# OpenClaw *Least verified page of this folder.* What I read in the OpenClaw documentation index (2026-10-15): providers are configured under `models.providers` (also in the Control UI, Settings → Models), a custom base URL is supported and LiteLLM is listed among local proxies, models are referenced as `provider/model`, and the CLI has `openclaw models set `. I did not read the page with the exact key names. Plan: 1. Run LiteLLM with the hook of `02-litellm.md` (A). 2. In OpenClaw add a custom provider whose base URL is `http://:4000/v1` and key is a LiteLLM key, and select the model `s1d1-auto` (follow the *Custom providers* page for the exact keys). 3. If OpenClaw talks to several chat apps, give each channel the same model name: the router sees every first message. Open question: whether OpenClaw's plugin SDK offers a pre-model hook; routing at the gateway does not need it.
