enables when NVIDIA_API_KEY is set.
• The bundled catalog is static; costs default to 0 in source.
