Chutes

Chutes exposes open-source model catalogs through an OpenAI-compatible API. OpenClaw supports both browser OAuth and direct API-key auth for the bundled chutes provider.

Getting started

1

Run the OAuth onboarding flow

openclaw onboard --auth-choice chutes
OpenClaw launches the browser flow locally, or shows a URL + redirect-paste flow on remote/headless hosts. OAuth tokens auto-refresh through OpenClaw auth profiles.
2

Verify the default model

After onboarding, the default model is set to chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE and the bundled Chutes catalog is registered.
Both auth paths register the bundled Chutes catalog and set the default model to chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE. Runtime environment variables: CHUTES_API_KEY, CHUTES_OAUTH_TOKEN.

​
Discovery behavior

When Chutes auth is available, OpenClaw queries the Chutes catalog with that credential and uses the discovered models. If discovery fails, OpenClaw falls back to a bundled static catalog so onboarding and startup still work.

​
Default aliases

OpenClaw registers three convenience aliases for the bundled Chutes catalog:
AliasTarget model
chutes-fastchutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-FP8
chutes-prochutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE
chutes-visionchutes/chutesai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506

​
Built-in starter catalog

The bundled fallback catalog includes current Chutes refs:
Model ref
chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE
chutes/zai-org/GLM-5-TEE
chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE
chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528-TEE
chutes/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5-TEE
chutes/chutesai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506
chutes/Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-Next-TEE
chutes/openai/gpt-oss-120b-TEE

Config example

{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE" },
      models: {
        "chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE": { alias: "Chutes GLM 4.7" },
        "chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE": { alias: "Chutes DeepSeek V3.2" },
      },
    },
  },
}
You can customize the OAuth flow with optional environment variables:
VariablePurpose
CHUTES_CLIENT_IDCustom OAuth client ID
CHUTES_CLIENT_SECRETCustom OAuth client secret
CHUTES_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URICustom redirect URI
CHUTES_OAUTH_SCOPESCustom OAuth scopes
See the Chutes OAuth docs for redirect-app requirements and help.
  • API-key and OAuth discovery both use the same chutes provider id.
  • Chutes models are registered as chutes/<model-id>.
  • If discovery fails at startup, the bundled static catalog is used automatically.
