Both catalogs use the same OpenCode API key infrastructure (
OPENCODE_API_KEY,
alias OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY). Go still requires its own paid subscription;
having a Zen key does not by itself grant Go access. OpenClaw keeps the runtime
provider ids split so upstream per-model routing stays correct.
Getting started
- Zen catalog
- Go catalog
Best for: the curated OpenCode multi-model proxy (Claude, GPT, Gemini, GLM,
DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, Qwen).Or pass the key directly:
1
Run onboarding
2
Set a Zen model as the default
3
Verify models are available
Config example
Provider catalogs
Zen
Run
openclaw models list --provider opencode for the current active list,
which also includes the promoted free-tier rows opencode/big-pickle,
opencode/deepseek-v4-flash-free, opencode/laguna-s-2.1-free,
opencode/ling-3.0-tiny-free, opencode/longcat-2.0-free,
opencode/mimo-v2.5-free,
opencode/nemotron-3-ultra-free, and opencode/north-mini-code-free.
Live discovery safely intersects OpenCode’s returned IDs with trusted OpenClaw
metadata. A key-scoped response can omit models that are unavailable to that
workspace; that absence does not retire the offline definition. Deprecated
explicit refs remain resolvable for existing configurations but are not shown
as current recommendations.

OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY is also accepted as an alias for OPENCODE_API_KEY.Getting an API key
Getting an API key
Create an OpenCode account and generate an API key at
opencode.ai/auth. Billing and catalog
availability are managed from the OpenCode dashboard.
Gemini replay behavior
Gemini replay behavior
Gemini-backed OpenCode refs stay on the proxy-Gemini path, so OpenClaw keeps
Gemini thought-signature sanitation there without enabling native Gemini
replay validation or bootstrap rewrites.
Non-Gemini replay behavior
Non-Gemini replay behavior
Non-Gemini OpenCode refs keep the minimal OpenAI-compatible replay policy.

Billing, retention, and training policies are model-specific. Check the
current OpenCode Zen pricing and policy
before selecting a route. Free models may be temporary feedback programs.
