3.13.3 Configure AI models
Open Settings → Models & providers. Runtime, model-service, and action-confirmation controls are grouped here but have separate effects.
Runtime
Moss is built in. DSH can be selected after its availability check succeeds. Use Check runtime availability again to inspect readiness and reasons.
Changing the default affects newly created tasks only; existing tasks keep their runtime. The composer shows the current task runtime or the default for a new task and links back to settings. Unavailable DSH does not automatically switch to Moss.
Current model
Model configuration primarily serves Moss. Choose a saved model, add and enable one, or edit, test, and delete the current entry.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Display name | A recognizable name |
| Provider | The actual provider, or the corresponding compatible interface |
| Model ID / name | The complete value supplied by the provider |
| API key | Enter it in settings; retain or replace saved keys as instructed |
| Base URL | The endpoint supplied by your provider or team |
Test the provider API, then select Save or Add and enable. If saving fails, read the error; entering new fields does not mean the configuration was saved.
Where available, the composer model selector can switch models. A redundant selector may be hidden when only one default Moss alias exists. Moss model configuration does not rebind DSH tasks or serve as DSH model settings.
Built-in and local models
Reapply the built-in preset if the deployment has one available. Follow missing-key or missing-preset messages. Keep built-in presets only deletes extra local model entries, so check which configurations you need first.
Install and download Ollama models on Local models. Confirm tool-calling support before selecting Set as main model configuration. Board OpenClaw requires a model endpoint reachable from the board.
MCP and legacy Agent diagnostics
Manage custom tool connections under MCP services, subject to deployment permissions. Legacy Agent diagnostics describe compatible-session installation or invocation issues; they do not make external coding Agents selectable in the current workbench.
