Providers

Fireworks

Fireworks exposes open-weight and routed models through an OpenAI-compatible API. OpenClaw includes a bundled Fireworks provider plugin that ships with two pre-cataloged Kimi models and accepts any Fireworks model or router id at runtime.

Property Value
Provider id fireworks (alias: fireworks-ai)
Plugin bundled, enabledByDefault: true
Auth env var FIREWORKS_API_KEY
Onboarding flag --auth-choice fireworks-api-key
Direct CLI flag --fireworks-api-key <key>
API OpenAI-compatible (openai-completions)
Base URL https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1
Default model fireworks/accounts/fireworks/routers/kimi-k2p5-turbo
Default alias Kimi K2.5 Turbo

Getting started

  • Set the Fireworks API key

    openclaw onboard --auth-choice fireworks-api-key
    
    openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
    --auth-choice fireworks-api-key \
    --fireworks-api-key "$FIREWORKS_API_KEY"
    
    export FIREWORKS_API_KEY=fw-...
    

    Onboarding stores the key against the fireworks provider in your auth profiles and sets the Fire Pass Kimi K2.5 Turbo router as the default model.

  • Verify the model is available

    openclaw models list --provider fireworks
    

    The list should include Kimi K2.6 and Kimi K2.5 Turbo (Fire Pass). If FIREWORKS_API_KEY is unresolved, openclaw models status --json reports the missing credential under auth.unusableProfiles.

  • Non-interactive setup

    For scripted or CI installs, pass everything on the command line:

    openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
      --mode local \
      --auth-choice fireworks-api-key \
      --fireworks-api-key "$FIREWORKS_API_KEY" \
      --skip-health \
      --accept-risk

    Custom Fireworks model ids

    OpenClaw accepts any Fireworks model or router id at runtime. Use the exact id shown by Fireworks and prefix it with fireworks/. Dynamic resolution clones the Fire Pass template (text + image input, OpenAI-compatible API, default cost zero) and disables thinking automatically when the id matches the Kimi pattern.

    {
      agents: {
        defaults: {
          model: {
            primary: "fireworks/accounts/fireworks/models/<your-model-id>",
          },
        },
      },
    }
    
    How model id prefixing works

    Every Fireworks model ref in OpenClaw starts with fireworks/ followed by the exact id or router path from the Fireworks platform. For example:

    • Router model: fireworks/accounts/fireworks/routers/kimi-k2p5-turbo
    • Direct model: fireworks/accounts/fireworks/models/<model-name>

    OpenClaw strips the fireworks/ prefix when constructing the API request and sends the remaining path to the Fireworks endpoint as the OpenAI-compatible model field.

    Why thinking is forced off for Kimi

    Fireworks K2.6 returns a 400 if the request carries reasoning_* parameters even though Kimi supports thinking through Moonshot's own API. The bundled policy (extensions/fireworks/thinking-policy.ts) advertises only the off thinking level for Kimi model ids, so manual /think switches and provider-policy surfaces stay aligned with the runtime contract.

    To use Kimi reasoning end-to-end, configure the Moonshot provider and route the same model through it.

    Environment availability for the daemon

    If the Gateway runs as a managed service (launchd, systemd, Docker), the Fireworks key must be visible to that process — not just to your interactive shell.

    On macOS, openclaw gateway install already wires ~/.openclaw/.env into the LaunchAgent environment file. Re-run install (or openclaw doctor --fix) after rotating the key.
