Grok models from xAI with strong general capability and real-time leanings.
Why xAI for your OpenClaw agent
xAI’s Grok models are capable general-purpose LLMs with a focus on up-to-date, conversational responses. A solid alternative frontier option for agents.
Choose xAI if you prefer Grok’s style for your OpenClaw assistant. Representative models: Grok family.

Frequently asked questions
Can I run OpenClaw on xAI models?+
Yes. VibeOpenClaw supports xAI as one of 13 BYOK providers. Add your xAI API key on the API Keys page, create an OpenClaw agent, and select a xAI model — your agent is live in about 30 seconds.
Where do I get a xAI API key?+
Create one in the xAI dashboard (https://console.x.ai), then paste it into VibeOpenClaw’s API Keys page. It’s encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and only decrypted in-process to make model calls.
Does VibeOpenClaw mark up xAI usage?+
No. It’s true BYOK — you pay xAI directly for inference and we never proxy or mark up your usage. Your hosting fee ($24/mo Pro, $48/mo Premium) is separate from your model spend.
Can I switch models or providers later?+
Yes. You can change the model on an agent, or add keys for other providers, at any time — your agent isn’t locked to xAI.
Which plan do I need?+
Any plan works with xAI. Pro ($24/mo) runs 1 OpenClaw agent; Premium ($48/mo) runs up to 3 OpenClaw or Hermes agents and adds Slack.
