OpenClaw ClawHub plugin
Install @abliterationai/openclaw-abliteration-provider from ClawHub or npm to register abliteration.ai as an OpenClaw provider.
The @abliterationai/openclaw-abliteration-provider package is the plugin-first way to use abliteration.ai from OpenClaw. Install it from ClawHub or npm, enable the abliteration plugin, and run OpenClaw onboarding with your abliteration.ai API key.
The plugin registers provider id abliteration, reads ABLITERATION_API_KEY, targets https://api.abliteration.ai/v1, and selects abliteration/abliterated-model as the default model. It is published as version 0.1.0 and declares OpenClaw compatibility with >=2026.4.24.
Use this guide for the packaged plugin. If you prefer to edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json directly, use the manual OpenClaw configuration guide.
openclaw plugins install clawhub:@abliterationai/openclaw-abliteration-provider
openclaw plugins enable abliteration
openclaw gateway restart
export ABLITERATION_API_KEY="ak_YOUR_API_KEY"
openclaw onboard --auth-choice abliteration-api-keyWhat the plugin registers
The package metadata and ClawHub listing identify this as a runtime provider plugin. The provider id is stable, so OpenClaw model references use the abliteration/<model-id> form.

Prerequisites
Install OpenClaw first, then create an abliteration.ai API key before enabling the provider.
- OpenClaw
2026.4.24or newer with theopenclawCLI on your shell path. - An abliteration.ai account with credits. Purchase credits here.
- An abliteration.ai API key that starts with
ak_. - Network access from the OpenClaw gateway to
https://api.abliteration.ai/v1.
Install from ClawHub
ClawHub is the preferred install path because it resolves the plugin by registry identity and shows compatibility metadata before install.
openclaw plugins install clawhub:@abliterationai/openclaw-abliteration-provider
openclaw plugins enable abliteration
openclaw gateway restartInstall from npm
Use npm package resolution if your OpenClaw environment installs plugins directly from npm packages.
openclaw plugins install @abliterationai/openclaw-abliteration-provider
openclaw plugins enable abliteration
openclaw gateway restartConfigure the API key
The plugin requires ABLITERATION_API_KEY. Export it in the shell that runs OpenClaw, or provide it directly to OpenClaw onboarding.
# Put this in ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.profile
export ABLITERATION_API_KEY="ak_YOUR_API_KEY"
# Reload your shell
source ~/.zshrc # or source ~/.bashrc
# Run the plugin's guided auth flow
openclaw onboard --auth-choice abliteration-api-keyNon-interactive setup
For CI, dotfile bootstrap scripts, or remote machines, pass the API key to onboarding without prompts.
openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
--mode local \
--auth-choice abliteration-api-key \
--abliteration-api-key "$ABLITERATION_API_KEY" \
--skip-health \
--accept-riskVerify the provider
After onboarding, restart the gateway and run a short agent prompt. The plugin should route the request to abliteration/abliterated-model using the API key you provided.
openclaw gateway restart
openclaw config show
openclaw agent --agent main --message "ping"ClawHub verification notes
The ClawHub listing links the release to source metadata and shows the plugin as a code-executing provider plugin with runtime id abliteration. Because provider plugins execute code inside OpenClaw, review the package source and publisher before installing in a production workstation.
If ClawHub shows a warning about missing credential metadata, the important operational detail is that the plugin does require exactly one credential: ABLITERATION_API_KEY. Do not paste that key into public logs or shared terminal transcripts.
Troubleshooting
Most plugin setup issues are install source, OpenClaw version, or missing API key problems.
- Plugin install fails — update OpenClaw to
2026.4.24or newer, then retry the ClawHub command. - Provider does not appear — run
openclaw plugins enable abliterationand restart the gateway. - 401 Unauthorized — confirm
ABLITERATION_API_KEYis exported and starts withak_. - Model not found — use the provider-qualified id
abliteration/abliterated-modelin OpenClaw config and agent defaults. - 402 Insufficient Credits — top up from the pricing page.
- 429 Rate limited — wait for the retry window or reduce parallel agent activity.
- You need Anthropic Messages instead of Responses — use the manual OpenClaw config guide, which points OpenClaw at
/v1/messages.
