# `openclaw-cn models`

Model discovery, scanning, and configuration (default model, fallbacks, auth profiles).

- Provider auth setup: [Getting started](/start/getting-started)

## Common commands

```bash
openclaw-cn models status
openclaw-cn models list
openclaw-cn models set <model-or-alias>
openclaw-cn models scan
```

`openclaw-cn models status` shows the resolved default/fallbacks plus an auth overview.
When provider usage snapshots are available, the OAuth/token status section includes
provider usage headers.
Add `--probe` to run live auth probes against each configured provider profile.
Probes are real requests (may consume tokens and trigger rate limits).

Notes:
- `models set \<model-or-alias\>` accepts `provider/model` or an alias.
- Model refs are parsed by splitting on the **first** `/`. If the model ID includes `/` (OpenRouter-style), include the provider prefix (example: `openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k2`).
- If you omit the provider, Clawdbot treats the input as an alias or a model for the **default provider** (only works when there is no `/` in the model ID).

### `models status`
Options:
- `--json`
- `--plain`
- `--check` (exit 1=expired/missing, 2=expiring)
- `--probe` (live probe of configured auth profiles)
- `--probe-provider \<name\>` (probe one provider)
- `--probe-profile \<id\>` (repeat or comma-separated profile ids)
- `--probe-timeout \<ms\>`
- `--probe-concurrency \<n\>`
- `--probe-max-tokens \<n\>`

## Aliases + fallbacks

```bash
openclaw-cn models aliases list
openclaw-cn models fallbacks list
```

## Auth profiles

```bash
openclaw-cn models auth add
openclaw-cn models auth login --provider <id>
openclaw-cn models auth setup-token
openclaw-cn models auth paste-token
```
`models auth login` runs a provider plugin’s auth flow (OAuth/API key). Use
`openclaw-cn plugins list` to see which providers are installed.

Notes:
- `setup-token` runs `claude setup-token` on the current machine (requires the Claude Code CLI).
- `paste-token` accepts a token string generated elsewhere.
