+# Using LiteLLM with OpenClaw
+
+[OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai) is a personal AI assistant that runs locally and connects to your messaging platforms (Slack, Discord, Telegram, etc.). LiteLLM can be used as the model provider backend, giving you access to 100+ LLMs through a unified API.
+
+## Why use LiteLLM with OpenClaw?
+
+- **Model flexibility**: Switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Bedrock, and more without changing your OpenClaw config
+- **Cost tracking**: Monitor spend across all your AI interactions
+- **Enterprise support**: Use Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or Vertex AI through LiteLLM proxy
+- **Load balancing**: Distribute requests across multiple API keys or providers
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Start LiteLLM Proxy
+
+```bash
+litellm --model gpt-4o
+```
+
+Or with a config file for multiple models:
+
+```yaml
+# litellm_config.yaml
+model_list:
+  - model_name: gpt-4o
+    litellm_params:
+      model: gpt-4o
+      api_key: os.environ/OPENAI_API_KEY
+  - model_name: claude-sonnet
+    litellm_params:
+      model: claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+      api_key: os.environ/ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+```
+
+```bash
+litellm --config litellm_config.yaml
+```
+
+### 2. Configure OpenClaw
+
+In your OpenClaw config (`~/.openclaw/config.yaml`):
+
+```yaml
+providers:
+  litellm:
+    baseUrl: http://localhost:4000/v1
+    apiKey: sk-your-litellm-key  # Optional if no auth configured
+
+models:
+  default: litellm/gpt-4o
+  # Or use Claude through LiteLLM:
+  # default: litellm/claude-sonnet
+```
+
+### 3. Start OpenClaw
+
+```bash
+openclaw gateway start
+```
+
+OpenClaw will now route all model requests through your LiteLLM proxy.
+
+## Using LiteLLM Cloud (Hosted)
+
+If you're using [LiteLLM Cloud](https://litellm.ai), configure OpenClaw with your cloud endpoint:
+
+```yaml
+providers:
+  litellm:
+    baseUrl: https://api.litellm.ai/v1
+    apiKey: sk-your-litellm-cloud-key
+
+models:
+  default: litellm/gpt-4o
+```
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Multiple Model Routing
+
+Configure different models for different tasks:
+
+```yaml
+providers:
+  litellm:
+    baseUrl: http://localhost:4000/v1
+
+models:
+  default: litellm/gpt-4o
+  reasoning: litellm/o1-preview
+  fast: litellm/gpt-4o-mini
+  vision: litellm/gpt-4o
+```
+
+### Using Azure OpenAI through LiteLLM
+
+LiteLLM config:
+```yaml
+model_list:
+  - model_name: gpt-4o
+    litellm_params:
+      model: azure/gpt-4o-deployment
+      api_base: https://your-resource.openai.azure.com
+      api_key: os.environ/AZURE_API_KEY
+      api_version: "2024-02-15-preview"
+```
+
+OpenClaw sees this as `litellm/gpt-4o` - no Azure-specific config needed.
+
+### Using AWS Bedrock through LiteLLM
+
+LiteLLM config:
+```yaml
+model_list:
+  - model_name: claude-sonnet
+    litellm_params:
+      model: bedrock/anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0
+      aws_access_key_id: os.environ/AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
+      aws_secret_access_key: os.environ/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+      aws_region_name: us-east-1
+```
+
+OpenClaw config:
+```yaml
+models:
+  default: litellm/claude-sonnet
+```
+
+## Tool Calling & Function Support
+
+LiteLLM fully supports tool/function calling, which OpenClaw uses extensively. All tools defined in your OpenClaw skills will work through LiteLLM.
+
+Monitor tool calls in the LiteLLM dashboard:
+- See which tools were called per request
+- Track success/failure rates
+- Debug tool execution issues
+
+## Cost Tracking
+
+LiteLLM tracks costs for all requests. View spend in the LiteLLM UI or via API:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:4000/spend/logs
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection refused
+Ensure LiteLLM proxy is running and the `baseUrl` is correct.
+
+### Model not found
+Check that the model name in OpenClaw matches a `model_name` in your LiteLLM config.
+
+### Authentication errors
+Verify your API keys are set correctly in the LiteLLM config.
