OpenClaw setup guide

Choose an OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic provider path for the powertokens platform.

OpenClaw manages models through providers. When you connect it to the powertokens platform, choose the protocol path first:

• OpenAI-compatible path: use openai-completions with https://baze-api.powerbuyin.top/v1.
• Anthropic path: use anthropic-messages with https://baze-api.powerbuyin.top.

Do not conflate OpenClaw’s official OpenAI/Codex runtime, Claude CLI reuse, and a regular OpenAI-compatible proxy. This guide covers the powertokens platform as a custom provider.

If you need to choose the endpoint first, see Text model protocols and endpoints.

Choose a path

Goal	OpenClaw provider api	Base URL	Model scope
OpenAI-compatible text models	openai-completions	https://baze-api.powerbuyin.top/v1	Text models that support /v1/chat/completions
Anthropic-path models	anthropic-messages	https://baze-api.powerbuyin.top	Recommended Zhipu, MiniMax, Qwen, BytePlus DeepSeek, and re-validated Seed models that support Messages
OpenAI-compatible preferred models	openai-completions	https://baze-api.powerbuyin.top/v1	Text models whose upstream provider does not support /v1/messages, such as seed-1-6-flash-250715

OpenAI-compatible provider example

Add a provider like this to OpenClaw models.providers. The actual location can be global config or the target agent’s models.json.

{
  models: {
    mode: "merge",
    providers: {
      powertokens: {
        baseUrl: "https://baze-api.powerbuyin.top/v1",
        apiKey: "YOUR_POWERTOKENS_API_KEY",
        api: "openai-completions",
        models: [
          {
            id: "glm-5.2",
            name: "glm-5.2",
            reasoning: false,
            input: ["text"],
            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
            contextWindow: 128000,
            maxTokens: 32000
          },
          {
            id: "seed-2-0-pro-260328",
            name: "seed-2-0-pro-260328",
            reasoning: false,
            input: ["text"],
            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
            contextWindow: 128000,
            maxTokens: 32000
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      models: {
        "powertokens/glm-5.2": { alias: "powertokens-glm" },
        "powertokens/seed-2-0-pro-260328": { alias: "powertokens-seed-pro" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Do not commit a real API key. Use OpenClaw-supported environment, SecretRef, or local secret configuration for production.

Anthropic provider example

For the Claude/Anthropic path, set api to anthropic-messages and use the base URL without /v1/messages.

{
  models: {
    mode: "merge",
    providers: {
      "powertokens-anthropic": {
        baseUrl: "https://baze-api.powerbuyin.top",
        apiKey: "YOUR_POWERTOKENS_API_KEY",
        api: "anthropic-messages",
        models: [
          {
            id: "glm-5.2",
            name: "glm-5.2",
            reasoning: false,
            input: ["text"],
            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
            contextWindow: 128000,
            maxTokens: 32000
          },
          {
            id: "MiniMax-M3",
            name: "MiniMax-M3",
            reasoning: false,
            input: ["text"],
            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
            contextWindow: 128000,
            maxTokens: 32000
          },
          {
            id: "deepseek-v3-2-251201",
            name: "deepseek-v3-2-251201",
            reasoning: false,
            input: ["text"],
            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
            contextWindow: 128000,
            maxTokens: 32000
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      models: {
        "powertokens-anthropic/glm-5.2": { alias: "powertokens-claude-glm" },
        "powertokens-anthropic/MiniMax-M3": { alias: "powertokens-claude-minimax" },
        "powertokens-anthropic/deepseek-v3-2-251201": { alias: "powertokens-claude-deepseek" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Recommended Anthropic tool-workflow models:

Upstream provider	Models
Zhipu	glm-4.5-air, glm-4.7, glm-4.7-flash, glm-5, glm-5-turbo, glm-5.2
MiniMax	MiniMax-M2.5, MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed, MiniMax-M2.7, MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed, MiniMax-M3
Alibaba Qwen	qwen3-coder-plus, qwen3-max, qwen3.5-flash, qwen3.6-plus
BytePlus DeepSeek	deepseek-v3-2-251201
BytePlus Seed	seed-1-6-250915, seed-1-8-251228, seed-2-0-lite-260228, seed-2-0-mini-260215, seed-2-0-pro-260328

Models not recommended for Anthropic provider

Use these with openai-completions, not anthropic-messages, even if model discovery declares anthropic:

seed-1-6-flash-250715

Apply and verify

After applying config for your OpenClaw installation, run:

openclaw doctor
openclaw models list
openclaw models status --json
openclaw gateway restart

Then select the new model in TUI or a connected channel and send:

Reply with ok, then list the active model name.

If the model is unavailable, check:

• The model reference uses provider/model.
• models.providers.*.api matches the platform path.
• baseUrl has the correct /v1 shape for the selected protocol.
• The API key is injected through the OpenClaw secret mechanism you use.
• The model is in the correct OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-path list.

Boundaries

• openai-completions covers Chat Completions semantics. It is not the same as OpenClaw’s official OpenAI/Codex runtime.
• anthropic-messages only applies to models that work through /v1/messages.
• OpenClaw tools, media, caching, reasoning, and developer-role compatibility may depend on provider metadata. Validate with real tasks.
• If the anthropic-messages path is unstable in real tasks, switch to openai-completions and keep the request id for platform debugging.
• Keep input: ["text"] for text-only models. Do not declare image support unless the model and platform API support it.
