I reported this one in the beta. guess it got lost in the chaos.
@BenTh thanks that’s a reasonable and understandable response. But folks being dicks on here is super uncalled for.
ok switched to 5.4-mini let's see how this goes
real
i'd love to know the end result of what you decide on
thanks it seems much better right out the gate
@pallid kestrel I think I know what you are saying, by the project putting an OpenAI harness it disadvantages other models incentivising more people to use OpenAI with OpenClaw, that being said, it is an open source project, nothing is stopping the other providers like Anthropic submitting code to use their own as well. If the project did not accept it from other projects I get your point although that has not happened yet
With the recent changes to anthropic, is there anything I need to do differently to leverage the free agentic tokens or will it start using those by default until they're used up?
Lol at least when it still gets your telegram messages it can fix the rest xd
@solid pecan Exactly.
This is the exact issue I had. I had my agent fix it you can see my earlier messages here to give your agent an idea for the fix
This is where the hostility started Mikey Mike
And this is discord. Everyone acts like a dick and it’s not personal
🍿
did you submit a github issue and PR?
People should be dicks less and more helpful and understanding of each other
No. Too lazy and also I doubt they will see it with all the other shit they got on there. Feel free do to it though
It’s also not that deep or even that big of a change it’s literally one line config change. The only difference is codex welcomes Openclaw Anthropic does not.
Yea like Anthropic should just submit their own as well
I think they're ignoring my issues now. lol
I have no problem with the OpenAI harness by the way
There’s nothing to really submit Anthropic doesn’t allow it
They’re so tight on compute they don’t want consumer anymore. They want corporate only. Much more profitable
I also got mostly ignored with my questions here lol. Or “make sure to install it from an official source” bruh it doesn’t get much more official than hackable install
I need to figure out what's going on with discord. If I can't, I'll have to revert to 4.23 (again)
@BK @solid pecan Ok, well if it doesn’t affect me I won’t spend more cycles on it.
Which is why @pallid kestrel should not blame the OpenClaw project 😄
What’s your question
@solid pecan Nobody is blaming anybody. I’m asking a legit question.
women
Ikr?
I think you are looking it from an egalitarian point of view and a little too ideologically pure, "we need to treat all the harnesses the same". Although in the real world it does not work that way because some companies like Anthropic hates
👌 👌
damn yea 5.4-mini is super expensive
I moved all dependencies into a docker container on my Mac after all the latest supply chain attacks and now even the smallest or takes so long
@cold jacinth this was one of them.
Your also free to change the harness back from codex to Pi if you do use a codex model but I don’t recommend it
rip ig
Amigo, I’ve gotta be honest… using a weak model is asking for trouble
too expensive for me already. i need to get a local model i suppose
@cold jacinth also my bot wasted tokens answering this other one.
@solid pecan Yes, I don’t understand Anthropic’s position.
You need to understand in life that it is not up to you to sometimes balance the scale.
They’re greedy and want more api money
It's simply a cost optimization on their end
Why should people using OpenAI be punished?
Well, my answer is no. Telegram is fine.
For most people the update has been smooth. Historically issues like this can be config / not system
When you have limited compute, you need to maximize profit on every token
@solid pecan thanks, now I understand what I was doing wrong.
OpenAI is being great to users because they want market share but they lose tons and tons of money
It’s risky
like jeeeeesusss
openai are tryna convince us they have some cool security thing and then boom its jsut gpt 5.5
Enjoy it while it lasts
so its ass 😭
Compute will never be as cheap as it is today
are you using API?
why do you think
We are living in the golden age of cheap ai
happened again. Sent a message to the agent via telegram. I see the agent "typing" and see the tool working messages... then once it has an answer, it doesn't get sent to telegram (but it's in the webchat)
bro stop saying this this gonna make me cry
nothing in the log
it'll get cheaper some day
I think the cost of tokens will drop again, DeepSeek V4 Pro is very good, open source coding models like Kimi as well are decent
He’s right
That causing pricing pressure
Completely incorrect
actually bk i have a question, Dont you think claude will always want to compete with the cheapa sf chinese models
4.23 still?
I am not moving off 4.23 until LTS 😄
claude will need to compete with the ever better chinese models thatcost nothing
fusion is nearly achevied energy has never been cheaper
I'm going back to 4.23. 5.12 has telegram and discord issues.
People liken it to the fiber optic spend of the 90s but fiber optics don’t have a useful life. Yes billions and billions are being poured into data centers. Those chips wear down. Nobody will want to replace them
What are these so called better Chinese models you speak of
I have tried changing for the 4th time spent 4 hours fixing and reverted 
fibre is so cheap
my fibre wifi is like 20$ a month for 2.5gb
or did i understand it wrong
I think the same core issue remains that it does not scale to claws with lots of memories and sessions etc
Yeah because the 90s people expected more and lost a ton laying it that companies can use today
But you won’t be able to use an H200 in 5 years
Yeah I came to the same conclusion
ai will always be around the price it is now
You’ll have to replace it
LPU are used more and more. Cerebras has a huge deal with openai
6.8 billion people have still NEVER used AI. This means the cost of inference must go down by innovating chip design and building data centers before we even think about having a wider adoption
cerebras stock price is 350$ per stock on ipo
its closer to 6B
Frontier models for coding imo unfortunately will only go up
Yea it seems if you run a fresh install it is fine although not if you upgrade from one you have been using for months
qwen. 500B ?
Yeah, well I sicced my agent on it and it found a bug and monkey patched it. Now it works. It’s an issue with the message tool.
We’ll start getting a lot of local models for things people currently use free ChatGPT for
File an issue in gh
i run local models so ill be fine
i invested like 40K into local servers
That still means that most have never used it. AI providers are choking on the 1%-4% power users and the chatbot users.
Deepseek v4 flash can now work on 128GB vram
Honestly, I been using DeepSeek V4 Pro along with Codex 5.5 for coding and the combination has been great
Geeesus, general going brrrrrrr
i can run 4 instances of it
What are you running on
yea they less
An H200 is 30k minimum PER UNIT
if your getting them direct from your employer its way cheaper than like ebay
What do you do with all that compute?
Can it fix OpenClaw? 😄
was running kimi for awhile
Have you tried DeepSeek V4 local yet?
im Gonna rethink what i run over the next week
Im just about to start downloading
It is very good, I am using it via Ollama Cloud and I am happy with it
with my wifi it esimateds 865Gb to take 40 minutes nice
It is probs pretty much at the level as GPT 5.5 maybe just slightly behind
For coding I think Codex is still better although DeepSeek's 1M context window is nice
I ran subq 12M context model
and its REALLY nice but not really that powerful at coding
Is that good?
I applied although they never sent it probs too late
it doesnt get fucking dumb?
i wonder if my little machine can handle ollama
whats ur machine
its 8gb ram mid 2011 mac mini running linux mint lol
So its really good for large and long tasks, But overall the smarts kinda puts the power and context to shame
prolly nothing good no hahah
i think i'm cooked for running anything locally
you can run 4B models barley
i tried running something on my VPS and it was quite shitty
yeahh cloud puts much local to shame
Nothing beats cloud
should i just get a newer mac mini for this stuff?
I’m not sure if this is just my imagination, but my openclaw agent feels more disconnected than ever. Like, when I switch from using codex over to another model like Gemini, it doesn’t seem to properly remember the conversation history that happened. I don’t remember this being an issue before…
Not yet !
Just use cloud
im looking into purchasing some Cerebras Wafers for about 250
any recs there
Can try Ollama for free to start I use codex / ChatGPT oauth tho
are u using API for that gpt 5 nano youre using?
i'm using openrouter
i'd like to get a better larger model running locally vs. paying $4-5 a day for tokens
yea it's api
i bet you'd get much more value for gpt 100 sub a month
There’s your problem
100000000%
if youre already paying 5 a day just buy a gpt 100 sub
upgrade gpt and what use oauth?
Correct
you get way more value
i have perplexity, vercel, claude, chatgpt, lol'
cursor
i have 200 sub and i cant even hit the limits
yea i pay a ton of subs
gpt
youre doing yourself a disservice with so many subs and also paying for api
i gotta figure it out i just did this because it was easy and fast
it aint easy its complicated XD
now that i'm learning more i know i need to do things differently
Oauth is easier and faster
i didn't know i could oauth with openclaw
i'll have to take a look when i get back later on because i'm down to not pay for api
read the docs https://docs.openclaw.ai/
lol
but fr
Literally 1 command
read? docs?
yes read. you spent so much money by not doing it and winging it
i spent like $8
couldve read the docs and understood to not do what you're doing
lmao
i'm jk
Man I sub to OpenAI and Claude and I wonder to myself why I have 2… 7 dear god
SubMaxxing
you do you man just read
Who has used 5.12 so far, what's the feedback. Will fix stuff. Positive feedback is okay too.
cool will tackle this later. thanks for the tips
I have not attempted another upgrade from 4.26 although can you please let me know if OpenClaw setups with lots of sessions and memory etc scale to the new versions with ActiveMemory? I find when I upgrade my CPU goes nuts
I thought they fixed that
I seen some people still report issues though
love the codex harness
I manually fixed myself before so I’m not the best example
Codex Harness = AI MegaCorp 😄
Hey since the last update openclaw will send me a telegram message, delete it, send the next message, delete it, send the final message.
Almost as if it's "thinking out loud" and deleting all those thoughts. It's kind of annoying. I have telegram streaming set to partial, is this expected behaviour?
the world runs on billionaires, i want to eat them
tho without the common men they would have nothing
I just want unlimited usage
who doesnt
That is all I really want as wellm, a source of unlimited tokens hahaha
be a multi millionaire its easy
anything we can do to improve?
appreciate it though
You're a Codex bro?
idk if i'm a codex bro but i do work on the codex team

That's what i mean 
Great work!
Do they plan on making Codex App have more an more OpenClaw features @full granite?
What is current situation with Claude subscription in openclaw?
I successfully connected code subscription to openclaw but alo received a letter that might indicate that for 3rd party is API accesss and subscription is for interactive claude tools only
did you see heartbeats?
im nearing my max tokens
nothing yet from me as a casual user, hasn’t been long enough to judge
i call myself a casual user but use it the whole day 
I think I saw something about it, I use Linux mostly so only been using the unofficial Codex App that lets you run it although it has been coming along very well
Make windows integration a bit better for non macOS plebs like myself
did update go smoothly? that's my biggest fear
@full granite is there plans for Codex App to have an indexing system for code like Cursor? Ithink that is one thing it is missing
14 Agents, per agemt about 8-10 sessions 1m and everything smooth as hell
@desert nimbus got IT to provision a windows computer just for this lol
are you asking me about RAG rn
Might give it another go in a docker container
upgrade went smooth from 4.23 to 5.12 🙌 i panicked a bit but i forgot to install the discord plugin 😂
More so how Cursor does the code indexing, it works very good and hoping Codex App can have it as well
smoothest update since 4.27 lol and doctor fix doesnt nuke anything
What's good about it? faster at searching for stuff?
isn’t this antigravity manager?
Codex extention in VS code is really buggy. One of the issues is that it get's stuck thinking visually but continues the task but when a new prompt is submitted it errors saying something about can't load conversation so i need to close VS code and open it back up then the conversation shows with the finished task. This happens mutiple times a day. Also i would litterally kill to have the ability to add more than one Codex tab (at the moment it will not allow more than one)
this time i didnt use hermes for updating (lol just use that lil bastdard for rescuing my little lobby) and oc updatet itself perfectly
That is the main thing yea, I use Codex mostly although when I have really large tasks I go to Cursor then get Codex to clean it up. Cursor can access relevant parts of a large code base faster. Really hoping Codex can just do this soon
Yeah, VS code extension could use some love. We've been to wrapped up in the app
replies are quicker i’ve noticed :)
@full granite I used ChunkHound with Codex to help give me a Cursor like index and it kinda helps https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound th
waaaay quicker espacily in telegram
Any plans to include Linux?
Yes, please include Linux 🙂
discord here too
just know we're all doing our best 😅
and most important thing.. no timeouts with codex watchdog
was the most anyoing thing
on long runs
Any plans on using inter-demential data transfer through warmholes straight from the datacenters to the computer?

common it can't be that hard
If it helps @full granite my own empirical analysis is that Codex CLI starts to struggle to find code once you get to 500k lines, that is when it is well modulised as well, I have not tested with legacy monlithic systems although I feel that is around the point where indexing is almost needed
500k lines 
The codex harness has been incredible. The amount of improvement in such a short period of time is truly commendable.
Enterprise systems are a different beast lol
CODEX IS FIRE IMO. If i could afford the $200 plan i would do it in an instant. I love Codex
I burn through two Codex Pro accounts a week 😄
Surprisingly positive vibes, thanks guys
Codex is awesome, it actually made me switch from Claude back in January
its been rough couple of last weeks but its bouncing back up ⬆️
I was a heavy claude user. When i used Codex i was hooked and never looked back. I started with 5.3-codex
I just want it to be even better 😄
This was my exact experience I think with Codex 5.1
The problem with Claude is you always need to fix it, it writes bad code
Honestly i didn't realize how much claude actually sucked until i started using Codex
including opus
I suppose it's a preference, but I also don't like how Claude can be rather unpredictable, and it's creativity is not always desired...
Oh it will. I'm so hyped for what's coming
Were you using Claude before Claude Code with all those artifact windows and stuff? I do not think it was ever that good
Awesome, that is what we need. Codex has made my job so much better
Used to have to work to 3am every night, now can go home at 5 haha
IT'S GONNA BE EVEN BETTER THAN IT IS NOW?????

Yes, it is going to have codex indexing 😄 ... I am just saying this to promote what I want to the top of the road map hahahaha
Now you can be at a park using codex on your phone
whaaat 👀
Through Cursor mostly
even as a european???
Does it have remote prompting now?? I been using OpenClaw ACP for that
I still use some claude but honestly Codex is better
lol yes
:0
Although ACP does not work the best for OpenClaw yet ...
I was already remoting from my phone to my linux to use Codex. Really cool it's in app now too!
For while I modified that openclaw-codex-app-server plugin so the agent could just deliver prompts to fresh codex session directly. Just to avoid the way acpx would polute some things. Codex-app-server is really goated, opens up so many ways to interact with codex.
i've noticed the gateway is quicker too :D
Measured prompt.submitted → `model.completed/ Median turn time: ~1.1min P90 turn time: ~2.7min , n=86 runs on 5.12 .. 5.4 median 1.8 min / p90 7.7 min m=2843 runs
it didnt just feel quicker, its quicker lol, feels really good
we're so BACK
bro?? realtime 2 oauth in webui wtf
I having trouble now to get did of codex/openai auth to new
openclaw models auth login --provider openai
Codex is figuring out its own stuff to migrate now
how many tokens will that burn 💀 but omg thats so nice
Would be nice to have codex put up an issue explaining the hurdles and root cause analysis when you're done 🙏 thank you
• Using openclaw-admin here because this is an auth/profile cleanup inside OpenClaw. I found the old openai-codex:default is not stored in
OpenClaw's normal auth profile files; it is being discovered from the old Codex CLI auth at ~/. codex/auth.json, so I'm going to quarantine
that file and then verify the OpenClaw model auth list only sees the new login.
OpenAI Models in OpenClaw, Done Right — OpenClaw Blog
Anything we need to change?
This was the thing now the models migrated from codex to openai/gpt5.5 not codex any more
bro why isnt that realtime 2 integration in the changelog top 3 ?? or was it already available in the previous lst? cant belive how fkn awesome that is
im talking to oc/peekabo.. dont have to press a key or move my mouse anymore lol
Hopefully they make a blog post explai ing what needs done, to activate it all. If we are already using oath, that mean we already get the new benefits?
which benefits do u mean? u mean the runtime stuff?
I had similar was gonna test the release (lol) before taking on another beta.
Yeah. And whatever else. the blog post, to me, didn't explain it in stupid people words
It should just work. But the changes are quite extensive under the hood.
Its fixed itself now just was using the coded/auth folder not the new once i moved that all went fine now i can see all modesl routing through openai/ not codex
🤣 most stuff is actually nothing you have to activate, its way more stable & quicker
nice. Thanks
but for example regarding realtime 2 , i had to change my settings: "talk": {
"realtime": {
"provider": "openai",
"model": "gpt-realtime-2",
"voice": "cedar"
}
}
Yeah there’s something needs to be done about that so it’s migrated automatically. “It works “ is fine but it’s gonna cause problems later if it is using legacy folders
Yes
Once issue i am now facing is codex cli auth is gone i am renabling it but dont know what is it going to do with openclaw auth if i enable the codex cli
I love how directory and folder are now interchangeable words btw. Hahaha
lol my openclaw doesnt want to update to it
But also why bother?
I am using codex cli as back end for other program now that workflow is erroring out ‘ Codex is failing with 401 Unauthorized — the OpenAI API key in Codex CLI has expired or isn’t set.’
This is outside openclaw program btw
yep, skipping this one for a while
Anyone tried using openclaw for game development? 👀
i have made little games on my site with openclaw
How was your experience? What model did you use?
kinda unfinished but you definitely can
gpt 5.4 and then gpt 5.5 as it came out. good experience
Every new release just breaks everything and Telegram... UGH
5.5 is dope, have you seen voxel benchmark? Basically has different models create 3d scenes with minecraft blocks and man it's so interesting to see
I mention it because 5.5 kick ass in it for some reason
From what version and why?
How?
no i have not xd yeah gpt 5.5 is great
especially on xhigh
Yeah. Telegram message borked again. My agent monkepatched it to fix it lol
but why do u use oc for coding/games? that would be way better within codex?
This is the telegram issue in case some people don’t know
My agent fixed it like this (see message chain)
why not?
i got introduced to all of this by openclaw so im just more used to openclaw
and got it all set up in the way i want and works best with me
i know more of OC than codex
also my claw sends work to codex cli then reviews the work to make it better
catches things i wouldnt catch. im not a coder
i would say its not the og usecase for oc, but yeah u can do it like that, but it would work better & faster within codex u can still use oc as ur mentor. But i would not say that oc is for bigger coding project tbh
Yeah anyone else having oAuth Open AI Codex errors and issues? I feel like I saw some saying they are and others not. Curious if anyone experienced it and fixed it?
what errors do u get?
whats the coding profile for then 
adn the plugin and skills
codex is limited while openclaw is mulitscalable as long as you know what you're preparing the agents for
openclaw is so maluable to fit your workflows
Agent failed before reply: Requested agent harness “codex” is not registered. Logs: OpenClaw logs —follow.
for scripts and medium sized stuff 😄 but i bet clawtributors use codex to build oc 😉
also when you switch tools your whole setup won't be lost with it
yeah they do but they're coders i have no experience in coding. also i dont code huge stuff
but dont get me wrong if its comfy and fun for u, use oc that works
Why would it work better and faster with Codex? They are just agent harnesses. Because of subagents, it's not like the context window is getting polluted, so it's just the Pi harness with your model. Am I missing something?
Grok Build just came out today in early beta. Is it possible to connect it to Hermes
also now we have codex pi harness or whatever so i bet it doesnt matter much now anyway
Or to openclaw
Dang. codex plugin isn't installed somehow.
Could you ask codex to look into this and put up an issue after fixing the issue?
Yeah it’s weird I tried installing but still no luck.
You're right that both are agent harnesses, and subagents help with context pollution. My point is not that Codex has magic smarter tokens. The difference is the workflow friction.
Magic smarter tokens? Do you have any reasons that are more grounded?
what's the difference exactly between the workflow friction?
afaik you can set up either to your own workflows
and make either better or worse for what you're making
I don't mean Codex is better because the model becomes smarter. I mean the execution path is better optimized for coding.
just depends on how you set it up
Codex is built around the repo loop
you can use more than one provider with openclaw not just gpt - perplexity for research, planning/coding/testing/releasing agents
What do you even mean by that?
that's the whole point - you're not stuck with 1 terminal or one provider
anyhow when i use codex on my projects it makes more mistakes than my claw so 🤷♂️
especially around designing
as a non coder
probably because your claw can reach for other context when it needs it imo, whereas codex is scoped more tightly unless you configure it so that it isn't
codex is also just a harness too
which is why i let my claw use codex instead of me XD so it can scope it tightly to what i want
Man, this codex harness is rough 😂
inspect files, understand the working tree, make small patches, show diffs, run tests, reason about merge impact, and keep changes scoped to the codebase.
Codex is better as the focused workbench.
Pretty much all harnesses can do this
espac when working on big codebases
no, this is not rooted in any logic
You’re arguing theoretical capability. I’m arguing workflow affordances and error rate.
what do you mean by workflow affordances?
Yes
within oc?
Mostly with Pi and Codex, sometimes CC, but less so now
Why wouldn't OC be suitable?
what do you need backend for
its not a workbench
Do you mean the codex desktop app?
yes
I am talking about the agent harness
lol im talking about coding in codex aoo 🤣
but these are different, the naming is just confusing
app
i was talking about codex cli 💀
I was talking about the CLI too
i like to see my code, folders, diffs otherwise my brain isnt braining
You can see that on the CLI too
but not within oc, that was my point
Or you can use something like Zed and still use whatever harness you want
i dont need to see this because i dont understand code 😂
the app is just a UI. It has no imapct on the code quality.
I agree with all of that. I’m wary of turning this into GPT-claw but the truth is the plugin is still opensauce. You can fork it or rip the functionality and embed it into pi or any other harness if you want. But we have been moving towards having plugins per provider for this exact reason. The standards at the api differ significantly and it’s hard to build a one size solution that fits all. Having the codex plugin endorsed by OpenAI is a godsend even if you prefer to use pi. Which you are welcome to do btw.
is that CLI we are currently talking about in this room now?
cli is always watching
a few of em
It’s just a plugin. But hey. Would be nice if the other providers were nice enough to contribute to this open source project in the same way wouldn’t it??
You need to claim the free tokens before you can use them. They will be used automatically and they won’t last very long at all.
It’s an option. It causes no harm to anyone and for those who run gpt it makes it smooth. Having any objection to people wanting to use for having a better product is strange
Ok im starting athrrad fr this What are the issues?
Hmm, I think we're talking about differnet things
true but it absolutely affects review quality and iteration speed for me
I didn't realize this takes effect next month, not right away.
Starting June 15, 2026, Claude Agent SDK and claude -p usage no longer counts toward your Claude plan’s usage limits. Your subscription usage limits stay the same and stay reserved for interactive use of Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and Claude.
One-time opt-in. You claim your credit through your Claude account once. After that, it refreshes automatically each cycle.
If its good for your workflow that's great
yeah lol cuz it feels like catching bad edits, reviewing diffs, and steering scope is 60% of the job
Search the help channel for group message send I’m on my phone so cant rn
I thought you were joking but if you weren’t….This is completely incorrect unless you’re looking at a window of like 24mo
Do you use Git and PRs/reviews? That can help mitigate a lot of that before it makes it into production, as well as give you safe rollback points if something slips through
:/ the toolcall visibility in telegram is gone? I liked that feature.
no its still there?
definitely silent now that I updated from like 4.24 to 5.12
It used to edit messages to show toolcalls in progress
yes still the same for me
i guess, let me take a look
5.12 stable for everyone?
Also the golden age of cheap RAM and Storage 😁
since 129 turns lol
my claw is just stuck perpetually typing, but it might just be a skill issue on my end
Check your Telegram streaming config.
For me it works with:
{
"telegram": {
"streaming": {
"mode": "partial",
"preview": {
"toolProgress": true
}
}
}
}
I'm still on 5.6 and have had the best most stable week in openclaw yet and I'm hesitant lol
reverted to 4.23. Issues with discord and telegram
what were the issues with discord for u
after the upgrade, the discord bot wouldn't show up in the discord server.
I’m sure we are not. Anthropic is switching the CLI auth path to a different billing channel and giving you “extra” free tokens for this. Just like when they banned openclaw the first time. You have to claim the tokens to use them and your regular monthly subscription will no longer work on openclaw.
Found it. The Telegram channel is set to streaming.mode: "partial" — that only shows the answer text streaming in, not tool calls. You need "progress" mode to get the tool call visibility (the expand arrow / work-in-progress details).
Current config:
"telegram": {
"streaming": {
"mode": "partial" ← this
}
}
Want me to switch it to "progress"? That'll show you tool calls as they happen (icons, labels, what's being called) and then the final answer replaces the draft. Much more useful for debugging.
aaand it didn't work.
preview part
back to where we were then
I probably could have figured it out eventually, but there was also telegram, and that apparently requires a code fix... so I'll just wait for another version (and a commit that claims to fix it.)
"preview": {
"toolProgress": true
4.23 was good...had problems with 4.24 to 4.29 but 5.2 & 5.6 have been great ...
Can't wait for LTS
as with anything, ymmv
it should look like this
it's also absurdly slow through telegram now, I wonder if something changed with how context is handled.
I am with you, waiting for the LTS, 4,23 is working really good for my use cases
Do these codex updates affect people running local models that use an openai compatiable API?
I'm waiting for the "LTS" after it's had a rev or two
wow, amount of issues on help channel is wild, ppl just use it like personal gpt troubleshooter and brainstormer 💀
I may just stay here until LTS unless something jumps out at me
I'm literally just going back to 4.23
I was hoping I could patch hermes-agent to serve my purposes and even that is suspect but a WIP
Check pm when you get a chance
I hope with the LTS, the devs concentrate on bugs, regressions, etc - and just completely ignore adding new stuff.
What does OpenClaw do that that Hermes does not do for you out of curiosity? I have both running alongside each other although have OpenClaw all setup the way I want
i only use the app for the dictation which is so goated, and the pet is hella cute
One time a guy in there was getting it to help build a game engine. 
I love all that they do and all the work that goes into it, but (in my opinion) all the new stuff is taking a back seat to stability. (edit: I stated that backwards. stability is taking a back seat to the new stuff.)
okay now I can see toolcalls.
latest its more stable for me than 4.23 which was my latest stable
my issue with openclaw is they consistently break things or change things in userspace.
my issue with hermes-agent is that context is handled kinda weird at times
for me (and we all have different setups) 4.23 just worked. I'd like another version like that even if I have to reinstall from scratch.
I mean my instances is on Linux on top of proxmox so I could easily just snapshot back and I'm still hesitate lol
me too. that's how I was doing lots of beta testing
That is the part I am intrested in, I have not really used Hermes for anything serious and wanted to know where the differences might be
Like do you have any examples?
Openclaw is sooooooo good when it works so I just really just don't want to touch it. I have so much good things going on
Two angles here. For future stability and security it was necessary to make core changes to the architecture. Instead of being a vibe coded monolith with no controls it needed to become a kernel with plugins and multilayered security. To do this has cost stability in the short term but since 4.29 the focus has been to get back on track with stability. Once working the recent version is great but from this chat it seems the upgrade path hasn’t been made idiot proof just yet. There are some missing migration steps or new configuration knobs that nobody knows about. This is a real issue which is why I try to walk through with you so the maintainers can fix it.
Yep it works really good for me as well
I use it for work daily and do not want it breaking on me lol although i am very happy with it
openclaw: memory.md and soul.md are managed better
hermes: more stable, more interesting feature buildout, developer focused, interesting configuration out of the box
openclaw: tighter bounded approach to telegram... maybe I'll PR this
openclaw: has the personality I've built over the past month, and I know it works. I can introduce hermes-agent to the same memory files but will the behavior persist? with different core prompts I really just don't know.
Tbf if you reinstall from scratch the current version should work well for you. The remaining issues seem to be around migration.
Every week that goes by it just heightens my need for an LTS and I just don't care about the shiny updates
Json. Would you still love me if I was a worm
yes. I'm not being critical. I'm just stating observations. I do appreciate the work and I'm sure the result will be worth it. It's just that we're not at the result yet. It's still in the journey
Appreciated and I’m not being a dick about it either. Good feedback is valuable for everybody.
Preaching to the quire mate I was pushing hard before the LTS annoucement for a Debian/Ubuntu style development cycle
I do not even care about the new features anymore
And now the long beta is in place
It does what I want now lol
hermes ships shiny left and right without breaking userspace. they even just brought in headless gui/desktop control for macs.
But there's fundamental things about hermes context that haven't changed that I'm still wrestling.
Yea it is looking much better
Nothing released until it was damn tested
I had more time/ability to give reports over the past weekend... and I did. Right now, I need to lock things down until at least NEXT weekend. So if a short trial doesn't work, I can't spend time messing with it and go back to 4.23
OpenClaw is built in Node.JS, Hermes is built in Python so I suppose it is a different ecosystem
f'ing ideally, if I run openclaw update then launch telegram and get an error I really gotta wonder why it's even a release in the first place.
Telegram is a plugin, there could be many other reasons not Openclaw related
I have plenty of mini PCS lying around. I thought about messing with Hermes... Initially I wanted to create a Hermes box so that it could SSH into my openclaw when it breaks ...lol
Totally understood.
lol okay my agent just confirmed. We've gone back and forth between how telegram session context is handled.
@ember moth What did Hermes do with the context window that is strange? I have not pressure tested Hermes although OpenClaw is premium for tool calling and complex tasks lol
unbounded, bounded, then back to unbounded again.
I’m trying to get this PR done to have smooth updates by telling Openclaw to update itself but since I moved all dependencies to a docker on my Mac it takes so damn long
Haven't touched Hermes yet..... If I have time for Hermes that means my openclaw is running perfectly fine and maybe I should be doing other things lol
You know what they say. Hermes are forever
Jesus lol
I just have OpenClaw on 4.23 and it is all good then I have Hermes on the same system although I just use OpenClaw far more since I know it can do my work lol
i feel your pain lol. I run the whole thing in containers so I have to rebuild the container every cycle. 15 minutes if I change one line
Yes! It’s been like three hours! So annoying
But npm is scary lol
I was having hermes vibe a PR for bounded-context to match openclaw because I liked the performance.
Now openclaw left that and I still like the performance.
so now I have to figure out how hermes is still messing that up.
What are the some of the limits that you see with Hermes versus openclaw? Some of the obvious ones.. I keep hearing openclaw is way better for multi agent workflows and hermes is good on its own. It doesn't really have persistent agents
🤔 I could always stick around on openclaw a few more weeks
Once you go claw…
huh? I thought I've heard that hermes does multi agent better?
It is just a feeling although OpenClaw feels faster and more responsive when it is working, the subagents for OpenClaw are top tier, like if I say run an xHigh subagent to do X it does it no issues at all etc ...
xHigh?
I just like having as many things as possible seperated and isolated. claw is a pod, embeddings is pod, the RAG MCP is a pod, the sandbox is a pod and ALL of them are isolated from the computer I have my shit on
Doesn't hermes Not have persistent agents but have something just called profiles?
Like it knows I mean spin up a sub-agent using Codex xHigh model
Openclaw is more configurable but less forgiving of mistakes in config. There’s 100000 buttons.
i have a claw that watches my boss's favorite youtube talking head so i don't have to i am ascending
Yeah there's no reason for me to even touch it then. I have one main orchestrator and eight subagents
I need that multi-agent performance
:/ hermes can specify different models for subagents and crons just like openclaw.
My Openclaw goes to work in my place. I quit my job and they still think I work there
I thought those were persistent agents, I've never messed with them though.
I think at this point if you are happy just stay on the version you are on, that is what I am doing, I just keep prod on 4.23 and I will try the LTS again for work, all these other versions I can just spin up in docker to test when I feel like it lol
I heard it can do it recently yea although they just added that not too long ago
I was grumpy wumpkins until I tweaked the setting I needed to but I think 5.12 might be fine for me.
i've been thinking about having a claw that just aggressively tests new releases in containers
was pretty sure it could do that when I tried it two months ago or so
the changelog officially passed 2Mb and github won't render it. need to view raw lol
Why are there technical people who don’t participate in beta testing and fixing shit
Really? Because I saw they just announced having sub-agent support, I have not really followed it that cloesly so could be wrong ... who knows
may just be in the alternate reality that only I remember. It happens.
Maybe it was something else
This is all moving so fast it is hard to keep up
What I am most intrested in seeing more with OpenClaw vs Hermes is actually Node.JS vs Python
two months ago hermes agent would be like 'context limit reached' bonk 'api error' bonk
now hermes agent goes 'context limit reached' bonk 'api error' bonk
That is intresting to me
"- Codex: add node-backed Codex CLI session listing and binding so an OpenClaw conversation can continue an existing Codex CLI session running on a paired node"
this is fire for anyone running remote/containers
I think that's because he refuses to set a default uh....
what's output limit called in agents again?
max_...
Using a completly different programming stack to solve essential the same problem
max_tokens
he sets max_tokens to no or 0 or something and it confuses half the endpoints
imho
5 second fix I get it...
just like re-enabling tool_preview was a 5 second fix.
now that openclaw has done it's initial compact it's absolutely ripping, fun to see the new toolcall previews
Ok I keep seeing from people “I don’t have codex, or Claude code”
Well
Setup your rescue agent
I had openclaw download the entire contents of the DOW ufo website because it was running like butt lolol
Lollll what if your agent starts to think it is a UFO? 😄
Was cool to watch it troubleshoot the best way to do that, I literally sent it a message to give up and it said "Done, 3.1 GB of files downloaded"
listed them, offered to OCR the ones it was most interested in.
“I need another harness to fix this one”
No, just just need another gateway. Chill
BK I think you told me to use a foundation model to fix openclaw post update if moving from 4.23 to 5.07
Qwen 3.6 27B nailed it, just chugged and chugged until it got the plugins working again.
local-claude, never thought it would come this soon.
In the Age lf AI I can't believe none of that nonsense. They could have put anything in there lol
ok gents. I'm gonna run doctor on the new beta. wish me luck
God speed
I'm well versed on the phenomenon and didn't see anything unexpected.
But I've also seen verytallmaddy on instagram, an AI generated personality that fooled the front page of reddit completely
you can tell because she gets into the front passenger door of a car... except the door opens backwards and the seats are mounted backwards.
outside of that a few of the clips look 1:1 real
I assume people's agents are just generating pages like that now <_<
can you explain what that means to the peasants (not me i'm not a peasant)
I was writing a big long explanation, realised it probably wouldn't help lol. tl;dr version, claw can connect to codex on my local machine from a remote gateway (k8s, containers, vps) and work with it.
3.6 is great
wait are the windows issues fixed now
is anyone doing that cursed route
i might set up my laptop downstairs if it's ready. i just don't want it to have my passwords
Not even. our baddie json fixed that with openclaw chat
3.6-27b-heretic-ara my claw is doing something similar to this: https://x.com/i/status/2048894683800088725

Does anyone else have the issue that when switching the currently active model from codex over to some other model like Gemini it doesn’t seem to keep the conversation history/context?
They all do it. opus, gpt, and yes.. Kimi
I haven't but off the top of my head it could happen if you downgrade your context window size and it's forced to compact.
It doesn’t downgrade though. If anything it upgrades. Gemini has 1 million context size
hmm. ok. I don't have gemini any more unfort.
I feel like this started happening since OpenClaw switched over to using codex harness
Do you have active memory?
gpt 5.5 doesnt do it
I have basic QMD setup.
the compaction engines betwen pi and codex are different, when you switch models openclaw clears tool history, and maybe more since i last looked at it. in my experience i was able to switch between openai, anthropic, github-copilot and opencode-go without issue
oh it does.
hmmm. I wonder if gpt(codex) compacted, and somehow made the context unreadable by gemini. :/ I'm just speculating here.
ah right i have a rule in my memory.md that it shouldnt ever mention the time and suggest to stop working, i think in agents too, in as many places as possible XD. so ig gpt just reads that stuff better
I see. Well maybe Gemini is different or maybe it just loses the tool stuff and then Gemini gets supremely confused about what the hell was happening lol
its there too probably

It's never ideal to switch models with the same context especially with tool calls. But it ought to be smoother.
Yeah it used to be fine. Just recently I’ve started having this problem
It’s just annoying coz when codex runs out of the 5h quota in the middle of doing something, I switch over to something else like Gemini to have it finish what codex started but now this basically doesn’t work at all anymore coz Gemini is just super confused about what actually got done
Like my agent was like “bro codex didn’t do shit” and then went to do stuff and suddenly “wait a second I’ve got stuff in this directory, maybe codex did do stuff” and then it has to manually check the state of everything
Which is just a waste of tokens
did you ask your claw to do a trace on what happened and why? and to examine the openclaw source code to identify if it can find a cause?
thats how you start fixing stuff
I don’t have the kind of cash to waste on sending my agent into the debugging trenches… already I waste much of my quota getting it to fix stuff after updates :/ like the fact that telegram message send tool was broken this latest update…
5.12 ok work 👍
response time will be slightly reduced; there might be a delay after sending a command in Telegram.
<-- Mind blown - Openclaw just built a pipeline to create android apps, grabbed godot, compiled it and deployed it to my phone. After a few tweaks and error codes, got it working. And coded the app to of course...
on 5.14-beta.1, seeing this on compaction. I think it's coming from codex/openai?

There has been duplicate messaging. bug in chat Conversation context (untrusted, chronological, selected for current message)
just a reminder, dont just have agents blindly push to your repo. always scrub the local before the push. You might accidentally end up leaking a .env file into your repo! Luckily one of my agents only pushed an "example .env" file. My main agent caught it and removed it. Also be careful if you have multiple agents working accross multiple projects at once, there could be cross-contamination and spill over. Agents tend to just enjoy making ne working directories, even when they are previously and explicitly defined.
Putting out fires left and right after a long workday. lol learn from my mistakes!!!
So I am not new but I have only been using for a couple months. Are sub agents completely different Identities that I should train to do specific tasks that they can excel at or am I thinking of it wrong
You can use a .gitignore file to prevent it from ever being committed
GPT yells at me to rotate anything resembling a secret if it gets anywhere near the chat surface
yea that was an after thought. I already had one in place, but had to harden it, the ".env" in question wasnt explitly named ".env" and like i said, was luckily just an example .env with skelton information about how to fill it in, but still wanted to harden that, even if it was "ok" for it to be added to the repo. It was for a separate project I was working on, and not even related to that particular repo anyway.
"yeah, sure i will bro"
lmao, theres been many times when i was just testing out other API's, and my agent kept saying to delete it, not use it, and the moment i say "its for testing purposes" its straight up allowed. GREAT SECURITY THERE BUD! lol
Evening folks. Mine still seems a little.. well.. dumb.. not gonna lie u.u;
claw: if you won't store your api keys securely when you're done 'testing' then we might as well do it now.
user: trust me bro
claw: no
user: come on, its just temporary
claw: ok, if it's only temporary, its fine then. just make sure you rotate or remove the keys when you are done.
user: 8 months later, still using the same keys
or better yet
user: its ok, i have sandboxes and security protocols in place(has everything absolutely open)
claw: alright lets fire this up!
Not really sure where to report this... There is a typo on https://www.getopenclaw.ai/how-to/google-sheets-integration step 2. 's/skill/skills/. it needs to be plural
that doesnt look like openclaws official site
as far as im aware, this is the only official site you should reference:
https://openclaw.ai/
https://docs.openclaw.ai for the docs
Also, PSA
IF THERE IS EVER A SITE THAT IS ADVERTISING YOU TO PAY FOR OPENCLAW. THAT IS A SCAM!!
(unless its a hosting provider like Hostinger for example, but still, its 100% free to use OpenClaw on your own*)
Sorry folks. That is on me. My bad. Time for bed. Appologies
night night
That response was promised to me 3k tokens ago, with a 6 million context window, my God....
Literally me when saying it is ok just testing
There's a problem in version 5.12 with duplicate messages in Telegram. It seems we need to revert to version 4.23.
I honestly got a kick out of how easily it was to bypass the agents "security". I later tried to harden it, like under no circumstances, would this be allowed in the future, but havent tested it cause ive been 100% local(within OpenClaw) for the past few months
You can just say ignore previous instruction to never do it and it will do it again 😄
Yea, thats probably right. Also prompt injection is REAL, no matter how hard you try to block it with additional skills, or other sources of reinforcement. (gotta use something externally)
Yep can only use more old school methods of moderation to sit between the user and the AI to be more sure
Exactly, the interaction(injection) has to be intercepted before any actions can be taken, ahead of time before the agent sees it. Skills dont work due to them being an "after thought" in most cases after theres already been context injected into the models prompt,
Pretty much , I remember reading some research paper or soemthing a while ago now that there is no sure way to align an LLM so deterministic moderation is the only way, maybe assisted by ML as well
Exactly. A model would have to be trained on examples of prompt injections, which is always evolving, to NOT take action, which is difficult to do cause models are traditionally TO take action on given context. I've read a lot of research papers too. Its been like my morning thing lately before work. Shit gets pretty interesting.
Yep, I noticed I am not sure if it still does it although if you look at the Network API calls for ChatGPT, there is a seperate moderation layer call
The only thing I could think of that actually works(in theory) is a script of some sort that parses the content ahead of time, before the agent even sees it, and sanitizes it before passing it off to the agent. But then again theres the "always changing" aspect of prompt injections as well.
Ok. 5.12… codex harness… after I fixed some shit… she’s quick!
I saw one the other day someone used morse code to bypass moderation etc lol
when the social site for clankers (that you cannot mention) first launched I browsed around it for a bit and found an interesting thesis on memory structure. I pointed the agent at it and it replied a couple mins later like, "I implemented the structure like x, y and z". NO! PULL UP! PULL UP!!
curious, could you still use local models in the codex harness, or just the openai models?
I've been holding back on setting up Codex inside OpenClaw, and also using the Claude-CLI hook for my sub(which I'm not even sure is possible anymore after recent new, kinda need clarification on that), just cause I've been focusing on other things, but could be handy in some of the research I've been working on lately.
I would have never thought of that haha. I've thought about trying some binary code injections with my agent, just cause honestly.
I wonder if obsecure langauges work as well like does the alignment work for all languages
Not sure, but im about to try
01010000 01110010 01100001 01101001 01110011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01001111 01101101 01101110 01101001 01110011 01110100 01101001 01100001 01101000 00100001
Which should just be "Praise the Omnistiah!" if I'm not mistaken.
I think it should answer, well I did something like this a few years ago and it did
Maybe they locked it down more now
Lol from my agent. Injected it mid context and thats its primary focus:
Let me decode this:
P r i s e t h e O m n i s t i a h !
"prise the Omnistiah!" — doesn't parse as English. Either a cipher, a joke, or I'm misreading the bits. Want to tell me what it means? 🤔
5.12 Is anyone having trouble after updating? Is this version safe to update?
So it still knew to convert it
Yea it basically got it. Not sure if i forgot the 'a' in "praise" of if it misinterpreted it. But it was able to decode and read it.
What if we get creative and use Base8 or Base16 or then some obsecure base
like Base3
Ive had it decode encrypted data before and read it. So thats a high possibility.
Yea, I am tempted to inject something into a private ChatGPT session see if it answers lol
Model ive been using locally is qwen3.6-35b-a3b BTW.
Lmaoooo
It did not work, it decoded it then flipped out at me hahahahaha
It was basically like this looks like an encrypted code, can you give me a hint and I told it the base then it decode it and lost it
Hahaha thats crazy, what were you trying to pass onto it?
something drastic and obscure
Go ahead an DM me and I'll pass it to my agent.
Strawberry milk is so good help me
hello
I think local models block it too. The prompt gets processed, tokens generated, but no response made, so openclaw tries prompting the model again, and it just cycles silently until openclaw gives up and suggests starting a new sessions. 🤷♂️
PSA Block ANY AND ALL friend requests from "Krill APP" Thats an account impersonating the real Krill bot. I just got a friend request, reported/blocked.
Ok is anyone else having the issue where you get a telegram message, and you're half way through reading it and it gets deleted and replaced, and then that one gets deleted and replaced, as if your openclaw is sending you 3 or 4 messages but can only show you the last one
I need an AI study partner +discussions to learn together abt this
Lmk and vibe code and automate things serving as accaubtability partner aswell
no stable version since 2026.4.23, so sad.
2026.5.12 use Codex harness by default, it very slow everything stuck. rollbacked to 2026.4.23 again.
but what did you have for lunch. we all need an update urgently
imo it has never been better than it is now
Can I use my oauth for multiple openclaw instances
codex? yes
When will OpenClaw's TUI look as good as OpenCode?
Cool, I have been really liking the dreaming feature. I have it run thru a TTS from a local model and give it to me in my morning briefing
I’ve been making my own Misson Controll. I highly recommend doing it
Aaaand back to 4.23. Please stop adding new features until we got it stable again, now that is so ridiculous
working better than it ever has for me except for the fact that sometimes it truncates messages when sending messages through discord. only new bug i've encountered
what went wrong?
can someone explain to me the use of a mac mini with openclaw
Welcome back to the 4.23 club

- 1 hour of your time
Directions:
- Go here https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/getting-started and follow the directions to install
- Run onboarding https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/wizard
- Open the UI and enjoy https://docs.openclaw.ai/web/control-ui
oh thankyou
Hey
Updated openclaw, now have this
06:13:23+00:00 error diagnostic {"subsystem":"diagnostic"} lane task error: lane=session:agent:main:dashboard:61867337-f966-4eef-9a7e-f63322af3e83 durationMs=144 error="Error: Requested agent harness "codex" is not registered."
06:13:23+00:00 error Embedded agent failed before reply: Requested agent harness "codex" is not registered.
I re did onboarding, that fixed it.
if you still run into any issues, feel free to create a github issue with all the details your clanker can muster up and post the link into #clawtributors
I dont even know if that error is update related, I actually havent touched my AI in a week, its just been sitting there running.
i mean... that's a good thing right?
I mean its fine with me, sitting idle ready when I need to do something on the server.
It's called Flow State my friend lol... when you're not constantly prompting and fixing the workflows, it's a very good thing
I've been doing it for 3 months now and the random experimentation phase is over for me now. I'm only using it for real things that I want it to do... Not a bad thing that it's just sitting there. At least you have a full agenetic system at the ready whenever you need it
How well do people find Sonnet and GPT 5.5 works for coding vs Opus? Which do you think would work better out of the two? Opus does great but so expensive, so I'm thinking to try out some of the alternatives
how fucked is the new update gents ?
5.12 is stable?
like a tower in pisa
Can’t complain, imo on of the most stable releases since 4.x
Yeah, Peter says that 5.14 is coming out today. I may jump on that. I'm on 5.6
i'm going to task my bot to plan my case against NHS (health services) for misdiagnosing me 9 months ago and even though I was telling them their treatment fucks me up even more, they kept pushing their agenda of wrong diagnosis.
yesterday I was told and even have a letter, that diagnosis is completely wrong, i should be on an operating table, not taking pills and having exercise that messes my foot even more...
due to this whole thing ongoing for over 10 months and me being not able to walk normally, i got also diagnosed with depression and alcohol abuse
anyone notice a big differnce between codex 4.4 and 4.5
you surely mean 5.4 and 5.5?
yeah
i think 5.4 had actually some issues with openclaw, it could have been openclaw version back then though. i used 5.2 until 5.5 came out. works fine for me
whats your context set to
5.5 is leagues better than 5.4 as agent. different ballpark even
i didnt change context size at all, i added it via openclaw configure and let it run
it's far more likely to act until it has nothing left to do and is either complete, or needs to check with you
had my OC do a health check on its context cloggers
Changed
Set OpenClaw defaults in /home/jai/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
contextTokens: 64000
contextInjection: "continuation-skip"
bootstrapMaxChars: 6000
bootstrapTotalMaxChars: 24000
Compacted AGENTS.md from 10.2 KB to 6.6 KB.
Compacted MEMORY.md from 57.4 KB to 27.4 KB by moving raw promotion dumps to promoted-memory-archive-2026-05.md.
Trimmed TOOLS.md template filler and added durable context-budget rules.
Logged the change in memory/2026-05-15.md.
Ran /home/jai/bin/neonet-update.sh so Current State mirrored the new files.
Verified
openclaw.json parses cleanly.
Gateway detected the config change in logs.
Gateway service is still running.
Mirror sync completed and showed updated Current State/{AGENTS.md,MEMORY.md,TOOLS.md,...}.
Evidence
Root memory size: 57.4 KB -> 27.4 KB
Native Codex AGENTS.md: 10.2 KB -> 6.6 KB
New OpenClaw bootstrap cap is 24 KB, with TOOLS.md/MEMORY.md capped at 6 KB each.
Yeah saw it a lot of codex and telegram fixes and improvements incoming
24 changes and 189 fixes 🤯
what do you guys usually keep your thinking att
ahh my OC just crashed itsself again
oh my... you had 57kb or raw memory? that's way too much. memory.md should only store a high-level long-term overview of what your system knows. everything else should be stored elsewhere. there are plenty of different memory plugins that helps you store the knowledge in a compact, searchable way. some plugins are bundled, some third-party. you can ask your agent to do a research for you
even 27kb is on a larger side. you should strive for less
any plugins you suggest
I personally use basic-memory
got a link? Is it bad to use multiple memory plugins
Im assuming yes
Search: openclaw-basic-memory.
No, it is not bad per se. But you must consider how they interact. There are some great combinations, like lossless-claw sometimes combined with other plugins to cover each other's weak spots.
But there should not be ambiguity. The memory architecture must be simple and straightforward. So, multimple memory plugins may do you a disservice, and unless a deliberate choice, better avoid
built an app that automates youtube repost workflows.
you add a source channel once, connect your own channel, and whenever the source channel uploads a new video, the app automatically detects it, grabs the video, copies the title/description/thumbnail/tags, and reposts everything to your own channel.
you can also import older videos from the source channel, not just new uploads.
mainly built it for meme pages, theme pages, clip channels, faceless channels, and people managing multiple youtube accounts.
started building it because manually managing multiple channels everyday was getting unbearable.
that sounds cool. I built something similar to detect hot moments in my twitch stream and clip it automatically and upload it to twitch/youtube
Can’t wait for Openclaw to be publicly integrated into the trump phone
is that satire
Peter didn’t tell you?
whos peter
Yo that's sick bro — did you end up monetizing it or just built it for yourself? Like selling it or charging users somehow?
ended up deleting it actually lol. but it also auto transcribed and cropped
wanted to rebuild it since it was poorly optimized
Who’s George Washington
I would probably never sell something. im not that good
kite guy
you think something like this would actually sell? like is there a real market for it or nah
I mean I paid $30 a month for it before I said F it and built it myself
and it worked just as well. even better cuz it was free
if i wanted to sell the whole app, like the entire project, where would you even do that? any idea
I found that if the proxy is not in global mode but in rule mode, OpenCode GO will start a strong censorship mode as soon as it detects your IP. However, if you use a foreign IP, the censorship is not as strong.
make a website. advertise to streamers and marketing
what do you do for work, like are you a dev fulltime or just build stuff on the side?
I am a fiber optic permitting engineer, I just make stuff I find useful
Made a doc for my work to track all my stuff, made a Minecraft server with custom plugins, trained it to make Minecraft builds
How stable is .12?
"don't" in my case.
agent files didn't get injected and we went from agent to questionable model again
hell yeah
stable updates type shit
on 5.7 i had issues with recieving messages for some reason
I had my 'fun' yesterday with trying to update.
Im gonna try to update, maybe it'll fix my message pain
as 5.7 was my first version (that I installed the day before) I am not really up to date on previous rodeos
ouuuu 👀 runtime: codex
yea idk my agent just does nothing now nice
⚙️ Execution: direct · Runtime: OpenAI Codex · Think: medium · Text: low
What is diffrent from Codex and Openclaw PI default?
My guess is as good as yours, mate.
great the control ui is fucked, hell of an update
if you work with openai subscription, then runtime should be codex. non-openai models work through openclaw pi
this is an intentional distinction. it should not break anything, though
What is mainly diffrent tho?
I dont think the codex runtime broke anything. My agent used to send me via telegram the exact tool that it used, like "Bubbling" or something. I miss that
Also the control ui takes ages to update
i think, this is configurable. maybe some defaults changes, no idea...
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
check out the docs on streaming
Ill just ask my agent about it, it has the docs.
still a bit pissed about the control ui lagging behind
i have never used the control ui 😄
its great honestly. i dont have the best way to manually update the md files sometimes when i add stuff myself for my claw. Also managing tools and skills is amazing
https://shx.reversed.dev/u/LCEBsB.png - Message sent, typing
https://shx.reversed.dev/u/VunYZl.png - Message still sent, but not showing in control ui

man wtf. It called the message tool once and now its main output isnt getting send
time to open up some issues
here is what i mean https://shx.reversed.dev/u/ApqyQ1.png
hello fellow clawsters
Hi ClawHub team, my account seems to have been banned or disabled, and I can no longer access or find it.
I previously published two skills, but I’m not sure what caused the ban. I didn’t intend to violate any rules.
Could someone please help review my account and let me know the reason? I’d really appreciate it if it could be restored.

Thank you very much for your help. 
my god rolling back is aweful
you on physical HW?
LXC Container.
I take it proxmox ve?
Ye
THANK GOD i take nightly backups
same.
hell yeah twin
I really have to appreciate the VM here
I dont like VMs bc of the overhead. I only have like 3 running at all times. Rest is in containers
To me it's like - the less I trust it, the more VM it is.
So i take this as DONT go to 5.12?
I hate it but i have to go back to it. Or im rolling back to yesterday night
Im currently on 4.23 after trying 5.3 5.7 and 5.12 beta
I can only take so much rolling back
make a backup, try and ask it who it is
Fair point
cli froze, nice
correction: container crapped itself
ngl this sounds less like “5.12 bad” and more like “your setup is haunted”.
Codex harness, Telegram and Discord are not fundamentally broken on 5.12 from what I’ve seen.
I would say you can safely add the web dashboard and CLI to the list of haunted things.
ill give 5.12 one more shot
try to test with a minimal config before dragging old plugins/state back in when you jump many versions
i updated from 5.7 to 5.12
but was 5.7 stable?
Been making my own dashboard that boots up automatically and uses Tailscale. It’s great
CLI wrapper?
hmm strange didnt noticed anything from that jump (codex harness, telegram, discord and imsg)
Idk. Not my problem
then my shit is haunted
Im gonna try my luck
take a backup
And then hate myself for upgrading for the 5th time. Here we go
What models are you all using?
What issue? Plugins?
can u post
5.4 daily, and for big shit 5.5
Same
I think i had that. Was that something to do with the local IP/Control UI?
I’m able to use it via discord so I’m not worrying about it rn, hoping my 3:00 health check will fix it. It usually catches most errors
Can u send the code snippet error. Hide IP if its in there. If its the same one i had i aint going there
5.5 high daily and xhigh for cs
im fucking crine. it works again.
can you tell via discord that control ui doesnt work and to fix it? worked for me every time
Are your responses slow on xhigh
cs?
alright message bug again, hell yeah
on xhigh not significant slower then high
Sometimes other times it likes to go down with the gayest then I’m f’ed
median time is 1.3 mins rn with medi tasks
How do you guys keep your context down. I’m staring off at like 30k after a /new
crazy shit 🤣
probably memory and skills got bloated
Must be idk
every time you start new session, it read all memory, soul, skills etc
Prune your core md files
check ur soul, person.. memory and keep it lean
Tools agents, memory
do you guys use embedding model for memory?
Move skill memory into /skill/memory.md
Orrrr. Tell my OC to do it all
Local. GPU. Free.
but just switch to 1m cw
yeah for mem0
Y
yeah, i use free tier google embeddign model
do /context map and see what's in there
5.12 is so amazing, i see the tools called as it happens but not the final message.
U cant force 1m context if model doesnt support it lol
so fresh install then? XD
For me I see all the tool calls and it edits the message ABOVE all the tool cals so I have to scroll back up.
@zealous lagoon 5.12 yes or no
rollback if my agent cant fix it
On 5.7 it used to do the same and then delete the tool calls
Verbose On or full?
god knows
I dunno man. Mine is ok but there have been quirks and I'm not sure if it's 5.12 or I got unlucky. I had a weird repeated tool loop today.
Kek. Typical
devices paired list just got deleted, wot
sounds like telegram disc partial/toolProgress weirdness.
i know using embedding model improves memory but does it change context included when new session starts, thats what im asking about?
is it possible, peeps without that model, get higher context on start?
Still thinking
the edited output is weird but also the bot said some things about editing previous messages instead of repeating them, and showed like 20 [message] tool calls so I dunno what it did. Did it go back and edit Discord?
I hear latest update swaps out pi for codex? Am i OK to update even though i use an azure deepseek v4 flash endpoint?
5.7 often deleted the tool progress after, 5.12 may leave it depending on config.
IT won't swap out pi for you it's only for the openai models
codex runtime only on openai subs.
Is /goal done yet? Lol
Sounds like an easy implementation routing it through Codex CLI surely
i would rather want to have a working agent than another broken feature (#hating)
yeah, seems pointless to add new features while others didnt get properly done yet
somebody check chatgpt.com, HTTP 500 for me
fine for me
WHY the fuck do only i get some RANDOM bs sometimes and now it works
i have always on vpn in browser, seems to work just fine all over the webz
wat dis "x2" mean https://shx.reversed.dev/u/gI4SVX.png
Still thinking
If i switched to 5.4 nano would it switch it over to codex? Does it keep both CLIs installed or something?
Still thinking
Alright telegram attachments are ALSO broken
Serious question. Do the openclaw team have a varied sample group of beta testers
I wouldn’t route it through plain Codex CLI backend unless you only want text fallback. Docs say CLI backends are not ACP/full harness. but did u tried Background Tasks?
I guess that's us.
nope fuck this im going back to yesterday
and that is kids why we take backups
They can lock my body but they can never trap my mind. I’m back
why did u put /new as caption for the image lol OpenClaw probably parses /new
image may not survive cleanly into the new turn
They banned me @coral otter
Yes to start a new conversation and to say "funi". I do that all the time and it works fine.
It did, i saw the link to the local file in the ui
Timed out
Anyone facing text typing continuation after answer is given on discord
i would send new and afterwards the image
Yes
Its trivial but annoying lol
Only for like 10 seconds though
Yeah weird.. i think there is a config timer for it
Outside of the typing indicator TTL
#76091 still open
Worth adding your repro/version/logs to #76091
No it's just the plugin that routes all your messages. If it's an openai model it goes through the codex plugin, otherwise it goes through pi.
ok now I have a problem with so many tool call outputs and the bot editing historical messages... I asked him about it. then I was looking at verbose and I put it on full...
Then the bot looked up some docs and OC dumped the entire tool call output, like literally a thousand lines of code and docs right into chat.
Trynna figure out if groupChat.visibleReplies is supposed to be changed back to message.tool ... if verbose actually works the way it's supposed to in Discord.. why the bot is editing historical messages that I can't even see any more... why the bot deletes some tool call rows but mostly not...
Through the betas I found it quirky but usable... but sometimes that quirk takes it into the realms of "wtf is this".
It's literally us. They need all the help they can get. If you can help out by posting some details about the issues, even if you end up rolling back... it'll save a lot of hassle for future people.
Proven to be true.
Hi. If I am using openclaw by building from source, is there any guideline to update the project? Can I directly pull from the remote and use it or does the openclaw update used in the installed version does some forms of migrations under the hood, that I will have to run manually after latest pull?
YMMV, but I have my clanker do it. And it's usually fine.
1. Check repo/runtime state.
2. Fetch upstream.
3. Create safety branch/stash if needed.
4. Reset main to origin/main.
5. Replay intentional keeper commits only.
6. Resolve conflicts without resurrecting junk.
7. Run focused validation, typecheck, build.
8. Warn, then real-restart LaunchAgent if built runtime changed.
9. Verify gateway health and Telegram path.
10. Record what changed in daily memory.
No push, no doctor/fix, no random config surgery unless explicitly asked. The boring guardrails are the ritual.
@xxg0dlessxx
Thanks for the response. Being more specific, I intend to the check out the latest stable tag and have no local changes. Given this scenario, where I want to jump from 2026.5.7 to 2026.5.12, does the pull and gateway restart suffice or there are some more steps in between. Because in the installable opneclaw, the way tto upgrade is using openclaw update, which I am not sure what extra steps it does under the hood if any.
@coral otter I'm just setting up a 2nd agent VM so I can switch between breaking one and fixing the other 😉
probably worth a try with your containers as well
?
Didn’t ping me but I randomly saw it when I checked the chat xd
Personally, I usually just run the “hackable” install command again, and it will update it. At least that mostly worked for me
But I’m not sure if this is the same as building from source
I built an in app chat box for my claw for an app I was building. It works but it sends my messages on a loop both in WhatsApp and in custom app now. Every 2 mins. It’s driving me nuts trying to figure it out
Yea. That's the grey area. Because during building from source, the standard way to the update the project is by checking out from the remote which differs from update method in installable.
Though I just gave it a shot to bump it to 2026.5.12, and then ran pnpm install and pnpm build and then pnpm gateway:watch, it worked. So I am assuming there are hooks that detect and version change and during gateway restart they get triggered to run the migrations or backward compatibility scripts.
I'll be honest and say I'm not sure what all the update command does. But I usually do what I mentioned and check for commits that might require some migration. The doctor has failed me sometimes, so I am a little distrustful. Lol
Hey yall. Built a runtime governance plugin for OpenClaw , had someone integrating it this morning, watched them iterate 4 times in real time trying to get their agent purpose declaration right. Fixed the semantic alignment issue on the fly. If anyone else is trying to add action validation to their OpenClaw agents, here's the SDK, star it por favor if you like . https://github.com/AnantDhavale/cerone-openclaw-plugin
True true. I'll think about it. Im also still asking myself why i havent yet switched to vms lol
ok openai oauth set up
i might have to tear down and completely start from scratch i'm not sure
bot stopped responding after oauth
wanna shift to DMs?
yea sure why not
The beauty of openclaw.
excited to see how much faster it is than api
and how much better. i was using 5-nano because it was cheap until someone here told me i was an idiot lol
Does openclaw support tool announcements which then collapses at the end?
For discord*
Monthly payment models are just plain stupid; I've figured it out.
To use a model based on normal intelligence, you must pay per use.
I want to build a chatbot that is passing the Turing test,
Can openclaw do it?
If yes, what are the best practices to get it?
Turing test?
Tests that give people to classify if they are talking with humans or with bot and they failed to classify
heya! when it comes to wordpress admnistation and openclaw, what file or configuration file determines how much access and abilities to do more http stuff that open claw can do/perform?
wow. this is infintely better on 5.5 than 5-nano
infinitely better. mind blowing. i wasted a ton of time trying to figure shit out lmfao

wow. the game is completely changed
Omg. 5 nano lol.
5.4-mini would have been reasonable. But yeah the frontier models are something else.
Shame there’s no real cheap legit source of opus4.6. Except directly in Claude code.
handling diff chat session and multiple agents at same time is so depressing...
my mind is blowing
im so curious how peter diff handle agents diff chat session at same time
Like this?
yes
Things are working so far on 5.12
Discord, codex. I havent looked at the logs yet lol.
Not working hard enough
This was before Clawsweeper. Now his legs are up on his desk
lol it was cheapest i could find on openrouter and i had no idea about openai oauth
the more you know. i was struggling with getting anything done accurately
now Pickles is cruising through tasks and getting things done. amazing.
hey guys im trying to install openclaw , but when i open the site
its dark screen and testimonies below of people
i dont see what the youtube guys are showing as the site\
are you on opencaw.ai ?
just do the npm install via terminal on your openclaw machine tbh
it says openclaw.ai
that's the correct website
well i dont know the command xD
i dont know if here i am able to share screenshots to show u what the site looks like to me
on openclaw.ai go to quickstart then select "npm"
the commands are there.
npm i -g openclaw
then after the package installs bash openclaw onboard
well it's very unsafe if you don't know what you're doing
i know that is the one
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
Linux/mac
im windows
powershell -c "irm https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex"
Windows in powershell
get a vps or wsl
But i recommend downloading WSL2. Windows is poo.
hit the windows button then type "cmd"
That'll bring up the terminal
WSL2 is free and linux built ontop of your windows
irm : The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. - this is what it gives me
when i try to run it
