summary: "Use Z.AI (GLM models) with OpenClaw"
read_when:
- You want Z.AI / GLM models in OpenClaw
- You need a simple ZAI_API_KEY setup
title: "Z.AI"

# Z.AI
Z.AI is the API platform for **GLM** models. It provides REST APIs for GLM and uses API keys
for authentication. Create your API key in the Z.AI console. OpenClaw uses the `zai` provider
with a Z.AI API key.
## CLI setup
```bash
openclaw onboard --auth-choice zai-api-key
# or non-interactive
openclaw onboard --zai-api-key "$ZAI_API_KEY"
```
## Config snippet
```json5
{
env: { ZAI_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "zai/glm-5" } } },
}
```
## Notes
- GLM models are available as `zai/<model>` (example: `zai/glm-5`).
- `tool_stream` is enabled by default for Z.AI tool-call streaming. Set
`agents.defaults.models["zai/<model>"].params.tool_stream` to `false` to disable it.
- See [/providers/glm](/providers/glm) for the model family overview.
- Z.AI uses Bearer auth with your API key.
