Quickstart
Set up Kimi in OpenClaw
- 1
Set the agent runtime's LLM endpoint. The runtime reads the ANTHROPIC_* variables, the value is your CompanyFabric key, not an Anthropic one:
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.companyfabric.com ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<per-agent CompanyFabric key, sk-cf-…> - 2
Set the agent's model to moonshotai/kimi-k3 and give the key a budget cap, runaway agents stop at the cap, not at the invoice.

What does Kimi K3 cost in OpenClaw?
$3 / M input · $15 / M output, the same metered price as any other route to the model. Set a per-key budget cap to bound what the tool can spend.
Can I switch models later without touching OpenClaw again?
Yes, the endpoint stays the same; the model is a string. Any catalog id works in the same configuration, including cheaper tiers for bulk work.
