openclaw-infer（OpenClaw infer 搜索）

OpenClaw Infer

Prefer openclaw infer ... as the first-party CLI for inference work.

Use --json when output should be machine-readable or piped into another step. The normal local path does not require the gateway to be running.

Setup

Requires binary: openclaw on PATH.

Install if missing:

npm install -g openclaw

Quick verification:

openclaw infer model providers --json

If working from a local OpenClaw checkout instead of a global install, use that checkout's built openclaw CLI.

Selection rules

• Prefer infer over older wrapper skills or provider-specific CLIs unless the user explicitly asks for that provider or workflow.
• Prefer explicit --provider or --model provider/model only when the user asks for a specific backend.
• Keep the command family flat:

- infer image ... - infer audio ... - infer tts ... - infer video ... - infer web ... - infer embedding ...
