Providers

DeepInfra

DeepInfra routes requests to popular open source and frontier models behind a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint and API key. Most OpenAI SDKs work against it by switching the base URL.

Install plugin

bash
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/deepinfra-provideropenclaw gateway restart

Get an API key

  1. Sign in at deepinfra.com
  2. Go to Dashboard / Keys and generate a key, or use the auto-created one

CLI setup

bash
openclaw onboard --deepinfra-api-key <key>

Or set the environment variable:

bash
export DEEPINFRA_API_KEY="<your-deepinfra-api-key>" # pragma: allowlist secret

Config snippet

json5
{  env: { DEEPINFRA_API_KEY: "<your-deepinfra-api-key>" }, // pragma: allowlist secret  agents: {    defaults: {      model: { primary: "deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash" },    },  },}

Supported surfaces

Chat, image generation, and video generation refresh their model catalogs live from https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai/models?sort_by=openclaw&filter=with_meta once DEEPINFRA_API_KEY is configured. Other surfaces use the static defaults below until they move onto the same live catalog.

Surface Default model OpenClaw config/tool
Chat / model provider first chat-tagged entry from live catalog (static fallback deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash) agents.defaults.model
Image generation/editing first image-gen-tagged entry from live catalog (static fallback black-forest-labs/FLUX-1-schnell) image_generate, agents.defaults.imageGenerationModel
Media understanding moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5 for images inbound image understanding
Speech-to-text openai/whisper-large-v3-turbo inbound audio transcription
Text-to-speech hexgrad/Kokoro-82M messages.tts.provider: "deepinfra"
Video generation static fallback Pixverse/Pixverse-T2V (no live video-gen rows from DeepInfra today) video_generate, agents.defaults.videoGenerationModel
Memory embeddings BAAI/bge-m3 agents.defaults.memorySearch.provider: "deepinfra"

DeepInfra also exposes reranking, classification, object-detection, and other native model types. OpenClaw has no provider contract for those categories yet, so this plugin does not register them.

Available models

OpenClaw discovers DeepInfra models dynamically once a key is configured. Use /models deepinfra or openclaw models list --provider deepinfra to see the current list.

Any model on deepinfra.com works with the deepinfra/ prefix:

text
deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flashdeepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2deepinfra/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5deepinfra/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5deepinfra/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12Bdeepinfra/zai-org/GLM-5.1...and many more

Notes

  • Model refs are deepinfra/<provider>/<model> (for example deepinfra/Qwen/Qwen3-Max).
  • Default chat model: deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash
  • Base URL: https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai
  • Native video generation uses https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/<model>.
