read_when:

|
|
- You need the API key env var or CLI auth choice

|
|
[Arcee AI](https://arcee.ai) provides the Trinity family of mixture-of-experts models through an OpenAI-compatible API. All Trinity models are Apache 2.0 licensed. Arcee is an official OpenClaw plugin, not bundled with core, so it needs an install step before onboarding.
|
|
|
|
Access Arcee models directly through the Arcee platform or through [OpenRouter](/providers/openrouter).
|
|
|
|
| Property | Value |
|
|
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Provider | `arcee` |
|
|
| Auth | `ARCEEAI_API_KEY` (direct) or `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` (via OpenRouter) |
|
|
| API | OpenAI-compatible |
|
|
| Base URL | `https://api.arcee.ai/api/v1` (direct) or `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` (OpenRouter) |
|
|
|
|
## Install plugin
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/arcee-provider
|
|
openclaw gateway restart
|
|
```

<AccordionGroup>

<Accordion title="Environment note">
|
|
If the Gateway runs as a daemon (launchd/systemd), make sure `ARCEEAI_API_KEY`
|
|
(or `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`) is available to that process, for example in
|
|
`~/.openclaw/.env` or via `env.shellEnv`.
|
|
</Accordion>
|
|
|
|
<Accordion title="OpenRouter routing">
|
|
When using Arcee models via OpenRouter, the same `arcee/*` model refs apply.
|
|
OpenClaw routes transparently based on your auth choice. See the
|
|
[OpenRouter provider docs](/providers/openrouter) for OpenRouter-specific
|
|
configuration details.
