description

Configure AIsa as a first-class model provider for OpenClaw, enabling production access to major Chinese AI models (Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi K2.5, Doubao) through official partnerships with Alibaba Cloud, BytePlus, and Moonshot. Use this skill when the user wants to set up Chinese AI models, configure AIsa API access, compare pricing between AIsa and other providers (OpenRouter, Bailian), switch between Qwen/DeepSeek/Kimi models, or troubleshoot AIsa provider configuration in OpenClaw. Also use when the user mentions AISA_API_KEY, asks about Chinese LLM pricing, Kimi K2.5 setup, or needs help with Qwen Key Account setup.

AIsa Provider for OpenClaw

AIsa is a unified API gateway providing production access to China's leading AI models through official partnerships with all major Chinese AI platforms. It is an Alibaba Cloud Qwen Key Account partner, offering the full Qwen model family at discounted pricing, plus models on the Alibaba Bailian aggregation platform (DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM).

AIsa also provides access to Kimi K2.5 (Moonshot AI's flagship reasoning model) at approximately 80% of official pricing.

⚠️ All pricing listed below is for reference. Real-time pricing is subject to change — always check https://marketplace.aisa.one/pricing for the latest rates.

Quick Setup

Option 1: Environment Variable (fastest)

export AISA_API_KEY="your-key-here"

OpenClaw auto-detects AISA_API_KEY and registers AIsa as a provider. No config file changes needed.

Option 2: Interactive Onboarding

openclaw onboard --auth-choice aisa-api-key

Option 3: CLI with Key

openclaw onboard --auth-choice aisa-api-key --aisa-api-key "your-key-here"

Option 4: Manual Config in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

⭐ Kimi K2.5 — Moonshot AI's Flagship Model

Kimi K2.5 is Moonshot AI's latest reasoning model, accessible via AIsa at approximately 80% of official Moonshot pricing.

Key features:

• Strong reasoning and multi-step problem solving
• Competitive performance on coding and math benchmarks
• Available through AIsa's Moonshot partnership

🔒 Zero Data Retention (ZDR) — Enterprise-Grade Privacy

Accessing Kimi K2.5 through AIsa comes with enterprise-level Zero Data Retention guarantees. Users do not need to worry about data privacy — AIsa has executed a formal ZDR agreement with Moonshot AI.

Under the Supplemental Enterprise Service Agreement (dated 10 February 2026) between AIsa and Kimi (Moonshot AI PTE. LTD.):

• Customer data is NOT retained by Moonshot after processing
• Generated outputs are NOT stored on Moonshot's infrastructure
• No data is used for model training — your prompts and completions remain private
• Processing is governed by contractual enterprise terms, not consumer ToS

This makes AIsa the recommended path for privacy-sensitive or enterprise workloads that require access to Kimi K2.5. When calling Kimi K2.5 directly via Moonshot's consumer API, standard consumer data policies apply — by routing through AIsa, your data benefits from the negotiated ZDR protections.

⚠️ Important: Temperature restriction

Kimi K2.5 only accepts temperature=1.0. Using any other value will return an error:

Error: invalid temperature: only 1 is allowed for this model

If your OpenClaw config or agent sets a different temperature, override it for Kimi:

/model aisa/kimi-k2.5

OpenClaw will use the model's default temperature when not explicitly set.

Kimi K2.5 Pricing Comparison (per 1M tokens):

Metric	AIsa	Moonshot Official	Savings

Official Partnerships

AIsa maintains verified partnerships with:

• Alibaba Cloud — Qwen Key Account (full model family, 3 global regions: CN, US-Virginia, Singapore)
• BytePlus — Doubao by ByteDance
• DeepSeek — via Alibaba Cloud integration
• Moonshot — Kimi K2.5 integration, with enterprise Zero Data Retention (ZDR) agreement (effective Feb 10, 2026)

Qwen Region Support

AIsa provides access to Qwen models across 3 global regions via Alibaba Cloud:

• 🇨🇳 China (default)
• 🇺🇸 US (Virginia)
• 🇸🇬 Singapore

This is unique to AIsa's Key Account status. Other providers like OpenRouter or the free Qwen Portal typically route through CN only.

Response Latency (tested Feb 2026)

Model	Avg Latency	Rating
Qwen3 Max	~1,577 ms	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fastest
Qwen MT Flash	~1,918 ms	⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast
Kimi K2.5	~2,647 ms	⭐⭐⭐ Medium
DeepSeek V3.1	~3,002 ms	⭐⭐⭐ Medium
Qwen Plus	~8,207 ms	⭐⭐ Slower

Troubleshooting

"503 - No available channels" error

The model ID may be incorrect or outdated. Check the Model ID Versioning section above for correct IDs. Common fixes:

• qwen3-plus → use qwen-plus-2025-12-01
• qwen3-flash → use qwen-mt-flash

"Model not found" error

Ensure the model ID uses the aisa/ prefix in OpenClaw config:

✅ aisa/qwen3-max
❌ qwen3-max

Kimi K2.5 "invalid temperature" error

Kimi K2.5 only accepts temperature=1.0. If your config sets a different temperature, add a model-specific override or let OpenClaw use the default.

Kimi K2.5 empty response

In rare cases Kimi K2.5 may return empty content while consuming output tokens. Retry the request — this is typically transient.

API key not detected

1. Check env var: echo $AISA_API_KEY
2. Or verify in config: openclaw config get auth.profiles
3. Re-run onboarding: openclaw onboard --auth-choice aisa-api-key

Streaming not working

AIsa uses the OpenAI-compatible API (openai-completions). Ensure your config has:

"api": "openai-completions"

Rate limits or daily caps

AIsa has no daily request limits (unlike the free Qwen Portal which caps at 2,000 req/day).

Get an API Key

1. Visit https://marketplace.aisa.one/
2. Sign up and create an API key
3. Set it as AISA_API_KEY or use the onboarding wizard
