Use OpenAI

View as Markdown

The OpenAI provider routes NemoClaw inference to the OpenAI API through OpenShell. The agent calls https://api.openai.com/v1 through a sandbox-attached OpenShell provider. OpenShell injects the credential; the sandbox receives only a placeholder.

Credential

Set OPENAI_API_KEY in the host shell before onboarding. NemoClaw uses provider-aware validation during credential retries.

Model Choices

The onboarding wizard offers these curated model IDs.

  • gpt-5.4.
  • gpt-5.4-mini.
  • gpt-5.4-nano.
  • gpt-5.4-pro-2026-03-05.

Onboard

Run the onboarding wizard and select OpenAI.

Select a model when the wizard prompts you. NemoClaw validates the selected provider and model before creating the sandbox.

Validation

NemoClaw tries the OpenAI /responses route first and then falls back to /chat/completions during validation. The wizard retries transient upstream failures before it reports a provider failure.
