Pollinations × OpenClaw Builders Night

Get your OpenClaw agent running on Pollinations models in 30 seconds. Hackathon attendees get free API credits — connect your account and start building.

Step 1

Get your free API key — seed tier for attendees

or paste your key manually: enter.pollinations.ai

Step 2

Run the setup script — it writes your API key and model config to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, nothing else. (view source)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pollinations/pollinations/main/apps/openclaw/setup-pollinations.sh \ | bash -s -- YOUR_API_KEY

Step 3

Install or restart OpenClaw:

openclaw onboard --install-daemon

Or paste this into ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{ "env": { "POLLINATIONS_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }, "agents": { "defaults": { "model": { "primary": "pollinations/kimi" }, "models": { "pollinations/kimi": { "alias": "Kimi K2.5" }, "pollinations/deepseek": { "alias": "DeepSeek V3.2" }, "pollinations/glm": { "alias": "GLM-4.7" }, "pollinations/gemini-fast": { "alias": "Gemini Flash Lite" }, "pollinations/claude-fast": { "alias": "Claude Haiku 4.5" } } } }, "models": { "mode": "merge", "providers": { "pollinations": { "baseUrl": "https://gen.pollinations.ai/v1", "apiKey": "${POLLINATIONS_API_KEY}", "api": "openai-completions", "models": [ { "id": "kimi", "name": "Kimi K2.5", "reasoning": true, "input": ["text","image"], "contextWindow": 256000, "maxTokens": 8192 }, { "id": "deepseek", "name": "DeepSeek V3.2", "input": ["text"], "contextWindow": 128000, "maxTokens": 8192 }, { "id": "glm", "name": "GLM-4.7", "input": ["text"], "contextWindow": 128000, "maxTokens": 8192 } ] } } } }

Which model should I use?

Kimi K2.5 default

pollinations/kimi

Best open model for agentic coding. 256K context, vision, tools, reasoning. 77% SWE-Bench.

DeepSeek V3.2

pollinations/deepseek

Strong reasoning & tool calling. Good alternative to Kimi for hard problems.

GLM-4.7

pollinations/glm

Z.ai — coding, reasoning, agentic workflows. Competitive with Kimi.

Gemini Flash Lite

pollinations/gemini-fast

Google — very fast, vision support. Great as a fallback.

Claude Haiku 4.5

pollinations/claude-fast

Anthropic — fast with good reasoning. Claude quality, lower cost.

Claude / Gemini / Grok paid

pollinations/claude · gemini · grok

Premium models. Require paid tier.

Switch models anytime: /model pollinations/deepseek

Image, video & audio

Community-built Pollinations skill by @isaacgounton — gives your agent multi-modal generation.

/skill install isaacgounton/pollinations

This adds image generation (Flux, GPT Image, Imagen 4), video (Veo 3.1, Seedance), text-to-speech (13 voices), and vision analysis to your agent. Separate from the LLM provider setup above.
