# Model Providers
OpenClaw can use many LLM providers. Pick a provider, authenticate, then set the
default model as `provider/model`.
Looking for chat channel docs (WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/Slack/Mattermost (plugin)/etc.)? See [Channels](/channels).
## Highlight: Venius (Venice AI)
Venius is our recommended Venice AI setup for privacy-first inference with an option to use Opus for hard tasks.
- Default: `venice/llama-3.3-70b`
- Best overall: `venice/claude-opus-45` (Opus remains the strongest)
See [Venice AI](/providers/venice).
## Quick start
1) Authenticate with the provider (usually via `openclaw onboard`).
2) Set the default model:
```json5
{
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5" } } }
}
```
