#Problem connecting to grok
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
This one is an xAI auth problem, not a Discord/channel problem: OpenClaw tried xai/grok-4.3, skipped the whole xai provider because auth failed, then had no fallback model left.
First, can you share:
openclaw --version
openclaw models status
openclaw models auth list --provider xai
The usual fix is to make sure the gateway host has a valid XAI_API_KEY configured, then restart/reload the gateway. You can configure it via onboarding:
openclaw onboard --auth-choice xai-api-key
or put XAI_API_KEY=... somewhere the gateway actually loads it from, e.g. ~/.openclaw/.env if the gateway runs as a service. Then check again with:
openclaw models status --probe
