# Model Providers

Clawdbot 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/etc.)? See [Channels](/channels).

## Quick start

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

```json5
{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5" } } }
}
```
