Providers
NVIDIA
NVIDIA provides an OpenAI-compatible API at https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1 for
open models for free. Authenticate with an API key from
build.nvidia.com.
Getting started
Get your API key
Create an API key at build.nvidia.com.
Export the key and run onboarding
export NVIDIA_API_KEY="nvapi-..."
openclaw onboard --auth-choice nvidia-api-key
Set an NVIDIA model
openclaw models set nvidia/nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b
For non-interactive setup, you can also pass the key directly:
openclaw onboard --auth-choice nvidia-api-key --nvidia-api-key "nvapi-..."
Config example
{
env: { NVIDIA_API_KEY: "nvapi-..." },
models: {
providers: {
nvidia: {
baseUrl: "https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1",
api: "openai-completions",
},
},
},
agents: {
defaults: {
model: { primary: "nvidia/nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b" },
},
},
}

Advanced configuration
Auto-enable behavior
The provider auto-enables when the NVIDIA_API_KEY environment variable is set.
No explicit provider config is required beyond the key.
Catalog and pricing
The bundled catalog is static. Costs default to 0 in source since NVIDIA
currently offers free API access for the listed models.
OpenAI-compatible endpoint
NVIDIA uses the standard /v1 completions endpoint. Any OpenAI-compatible
tooling should work out of the box with the NVIDIA base URL.
Slow custom provider responses
Some NVIDIA-hosted custom models can take longer than the default model idle watchdog before they emit a first response chunk. For custom NVIDIA provider entries, raise the provider timeout instead of raising the whole agent runtime timeout:
{
models: {
providers: {
"custom-integrate-api-nvidia-com": {
baseUrl: "https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1",
api: "openai-completions",
apiKey: "NVIDIA_API_KEY",
timeoutSeconds: 300,
},
},
},
agents: {
defaults: {
models: {
"custom-integrate-api-nvidia-com/meta/llama-3.1-70b-instruct": {
params: { thinking: "off" },
},
},
},
},
}
