How to Connect Openclaw to Oracle OCI LLM Models

This guide explains how to connect Large Language Models hosted and ready to use on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure AI service to OpenClaw using LiteLLM (selfhosted) as a proxy layer without the need to deploy a dedicated cluster. In fact, Oracle provides a range of ready-to-use models on demand. Logical flow: OpenClaw → LiteLLM → Oracle OCI Generative AI OpenClaw never talks directly to OCI. It speaks OpenAI compatible APIs to LiteLLM. LiteLLM translates and forwards requests to Oracle’s Generative AI…
