# Model provider quickstart

OpenClaw can use many LLM providers. Pick one, authenticate, then set the default
model as `provider/model`.

## Quick start (two steps)

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

```json5 theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6" } } },
}
```

## Additional bundled provider variants

* `anthropic-vertex` - implicit Anthropic on Google Vertex support when Vertex credentials are available; no separate onboarding auth choice
* `copilot-proxy` - local VS Code Copilot Proxy bridge; use `openclaw onboard --auth-choice copilot-proxy`
* `google-gemini-cli` - unofficial Gemini CLI OAuth flow; requires a local `gemini` install (`brew install gemini-cli` or `npm install -g @google/gemini-cli`); default model `google-gemini-cli/gemini-3-flash-preview`; use `openclaw onboard --auth-choice google-gemini-cli` or `openclaw models auth login --provider google-gemini-cli --set-default`
