The recent config-only commit 4ce9d57d558649b2ec912ce4396157a7688342e3 switched models.providers.minimax in openclaw.json to the OpenAI-compatible endpoint:

  • baseUrl: https://api.minimax.io/v1
  • api: openai-completions

In this environment, the installed OpenClaw package documents and ships the MiniMax provider on the Anthropic-compatible endpoint instead. Its local changelog explicitly records that this switch fixes MiniMax invalid role: developer (2013) failures.

Fix Plan

To resolve the issue, we need to update the models.providers.minimax configuration in openclaw.json to use the Anthropic-compatible endpoint.

Step-by-Step Solution

  • Update openclaw.json with the following configuration:
{
  "models": {
    "providers": {
      "minimax": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.minimax.io/anthropic",
        "api": "anthropic-messages"
      }
    }
  }
}
  • Verify that the openclaw package is using the updated configuration by checking the logs or running a test query.

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, check for the following:

  • The invalid role: developer (2013) error is resolved.
  • The MiniMax provider is functioning correctly with the updated configuration.

Extra Tips

  • Ensure that the openclaw package is up-to-date and compatible with the Anthropic-compatible endpoint.
  • Review the CHANGELOG.md and documentation for any additional configuration requirements or updates.
