Peter Steinberger f7d7148cf0 docs: rewrite published docs grounded in current source (#100142)
Source-grounded rewrite of 529 published docs pages with per-unit information-loss verification: 1,713 factual corrections cited to src/**, generated surfaces regenerated, frontmatter titles preserved for i18n, release notes pages untouched. All docs gates green.

Closes #100141

summary: "Use DeepInfra's unified API to access the most popular open source and frontier models in OpenClaw"
read_when:
- You want a single API key for the top open source LLMs
- You want to run models via DeepInfra's API in OpenClaw
title: "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-provider
openclaw gateway restart
```
## Get an API key
1. Sign in at [deepinfra.com](https://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](https://deepinfra.com/) works with the
`deepinfra/` prefix:
```text
deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash
deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2
deepinfra/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5
deepinfra/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5
deepinfra/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B
deepinfra/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>`.
