DeepInfra

DeepInfra provides a unified API that routes requests to the most popular open source and frontier models behind a single endpoint and API key. It is OpenAI-compatible, so most OpenAI SDKs work by switching the base URL.

​
Getting an API key

  1. Go to https://deepinfra.com/
  2. Sign in or create an account
  3. Navigate to Dashboard / Keys and generate a new API key or use the auto created one

​
CLI setup

openclaw onboard --deepinfra-api-key <key>
Or set the environment variable: 
export DEEPINFRA_API_KEY="<your-deepinfra-api-key>" # pragma: allowlist secret

​
Config snippet

{
  env: { DEEPINFRA_API_KEY: "<your-deepinfra-api-key>" }, // pragma: allowlist secret
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2" },
    },
  },
}

​
Supported OpenClaw surfaces

The bundled plugin registers all DeepInfra surfaces that match current OpenClaw provider contracts:
SurfaceDefault modelOpenClaw config/tool
Chat / model providerdeepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2agents.defaults.model
Image generation/editingblack-forest-labs/FLUX-1-schnellimage_generate, agents.defaults.imageGenerationModel
Media understandingmoonshotai/Kimi-K2.5 for imagesinbound image understanding
Speech-to-textopenai/whisper-large-v3-turboinbound audio transcription
Text-to-speechhexgrad/Kokoro-82Mmessages.tts.provider: "deepinfra"
Video generationPixverse/Pixverse-T2Vvideo_generate, agents.defaults.videoGenerationModel
Memory embeddingsBAAI/bge-m3agents.defaults.memorySearch.provider: "deepinfra"
DeepInfra also exposes reranking, classification, object-detection, and other native model types. OpenClaw does not currently have first-class provider contracts for those categories, so this plugin does not register them yet.

​
Available models

OpenClaw dynamically discovers available DeepInfra models at startup. Use /models deepinfra to see the full list of models available. Any model available on DeepInfra.com can be used with the deepinfra/ prefix: 
deepinfra/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5
deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2
deepinfra/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5
deepinfra/zai-org/GLM-5.1
...and many more

​
Notes

  • Model refs are deepinfra/<provider>/<model> (e.g., deepinfra/Qwen/Qwen3-Max).
  • Default model: deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2
  • Base URL: https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai
  • Native video generation uses https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/<model>.
