summary: "Chutes setup (OAuth or API key, model discovery, aliases)"
title: "Chutes"
read_when:
- You want to use Chutes with OpenClaw
- You need the OAuth or API key setup path
- You want the default model, aliases, or discovery behavior
---
[Chutes](https://chutes.ai) exposes open-source model catalogs through an
OpenAI-compatible API. OpenClaw supports both browser OAuth and direct API-key
auth for the bundled `chutes` provider.
| Property | Value |
| -------- | ---------------------------- |
| Provider | `chutes` |
| API | OpenAI-compatible |
| Base URL | `https://llm.chutes.ai/v1` |
| Auth | OAuth or API key (see below) |
## Getting started
<Tabs>
<Tab title="OAuth">
<Steps>
<Step title="Run the OAuth onboarding flow">
```bash
openclaw onboard --auth-choice chutes
```
OpenClaw launches the browser flow locally, or shows a URL + redirect-paste
flow on remote/headless hosts. OAuth tokens auto-refresh through OpenClaw auth
profiles.
</Step>
<Step title="Verify the default model">
After onboarding, the default model is set to
`chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE` and the bundled Chutes catalog is
registered.
</Step>
</Steps>
</Tab>
<Tab title="API key">
<Steps>
<Step title="Get an API key">
Create a key at
[chutes.ai/settings/api-keys](https://chutes.ai/settings/api-keys).
</Step>
<Step title="Run the API key onboarding flow">
```bash
openclaw onboard --auth-choice chutes-api-key
```
</Step>
<Step title="Verify the default model">
After onboarding, the default model is set to
`chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE` and the bundled Chutes catalog is
registered.
</Step>
</Steps>
</Tab>
</Tabs>
<Note>
Both auth paths register the bundled Chutes catalog and set the default model to
`chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE`. Runtime environment variables: `CHUTES_API_KEY`,
`CHUTES_OAUTH_TOKEN`.
</Note>
## Discovery behavior
When Chutes auth is available, OpenClaw queries the Chutes catalog with that
credential and uses the discovered models. If discovery fails, OpenClaw falls
back to a bundled static catalog so onboarding and startup still work.
## Default aliases
OpenClaw registers three convenience aliases for the bundled Chutes catalog:
| Alias | Target model |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `chutes-fast` | `chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-FP8` |
| `chutes-pro` | `chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE` |
| `chutes-vision` | `chutes/chutesai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506` |
## Built-in starter catalog
The bundled fallback catalog includes current Chutes refs:
| Model ref |
| ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE` |
| `chutes/zai-org/GLM-5-TEE` |
| `chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE` |
| `chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528-TEE` |
| `chutes/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5-TEE` |
| `chutes/chutesai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506` |
| `chutes/Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-Next-TEE` |
| `chutes/openai/gpt-oss-120b-TEE` |
## Config example
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE" },
models: {
"chutes/zai-org/GLM-4.7-TEE": { alias: "Chutes GLM 4.7" },
"chutes/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE": { alias: "Chutes DeepSeek V3.2" },
},
},
},
}
```
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion title="OAuth overrides">
You can customize the OAuth flow with optional environment variables:
| Variable | Purpose |
| -------- | ------- |
| `CHUTES_CLIENT_ID` | Custom OAuth client ID |
| `CHUTES_CLIENT_SECRET` | Custom OAuth client secret |
| `CHUTES_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI` | Custom redirect URI |
| `CHUTES_OAUTH_SCOPES` | Custom OAuth scopes |
See the [Chutes OAuth docs](https://chutes.ai/docs/sign-in-with-chutes/overview)
for redirect-app requirements and help.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Notes">
- API-key and OAuth discovery both use the same `chutes` provider id.
- Chutes models are registered as `chutes/<model-id>`.
- If discovery fails at startup, the bundled static catalog is used automatically.
