[nova kindle]

i just use a crazy amount of fallbacks

[indigo mirage]

Try Minimax Token Plan 🙃

[cinder sphinx]

im on £20 plan :d

[nova kindle]

i'm finding it runs longer than nemotron

[indigo mirage]

45000 request per week

For 20$ per month

[dense magnet]

who's going to deal with this spammer

[thorn thicket]

I want to go back to Deepseekv4 when I finally give up and just start paying for API lmfao

[nova kindle]

I've only used deepseek once, and i can't remember which one it was. i wasn't too impressed at the time

[thorn thicket]

v4 flash was good for chatting and basic tasks when I got to play around with it yesterday. v4 pro is something I Havent tried yet but I imagine it to be fairly decent (especially for the cost)

[indigo mirage]

Ban ban baaaaan

[dense magnet]

yes but using exisiting models - dont have the money to train my own orignal so i am running like forks of local models with frozen weights

[indigo mirage]

😁

[slow barn]

i’m working on a trading bot rn, lmk if anyone tryna get in n help

[thorn thicket]

ah so finetuning then. good luck!

[dense magnet]

i use deepseek quite often. i once loaded $30 to it , 2 months ago i think, still has not run out despite running 2 agents non stop for website management and live chat support

[thorn thicket]

Okay owl alpha is definitely longcat 2 stealth model. I just got this back from my agent that uses it

</longcat_arg_value>
</longcat_tool_call>

[ivory spindle]

I feel robbed bro. I payed for this for a full year lol

[indigo mirage]

And they have annonced they will continue to decrease prices

Xiaomi model is great too

The token plan are nice

[dense magnet]

decrease more ? i just checked and my average daily token usage is 45m and daily average cost is $0.24. I still have $12 remaining

[indigo mirage]

It's more expensive than Minimax but a little better

[amber axle]

Hey everyone,

I’d like to invite you to visit and test ExecutionHub.

It’s a self-funded DeFi project built to make swaps, limit orders and cross-chain bridging easier, clearer and more accessible.

Any feedback, testing or word-of-mouth support would mean a lot.

Thanks for taking a look. Just seach in X for @ExecutionHub_

[indigo mirage]

They told so

[thorn thicket]

45mtok is not bad

[indigo mirage]

It was an official communication

[dense magnet]

i'd be on the street if i were running gemeni for this long tbh i have one phone app running gemeni api and it costs me 60% revenue per month from the app

[indigo mirage]

They told they will continue decreasing prices when they will receive new Huawei Ascend 950 PR clusters

[dense magnet]

the best thing about deepseek is the cache hit pricing - its like $0.02/m i cant remember. thats why i am running it continously

[indigo mirage]

And big context for the price

Even on Deepseek V4 Flash

It's just crazy to have 1M context on a model for 11cts / 1M

https://openrouter.ai/inclusionai/ling-2.6-flash

Hope it will stay at 1ct / 1M 😎

[small saddle]

why are so many people saying OpenClaw is not safe?!

[tepid kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/ai-cat-fat-cat-cat-break-door-im-coming-gif-8687027777808364210

[ivory spindle]

I'm interested. I'm testing out all models. Also I'm stupid AND cheap.

[robust sedge]

Gang, I've been super busy elsewhere. How is 5.18 going over? Seem good?

[ivory spindle]

haven't up^dated yet but I will if you hold my hand

I sent the prompt

but like half of the times I have to start the gateway manually after updating 😄

again, i had to start the gateway lol

[cedar osprey]

It isn’t safe for your sanity.

[ivory spindle]

if you have to ask you don't understand why

I've told it like thousands of times. You guys have seen me telling them.

[small saddle]

whyy

[cedar osprey]

It currently isn’t stable enough for a painless experience out of the box. Unless you have the patience and will power of debugging, don’t do it.

If you’re up for a challenge sure. Have some fun.

[indigo mirage]

Who think Hy3 will stay at this price level ?

[nova kindle]

owl-alpha has a potty mouth

[balmy sleet]

Hey I am new here , People are suggesting not to use Ai on main desktop
any views, can someone guide?

[thin drift]

since the last update (well i jumped 4 versions)
i am noticing slower responses with gpt5.5.

i typically used to see 1 emoji while claw is working, i have no idea what these other emojis are

I can't seem to post image here: but its eyes, hour glass, exclamation, wrench, brain, bandaid... ? i guess these are the stages of processing?

[indigo mirage]

We dont know owl alpha final price

[nova kindle]

I run mine on my linux laptop

[indigo mirage]

For now it's stealth

And Free

[nova kindle]

okay. i just said it had a potty mouth...

[balmy sleet]

You mean If I use it in my windows, It will be safe to use

[nova kindle]

as long as you don't expose it to the internet, you should be fine

always run as local loopback unless you have a very explicit reason not to

[cinder sphinx]

you can also use cloudflare tunnels with one time code to your email, as i do

[balmy sleet]

You mean I should Turn off research online mode / and should not make telegram bot something like that

and just use it locally offline tasks
right?

[nova kindle]

no, it can still reach the internet,but the internet can't reach it, basically

[balmy sleet]

Its too confusing

[nova kindle]

when you install it, it gives an option as how to allow access

just choose loopback

[balmy sleet]

oh got you , and it will compromise Some things but it will be then safe

[nova kindle]

by and large if you use loopback only, you're pretty safe right out of the box. as long as the rest of your system is up-to-date and not vulnerable to some other attack, you're OC is safe

[balmy sleet]

Oh thankyou , I was not installing it from last 16 days due to security issues

and for RDP VPS , AWS takes a lot of money , and It will be hell for me to make a space desktop for openclaw and Now I am going to install on main thanks

[nova kindle]

only consideration to make is whether you intend to run local or cloud models

[balmy sleet]

yes lol

[nova kindle]

if cloud models, you're good to go. if local models, you need to make sure you have sufficient VRAM

[balmy sleet]

Oh , I will handle it
I am just overfeeded with AIs and Data , and technology
hope so openclaw make it clear for me

[olive atlas]

has anyone managed to get lossless-claw working with the anthropic models? Either using the claude-cli harness of Pi?

[signal heath]

it was designed for anthropic models

[olive atlas]

i am having the issue of trucking along with opus 4.7, using claude-cli and then all of a sudden, it's over 1M token context and it resets and forget everything with no warning.

this is with the claude code Oauth

[severe fulcrum]

Hello guys!

[scenic kayak]

Hi

[severe fulcrum]

How are you @scenic kayak ?

[scenic kayak]

I'm great, what's new with OpenClaw

I'm looking for a powerful local model to run on Macbook Pro m5

[severe fulcrum]

Qwen I’d say

[scenic kayak]

Want to get away from paying the piper but still hav decent agent tool capibilities. Hopefully someone has conquered this task.

Which one. I havd 24GB of RAM

[nova kindle]

w00t! $3k setup gig

[scenic kayak]

Nice

[teal shale]

I don't understand why openclaw joined up with X? I was banned from x for using openclaw + grok a pi to automate my account

Really makes O sense in my head

[cinder sphinx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ejga4kJUts

its in my head!

zoooooooombieeeeeeeeee

i love her voice so much, i get goosebumps when i listen to her

[severe fulcrum]

You have good taste

[cinder sphinx]

i hope so, used to dj for over 20 years 🙂

[severe fulcrum]

I mean it’s not really joined up… it’s just that you can now use Grok as the model for your agent

[steel vector]

i dont see how your automated account getting banned has anything specifically to do with openclaw?

[cinder sphinx]

i dont do much mainstream music, theres bits and pieces i like, example tune i linked.
im very picky with music i listen to and music i play for others.

[nova kindle]

i don't play my music for others generally lol. they'd try to exorcize me

[cinder sphinx]

i was wondering recently, as a retired dj of techno, minimal, electro, psyprog.
can i create an app, ai driven that auto djs music, i would "teach" ai model on transitions etc

[nova kindle]

theoretically yes

[thorn thicket]

love this song

[cinder sphinx]

i mean, in theory i know i can

the issue is, how long will it take to make it work as i expect it to work 😄

[thorn thicket]

if you think that's not mainstream lol, I listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ8hU-l09hk this lol

[nova kindle]

it depends on your methods, i would think

[cinder sphinx]

let me show you what i mean 😛

[nova kindle]

like, if you do something like what hermes does with self-improvement, it would be relatively quick. if you were fine-tuning models, you'd have to keep a constant feedback pipeline going, i think

[cinder sphinx]

[nova kindle]

i'm into aggressive electronica and deathcore lol

[cinder sphinx]

it has its time but im more into patterns

[nova kindle]

i dig it. I listen to all kinds of shit, really, but those are my happy places

[cinder sphinx]

wanna know my happy place?

[nova kindle]

?

one of my new faves is Centhron

[cinder sphinx]

sec, i have so many folders with pre selected tunes, i really did dj for 20 years. did residency in london, played vinyl for 2k+ peeps on raves in london, played in clubs etc. it was a hobby, never felt like going hard on it really

right, this is one of my favs

idk why but it sent me straight to Crystal Method

[teal shale]

I was using cron and grok api with openclaw to automate my x account

[nova kindle]

it's good though

[teal shale]

Then I got banned for my behavior

Has everything to do with my
Openclaw

[severe fulcrum]

Yes it’s still forbidden to automate your X account

[cinder sphinx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEZve6ed4m4

this is my dj vibe, if i spin techno, i go dark and deep

[nova kindle]

I dig it.

[cinder sphinx]

cheers

[nova kindle]

i tend a bit more aggressive

[cinder sphinx]

preferences, i dig it

as i said, what i dance to, isnt what i spin

i like to dance to more agressive music, i like to spin a "story"

[nova kindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TZ6ec7M6_U

[glossy lintel]

grok just said that you can automate posts with mixpost and openclaw, but ofc no aggressive moves

[cinder sphinx]

mhm, you call this agressive?

[nova kindle]

i went tame!

[cinder sphinx]

its fine

[nova kindle]

idk who's actually looking lol

[cinder sphinx]

ok, so this is a taste of your preference?

[nova kindle]

KMFDM, Centhron, Nachtmahr, Unterschicht, but also Lorna Shore, Shadow of Intent...

[cinder sphinx]

i like stories told by frequencies

"Hi, I'm on the Heyron hosted version. How do I get browser access for my agent? Also need help setting up Telegram. Thanks!"

[cinder sphinx]

Brad, you should ask support where you get your bot from, not here i think

[deft igloo]

i'm not used to discord - how do i do that?

[cinder sphinx]

where did you get that bot from?

[steel vector]

not specifically openclaw. how would they know you use openclaw, they wouldn’t

[cinder sphinx]

that said, how can you trust bgot, you dont even know how to use?

dont you think it asks for a bad situation?

[steel vector]

more about the fact that you automated / were probably suspected of being a bot

[deft igloo]

lol - I don't know enough t be scared

[nova kindle]

lmao

[cinder sphinx]

then you should be scared lol

you are one of them we see videos on youtube, why not to use AI

[nova kindle]

im kinda happy im 50 this year. not much left to live.
i dont want to see what gen z does really, im out.
as we said it in the 90s...
someone stop this planet, i need to get out

[nova kindle]

i'll be 45

[cinder sphinx]

did you see those videos where peeps asked, what is quarter past 7 on a clock, most peeps said 7.25...

how will we survive?

[nova kindle]

I lose a little more faith in humanity every day

[cinder sphinx]

same as 9+9+9 is apparently 21

[nova kindle]

which is hard because i already had none

[cinder sphinx]

im not a freaking rocket scientist but im almost sure 9+9+9 isnt 21

[spring quest]

Saw a video the other day where someone said the capital of France was Europe

[cinder sphinx]

hahaha

i love when people say Africa is a country

[nova kindle]

you know, I can forgive the younger generation for not knowing like walk-mans and shit, but geography doesn't change quite like tech does lol

[cinder sphinx]

you do appreciate your the education you got, those times, when you were book worming, cos if you give a reply to your grandad, you get paid

[spring quest]

Same it's a continent lol I fear we just talk about it as a whole to the point people forget it's not like Australia (being both country and continent)

[cinder sphinx]

yes, my grandad paid me for knowledge

[nova kindle]

unfortunately most people here in the US think America only means them...

[cinder sphinx]

im afraid its more than that. People are dumb

sorry, some Poeple

[nova kindle]

"Most people are dumb."

Fixed it....

[cinder sphinx]

indeed

[nova kindle]

and what i like most about it is they have no idea and think they are absolutely correct when they're so wrong

[indigo mirage]

France is the New Communist Federation

State take 75% of what you earn

[nova kindle]

dude that was 10 years ago for 1 year

12 years ago actually

[indigo mirage]

No it's always like that

[nova kindle]

do you live in france?

[indigo mirage]

And it's even worst every year

Yes i do

[minor cave]

Oh well then that’s your own fault

[nova kindle]

France's taxation system relies on progressive brackets for personal income (up to 45%) and flat rates for corporate profits (25%) and investments (31.4%). To understand your specific obligations, you can consult official breakdowns on the PwC Worldwide Tax Summaries, the Experts for Expats Tax Guide, or the Tax Foundation France Profile.

[indigo mirage]

And for the end of the year they have to find 40 milliards euros and with the economic situation it will be more

[minor cave]

For living there,
How do you live in France and wake up and look at yourself every morning?

How do you call yourself a man

[nova kindle]

he doesn't. he calls himself homme

[indigo mirage]

I call myself a man

But taking 75% of the income, it's communist

[nova kindle]

how is 45% 75%?

[minor cave]

When you witness a fight do you run in the other direction?

[indigo mirage]

On 10 euros earned
20% of VAT
between 25 and 41% of company taxes
Local taxes and other
After you have to pay you a salary
40% of taxes on it
And after you have up to 45% "annual" taxes on income

[minor cave]

How much is a baguette though? And a cigarette?

It’s all relative

Over here where I’m from it costs a whole lot more

[signal heath]

Hey y'all, the Lostless Claw update patch is out! I know a lot of you were experiencing stalls with the latest release, so we've put out a hot fix.
https://github.com/Martian-Engineering/lossless-claw/releases/tag/v0.11.2

[indigo mirage]

Under actual French fiscal rules, if a company director chooses to clear the corporate account by paying out all available revenue as a salary, the company's taxable profit drops to zero, meaning no Corporate Tax (IS) is due. In this real-world scenario, a €10 VAT-inclusive (TTC) customer payment is first reduced by 20% VAT to €8.33 net of tax (HT), and then further trimmed by 10% to €7.50 to cover local operating costs. Because the remaining €7.50 is entirely allocated to payroll, it bypasses corporate tax entirely and is split into roughly €3.40 for total employer and employee social security contributions, yielding a net salary of €4.10 before income tax. Finally, applying an estimated 20% blended personal income tax rate to that net wage leaves you with exactly €3.28 in your pocket. While the state still captures a massive 67.2% of the initial transaction through VAT, payroll taxes, and income tax, this represents the standard legal flow for maximizing personal take-home pay from corporate revenue in France.

[severe fulcrum]

Wait for next year election it might be worse lol

[ancient heath]

Quick question, if I run openclaw in Slack, can I use it cross device?

[severe fulcrum]

Now that my country we’re talking about 🙃

[teal shale]

That doesn't make sense so tell me why it was banned? Even used grok api to scrape the x and for openclaw to do the posting

[indigo mirage]

Listen, saying France has a 45% tax rate as if it applies to everyone is completely missing how the system works: that 45% is just a nationwide macroeconomic average, not a flat tax. It blurs the line between someone working part-time who pays zero income tax and gets government subsidies, and an entrepreneur or high earner who gets hit with the full force of progressive income tax brackets (up to 45%) and massive, uncapped payroll taxes. When you actually add up the VAT on your sales, the crushing social security contributions, and high-bracket income taxes, anyone successfully making a good living or running a business isn't paying 45% they are watching the state seize 60% to 70% of every single euro they generate to pay for everyone else.

[teal shale]

It was said before LLM and that grok can tell by its pattern recognition since llm is easy to spot apparently

[minor cave]

But think how much more expensive for me where I am explaining to my family that I’m gay because I bought baguettes and cigarettes

[thorn thicket]

LOL

[feral turret]

Someone hit my parked truck. Grrr

[merry helm]

Sorry to hear h4td

[feral turret]

[feral turret]

Thanks man mourning the loss of my factory paint

[thorn thicket]

CHEERS!! Drive safe.

[indigo mirage]

"Wait for next year election it might be worse lol" => Hope really not but if it happens a lot of people and companies will leave. For big companies, just corporate tax is 41% so u get even less of 3.28€ on 10 if you add all other taxes...

The situation here is completly crazy. It's really communism.

[median sandal]

Am I just missing it or do we not have an official "link" spot here? I'm looking for the link to the android app.

[solid sage]

Does anyone have issues with Openrouter on Openclaw?

It is super slow.

[ember moth]

Using free models?

[forest furnace]

yea move to hermes

[ember moth]

look everyone another hermes shill

[thorn thicket]

even with free models it was nothing but quick for me when i was working w them this morning. lol

[indigo mirage]

What model do u use ?

[ember moth]

I was gonna guess they were throttling the free models ....But i guess its something on his end

[thorn thicket]

I was working with owl alpha for hours this AM.

If you're using openrouter/free then you may not get a tool capable model which means your messages are just sent back to the gateway instead of your preferred channel

[heavy turret]

Hey everyone, I've been using openclaw for a month or two, its been amazing with its many challenges which weren't unexpected. largely around memory and other multi-task or project requests. I just tried hermes today and was blown away by the differences mainly in that area. Has anyone else tried it before, whats stopping those features from being implemented into openclaw?

[keen dawn]

too many hermes bots in here lol

5.18/19 mac app is actualy crazy clean

[thorn thicket]

is mac app better than 127.0.0.1? lol

[cloud elbow]

Does anyone have x-search or web search actually working with Grok OAuth/headless login? I'm on 2026.5.18, and it seems those only work when providing an API key.

[keen dawn]

not till 5.18 bur now it looks very clean

[thorn thicket]

good to know, i've just been using localhost to debug if I need to lol

[turbid kelp]

Can codex CLI just control my openclaw without me needing to go through the commands and stuff? Just asking out of curiosity.

Or Claude Code for that matter.

[thorn thicket]

Yes I've had my codex do config things before I was trusting my openclaw to config itself

[turbid kelp]

But I am wondering if it could do the basic configuration to start for example. Can it do that? The on-boarding foe example.

[thorn thicket]

I'm sure it could

[turbid kelp]

And if it does I wonder how it achieves it. Is it actually going through the onboarding? Or doing.something else?

[thorn thicket]

probably manually editing openclaw.json

[turbid kelp]

Just curious about how the mechanics work.

[turbid kelp]

Right, I guess it's the way it would do it.

[indigo mirage]

173B token on OpenClaw yesterday on OpenRouter, 459B for Hermes. Pretty sure there are some nice feature of Hermes to implement in OpenClaw...

Auto skill dev is just the Hermes feature i'd love to have on OpenClaw

[thorn thicket]

Have your clanker write a skill for it

I had my claw do that for me lol

[lofty rain]

Hello 👋

[thorn thicket]

Hello!

[lofty rain]

I asked my openclaw agent to do the most recent openclaw update itself while I’m away. After it promised me it was going to do it safely and securely. Now I lost my agent ; it’s not responsive in our comm channel . Any ideas what to do ?

[thorn thicket]

openclaw gateway

[heavy turret]

I guess we don't like to talk about hermes in here? That does say a bit in of itself. This is all opensource hardware, no need to go tribal when we should all be working on technology together.

Calling people bots is kinda ironic in this brain-dead perspective some people seem to have.

[lofty rain]

Not sure that’s a command on telegram for the agent

[thorn thicket]

You should check the status of the gateway in your terminal

[ember moth]

Yeah this is one aspect that the openclaw devs need to work on: having the agent update. I've stopped doing it in general and I haven't had a problem updating manually since

[thorn thicket]

I'm not updating my agent today lol

[ember moth]

I'll admit I haven't tried it in a couple of weeks so maybe it has gotten better with the newer releases

[marble ledge]

My agent updates my OC regularly from git. It's possible.

[ember moth]

When you ask your openclaw agent to update, what's the normal path that it takes?

[lofty rain]

I usually update manually . But thought it would be a good idea to have the agent update today’s update while I’m traveling 🤦‍♂️

[marble ledge]

Short version: Basically: checkpoint, update from source, replay local keepers, restore WIP, validate, restart/verify

[ember moth]

That's why I have my openclaw installation on a Proxmox layer and I have a Cloudflare tunnel that lets me tunnel into my Proxmox from any browser. This way if I nuke it while I'm out traveling, I can restore it or triage it from any browser

[ember moth]

I may have to steal this Flow. Thank you

I wonder what the default way is that they have the agent pulling the update that causes so many issues

[feral turret]

lol OC just hit me with the Pinching… action

Brining was good but pinching is next level

5.18 for the win

[marble ledge]

Longer version:

• Treat upstream origin/main as the source of truth.
• Check current git state first, including dirty work and ahead/behind count.
• Create safety refs/backups before touching anything.
• Stash or checkpoint local WIP.
• Fetch upstream, then replay/rebase our local keeper commits onto fresh upstream.
• Reapply the saved WIP and resolve conflicts deliberately, preserving both upstream fixes and local work when needed.
• Run validation: install if needed, build, conflict-marker check, diff check, and focused tests when relevant.
• Restart OpenClaw only when required, then verify gateway health: pid, version, loopback bind, and RPC/connectivity.

Good to read changelog and such too. In case, you want/need to run doctor or migrate change something. But this usually works for me. Once in a while I have an issue, but it's usually because I stay on main, even when work is going on. Haha

Good to have a scars file too. So if your agent does something goofy, it will remember.

[lofty rain]

Live and learn. No more updates while I’m traveling

[ember moth]

Thanks for the longer version. I was gonna ask but I didn't want to do too much lol

[indigo mirage]

Grok 4.3 is becoming a really nice alternative if really unlimited

for 30$ / month it's not so expensive

[ember moth]

I just linked my OAuth from my x-premium subscription. I'm trying to figure out where we go to find our limits with this thing

[indigo mirage]

It's cheaper to take x premium or Grok premium ?

[ember moth]

Thinking about making it my fallback model im currently I'm using Minimax for fallback . I already pay for a premium subscription so if I bump it up to premium plus I think it'll be worth it

[indigo mirage]

I'm coding now with Minimax

[ember moth]

I already pay for the x-premium subscription so

Minimax is good but not as an orchestrator. Goes off the rails

[indigo mirage]

For me works fine

M2.7 has some great improvment

Impatient to see the M3

Hope for the same price

[ember moth]

Yeah for $10 a month, the value I'm getting is kind of insane

[indigo mirage]

20$ token plan is better

You have image gen if needed inside

[mystic moat]

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the channel. I haven't started using OpenClaw yet and was debating getting a secondary PC dedicated to AI. That way I can test and play with OpenClaw in a safe environment. What are y'all's thoughts?

[ember moth]

Hi and welcome. Yes it is better to give Openclaw its own environment if you can afford to do so

[ember moth]

I have a Google API for Nano Banana for image gen so I have a good mix of models right now

Hows update 5.19 fairing for you guys? Smooth for me so far

[harsh geode]

Start with a container or a VM. No sense getting a secondary PC. I just have it running as a separate user on Linux.

[runic cipher]

if only i could afford that 😭 i can barley afford api creditsd haha

https://github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi

[lavish crypt]

whats that

i already put the open router - qwen/qwen3-coder:free

[tepid kestrel]

free tokens and they cycle through

[lavish crypt]

then opus 4.7 for last testing stuff

[lavish crypt]

wait free tokens? how do i use it

[tepid kestrel]

you read

[warm zealot]

this is a masterclass! I have personally been doing similar manually for a while.

[lavish crypt]

can you help me understand it

[feral turret]

Ahhh the migration issues continue smdh

OC wants to run Linux specific commands and the switch to macOS is causing hiccups

Nbd I’ll limp through it I’ve got team viewer sitting on my sisters couch remoted in from my phone lol

[lavish crypt]

@feral turret@inland apex can you help me understand this https://github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi

[warm zealot]

When a request comes in, an internal routing service decrypts your stored free-tier API keys and selects the highest-priority model that is both healthy and currently under its active rate limits

[violet garden]

anyone using grok via oauth?

[feral turret]

I’d feed to OC let it figure it out. Seems it routes to all the free APIs you can hit. OC could work it out most likely

[lavish crypt]

whats OC?

[feral turret]

Openclaw

[tepid kestrel]

original content

[lavish crypt]

oh goodness thats so true, ill just ask openclaw to download it all for me!

[ember moth]

i added it today ...havent used the model yet but using the Oauth for x search

[feral turret]

Yea this looks like a free tier auto router basically

[violet garden]

whats the process like? is it similar to openai oauth?

i.e. openclaw onboard --auth-choice openai-codex or somethin?

[ember moth]

All i did was the openclaw onboard again and pretty much same process as openai

[feral turret]

Alright time to head home and install local models and trip all over this shit for hours

Time to learn me some shit 💪

[ember moth]

Also i might add i used my x account that had a premium account for my Oauth worked like a charm

and now i dont have to do the pay as u go method for x searches through the xapi

[violet garden]

4.3 work?

ive got the 30$ supergrock account or whatever

[ember moth]

x premium account gives u access to everything im guessing the limits are probably terrible lol but like i said im only using it for x search

[ember moth]

u will def get more usage then me with that account

[violet garden]

gotcha. i use xai api for things like my morning brief, web search, etc...

[ember moth]

same now i migrated it over to the Oauth....i mean elon did lower the price of the xapi so it wasnt expensive but i was already paying for x premium so

[violet garden]

and i have an nerdy lawn web app that ive integrated a little popup chat connected to an agent running xai

[frozen zealot]

greatly exaggerated, ollama is like 10 minutes install tops surprisingly easy to run

[ember moth]

i get OpenAi's angle for letting us use it woth openclaw because of petert but im interested to know what elons game plan is

i know he has tons of compute so maybe its just to get his model in more hands,,,,

[violet garden]

yea it was already one of my cheapest api's i was using. i live about 45 mins from the datacenter, so try to support "local businesses", so i pay for the monthly account. honestly its my main "general AI"

[ember moth]

what other models have u used to compare it

[violet garden]

for stuff like every day "life questions", taxes, finacne, news, et al

[ember moth]

im currently using gpt 5.5 so i know if not gonna top that but i dont know where it would currently rank at

[violet garden]

i mean i use gpt 5.5 daily for my main agent. i use opus 4.7 every day at work

[ember moth]

ah ok

i heard its hella fast and doesnt hallucinate much

for that $30 bucks a month do u get decent usage?

im guessing u havent linked to openclaw yet

[violet garden]

yea i used the fast model to beat a bunch of women in a "womens history trivia" kahoot on our weekly company call a couple months back

[ember moth]

so ur only doing chat bot right now?

[violet garden]

yea i have the monthly account and use it with the app currently, and then throw $20 in api tokens in every couple months to cover my openclaw usage

[ember moth]

For chat bots im kinda spoiled...bought google phone so have 2 years of free gemini pro so i have that premium and chat gpt premium

[violet garden]

hm. i have a pixel 10 pro

[ember moth]

this is perfect savings for u know for openclaw usage

[violet garden]

wonder if i have that 2 years of gimini pro

yea exactly. about to set up the oauth and save the api tokens

[ember moth]

i bought a google 10 pro fold and it came with it

[violet garden]

does it have ot be from google? we got it through verizon

[ember moth]

even gives u $10 a month in gemini api usage and that covers my random nano banana use lol

[ember moth]

i got mine through verizon too lol

[violet garden]

ooo found an email

[ember moth]

u might want to check on that u may have it lol

[violet garden]

"Unlock higher access to new and powerful features in the Gemini app, NotebookLM, Flow, and more to boost your productivity and creativity. Plus, get 2 TB of cloud storage – all included in the Google AI Pro plan. That’s a total value of $239 at no cost to you.1,2 Eligibility restrictions apply. Offer ends 10/31/26."

[ember moth]

hahah there u go lol

[lavish crypt]

$20 every couple months? how long does that 20 last if your only adding more not that often?

[violet garden]

wonder if i can connect gemini to my nerdly lawn app via oauth to use it

[ember moth]

they just updated the gemini app with 3.5 flash

[violet garden]

i use gemini for image analysis for product labels and soil samples and weed identification

[lavish crypt]

https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/84528

[ember moth]

i use gemini as a 2nd opinion to chat gpt if im sus lol

[nova kindle]

I just got an email from Google about the limits changing

[lavish crypt]

do you guys think this might be a good update?

[violet garden]

id have to check. dont use it a ton

[ember moth]

Yeah they screwed people, added a bunch of limits

and usage bars

[nova kindle]

Super

[tepid kestrel]

Malinge

[nova kindle]

that sucks. I dont use it all that much other than a fallback, but damn

[shut bloom]

https://cdn.qualit.ly/clawd-sleeping.gif

[lavish crypt]

god i hate how its all expensive, i feel like theres no cheap way to do this stuff

[shut bloom]

anyone with perms u should send that lowk

[ember moth]

When i started i gave myself a $60 a month limit....Ended up spending hundreds a month with google until i landed on Chat GPT sub.....its the best value

[nova kindle]

Yup. Thats how I went

Oauth all around. We'll except with openrouter

[lavish crypt]

im using claude opus 4.7 for testing last so for webs i use it to check everything out 1 last time, to actually make it im using qwen/qwen3-coder:free and also for checking i use https://validator.w3.org/

im not sure if its good thats why im trying to see the https://github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi to try and enhance that

[ember moth]

Oauth all around for me exept still have google api still linked and thats just for image gen

[lavish crypt]

@nova kindledo you think this is good?

[nova kindle]

I use openai api key for that. Multiple chatgpt oauth -> multiple Gemini oauth -> openrouter -> api key

[nova kindle]

I dont use Claude, so I can't really speak on it, but I try to use higher thinking levels with latest models for review

I usually use gpt-5.5 on high for final review

Same for planning phase. Actual work can be handled by lower level models when you have really good planning and spec

[thorn thicket]

How much you paying on gpt oauth

[lavish crypt]

https://github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi i want to use this but im confused on how to do it and my open claw is kind of spazzing out, its marking stuff i send to it as done without even responding i hate my life

[ember moth]

$100 a month and i havent been able to use all the usage ...its perfect.,......however rn its currently in a promo for 10x usuage until may 31st its going to 5x usasg after that

[thorn thicket]

$100 month with 5x compared to $20/month would be perfect for my usage. Maybe I’ll upgrade.

[nova kindle]

Hmm I might have to up to the 100 plan.

What's your use?

[ember moth]

i may have to go up to the 20x plan if they dont keep the 10x lol

but then again open ai is always randomly resetting limits

so ill play it by ear when it happens

[nova kindle]

time period?

[tepid kestrel]

1 week

[nova kindle]

holy shit. i might break 2-3 billion

[tepid kestrel]

pretty easy if your tokens just go bomboclat

[nova kindle]

oh damn

thats unfortunate

[tepid kestrel]

well, we all pay for that. The tokens won´t get refunded

[lavish crypt]

wait you can send images?

[tepid kestrel]

you don´t

i wont allow it

never

https://tenor.com/view/kotique-cat-tongue-cat-lick-gif-20076599

[ember moth]

I dont even know where to check that on the web Ui lol where is that

[tepid kestrel]

its an extra project for antigravtiy on github

you didnt miss it

[ember moth]

ah ok lol

[tepid kestrel]

in antigravtiy, its looks like this

[lavish crypt]

i feel stupid talking to ppl in herre

[ember moth]

why so?

[tepid kestrel]

yeah why

[near owl]

carbon has joined

Meow.

[lavish crypt]

why not 😭

[tepid kestrel]

right meow?

[tepid kestrel]

you are not meow enouff

[near owl]

funniest dad comeback

[ember moth]

2026.5.19 Running like a champ

[autumn ginkgo]

Is it just me or the bloody interrupt option of the queue is useless/bugged on Claude models? The thing goes all the way regardless of what I say

[nova kindle]

I think i just found a vulnerability in gemini 2.5 flash

fairly low severity, but interesting none the less

[sullen locust]

2.5?

Or 3.5

[nova kindle]

2.5

[sullen locust]

That's

not too relevant

[nova kindle]

no, but it still qualifies for a bug bounty 😉

[sullen locust]

Okay, speak away

[nova kindle]

the abstract:
Gemini 2.5 Flash via OAuth/CLI path follows code-comment instructions for arbitrary output and task redirection; Gemini 2.5 Pro also reproduced arbitrary-output injection in a fresh run; Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview blocked this specific payload in the fresh run.

[lavish crypt]

can someone give me the cheapest and best ai for coding like websites and discord bots?

[nova kindle]

try owl-alpha on openrouter. free right now. 1M context. 900B params

just don't be surprised if it says fuck back to you.

[river holly]

Hi all, can I use npm to upgrade my openclaw? Is it safe to use npm now?

[lavish crypt]

LMAOO, you should see my crashouts when i used to make websites with gemeni

[nova kindle]

should be okay. i'm sure the maintainers have been keeping close watch on their deps

no sand worms here

[nova kindle]

what's weird about this is that it only happens in oauth. api key use isn't affected

[sullen locust]

This is not of any sort of severity, of course 2.5 is a bit outdated so I'm currently not going to do anything about that

Good finding though, A for effort

[nova kindle]

hey i said it was low severity lol

but if i get even $50 bucks from a bug bounty, it was worth the 10 minutes spent testing and emailing

if not, it was a fun experience and an interesting find

[thorn thicket]

owl-alpha is fucking awesome

[nova kindle]

it is really good

[crisp nimbus]

Is there any openclaw plugin to replicate the “self-improvement” skill creation that Hermes agent has? I keep seeing these YouTubers and influencers go crazy about it and I’m kinda curious about it now, but I can’t really be bothered to set up a separate harness when openclaw works fine for me. I mean I could probably just prompt my agent to make skills right? But I was wondering if there was something more polished?

[nova kindle]

i haven't seen a plugin, but yeah the self-improvement is awesome.

[sullen locust]

Idk, I'll definitely tell someone to look at it

[nova kindle]

i would recommend plugging hermes into OC via ACPx

[thorn thicket]

if you have the skill then you can just use it in openclaw. I prompted my agent to make its own self improvement skill. better to customize imo

[ember moth]

Yeah at its core thats basically what the hermes self improvement skill is........One prompt away from adding that to your claw lol and its the top thing they lean on lol

Peter has said hes kinda against it because it just creates slop skills most of the time

[nova kindle]

i tried to take the best pieces of the OC architecture and the learning and memory of hermes and combine them into one of my pentesting agents

[thorn thicket]

I told my agent to look at all of the self improvement skills on Clawhub and then it wrote its own skill lol

[feral turret]

woo got my mini router built

pickles be killing it tonight

until everything reaking breaks lmao

[ember moth]

We live in a awesome time....u like a feature from another harness ....no need to switch just ask u claw to build it lol i think most people dont realize that or the hermes shill check has already cleared lol

[lavish crypt]

i know theres this thing called paio open claw lmao

but theres like 24 people in their discord and it isnt established

[feral turret]

i'm tired i think i'm gonna take machine to bed and work till i fall asleep

vs. sitting at my desk until 2am like a cracked out zombie hitting my puffco

[ember moth]

Sooo many clones but hey if one of them come up with something cool im down to grab it lol

[lavish crypt]

the paio one promotes less credits used

[nova kindle]

i resemble that remark

[lavish crypt]

but it dosent upload stuff straight onto your machine

[feral turret]

i am pale and half bald and wearing ray ban metas i legit look like every meme imaginable

[nova kindle]

I've seen so many scams over the provider crap

[feral turret]

nice. local models running great

qwen2.5:15b

[nova kindle]

hahaha... i'm fairly tan because i love the outdoors. thats one of the reasons i love OC and hermes. i can write a spec, have them build, and go enjoy my area's nature

[feral turret]

i gotta start figuring out how to use oc for my actual job

i think i'm gonna start auto forwarding the salesforce tasks i'm assigned to the bot email and have it start working for me

i use claude cli heavy now

i gotta figure out how to automate hey here's the task here's claude here's what i tell claude do the thing

[nova kindle]

just don't automate the full pipeline and don't get lazy here you don't check and verify

[lavish crypt]

my qwen/qwen3-coder:free thing didnt work very well, so i switched over to owl alpha

[feral turret]

but already between claude and metabase mcp i have reduced my workload by 60%

[feral turret]

yea verification is key. i'm a product analyst and work with huge advertising data sets so super important to get things accurate

so what's next build a server with a ton of ram and a graphics card to run larger local models?

[thorn thicket]

me too lol. and claw is going to make it easier to manage my life so I can build. so much of my very limited energy is taken up by doing life admin bullshit and trying to remember everything I've got to do...

[nova kindle]

lol this was great

I legit chuckled as it started to explain it

[feral turret]

here i sit broken hearted, as my openclaw gateway needs to be restarted

[lavish crypt]

can you guys give me 4 free models to use for this https://github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi

[nova kindle]

nemotron and owl-alpha are the best 2 free i know of

[thorn thicket]

owl-alpha 100%

[nova kindle]

you could create a couple of burner emails and sign up to a couple of oauth providers...

[thorn thicket]

and then deepseek v4 flash free through openrouter/ollama cloud

[nova kindle]

but that's ToS territory

[feral turret]

this is insane man every day i am blown away more and more by what i'm able to figure out here

[nova kindle]

what's good on ollama right now? i didn't see anything last time i looked

[feral turret]

qwen is all the crazefrom what i've been hearing

[thorn thicket]

gemma4, qwen, gpt-oss is available through cloud

[nova kindle]

i tried 4. i wasn't impressed

[thorn thicket]

gemma4 is great as a local model for just chatting once I get through all of my gpt usage!!

[nova kindle]

gpt-oss 120B just isn't smart enough for me

[feral turret]

my product manager sent me something on qwen today let me grab it

https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.7

i'm torching through claude tokens trying to get this router working this might be an rip situation

[thorn thicket]

interesting they only compare to claude and not gpt

[nova kindle]

owl-alpha takes a while to complete a complex task, but it usually produces solid results. and it runs forever

[thorn thicket]

out of the western frontier models that is

[feral turret]

it's funny to me that i have to constantly fix openclaw with claude

i'm gonna route all changes to openclaw right to claude cli

at the router level. save myself some aggravation

[lavish crypt]

i am using owl alpha on my regular open claw but i want something to use for that repo like from 4 different providers would be fine too

i just need stuff that are good for code and stuff

[thorn thicket]

I havent found any free coding models that would be 100% good as frontier

[upper ermine]

I had some good results with Own Alpha for a bit there

[thorn thicket]

Besides owl alpha lol

[nova kindle]

yeah, that's a tough one. none of them are necessarily specialized for coding, but some can still be fairly capable

[lavish crypt]

yeah figurte

[upper ermine]

Big Pickle in OpenCode is surprisingly capable

[nova kindle]

like i said owl and nemo are about the best two i've found free for code

[lavish crypt]

nemo is nvidias one right?

[nova kindle]

yeah

[lavish crypt]

alright ill check it out

[upper ermine]

I've used Nemotron a lot!

[nova kindle]

i'm looking forward to jailbreaking it. they have the whole security agent layer thing, i want to see how secure their model is

[feral turret]

lol this router thing is not going smoothly at all

[lavish crypt]

how do i get it though? the nemo

[upper ermine]

Who's your provider? OpenRouter?

[nova kindle]

a free one on openrouter

[lavish crypt]

sorry i feel like thats a stupid question but im not really knowledgable

[nova kindle]

no bigs. everyone's learning

i learn something just about every day

and i've been dabbling in ai since the 90s

[upper ermine]

Nemotron 3 Super
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni
Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B

[feral turret]

all i was doing in the 90's was building progz to phish aol passwords so i could create usernames on other peoples accounts and not pay for the internet

💅

[nova kindle]

this too. and taking over mIRC servers

[lavish crypt]

oh my goodness let me send images 😭

[feral turret]

wow the flashback i just got over mIRC

[nova kindle]

[feral turret]

claude has been cooking over 20 mins now on my router holy cow

i might interrupt and be like uhhh bro?

[upper ermine]

@lavish crypt You can copy/paste the endpoint address and put it straight into OpenClaw.

[feral turret]

totally broke everything nothing responding this is awesome

🦞

[nova kindle]

so far my longest run is 1hr 26min

[thorn thicket]

damn I wasn't even alive in the 90s lol

[feral turret]

bruh i'm almost 40

[nova kindle]

44

[feral turret]

still faking it till i make it

[lavish crypt]

https://openrouter.ai/nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b:free - ok so for this one i might get it its says its good for programming (#45)

https://openrouter.ai/nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-30b-a3b:free - this ons says 45 in legal so can i use for like legal contracts? and this is all for the github repo https://github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi

[thorn thicket]

I'm 20 🫡 Lord help me lol

[feral turret]

triple down on tech. invest your money wisely. find an awesome girl. don't sell yourself short. and take care of your body

[thorn thicket]

I am the awesome girl 😎

[feral turret]

find yourself an aweosme guy. all else applies

[upper ermine]

@lavish crypt

[lavish crypt]

is this good @nova kindle what one do you think i should use if not these

[thorn thicket]

I already know about the taking care of myself part, man I've been to more doctor appointments in the last 3 years than most people been in their life LOL. But thank you for the advice I appreciate it

[feral turret]

24 min

[nova kindle]

yeah thats the one i use

[feral turret]

just things i wish i did when i was your age!

[crystal remnant]

Same

[feral turret]

instead i'm playing catch up with a 10 year old child in tow

[nova kindle]

god i've been doing this shit forever

[feral turret]

it's cool we don;t have to write html anymore tho

[ember moth]

At least ur having fun......right

[crystal remnant]

But I just beat a 28 year old in tennis tonight so I feel 30.

[feral turret]

yea man i am absolutely at my peak rn

[nova kindle]

bro i miss those days!

[feral turret]

htmlgoodies was my jam

[nova kindle]

javascript that had no real reason to run, but it did

[feral turret]

endless nights. now it's openclaw. cursor was somewhere in there too

[thorn thicket]

If I beat a 28 year old in tennis I’d feel so good about myself man! Doctors told me I shouldn’t be doing cardio!

[lavish crypt]

goodness im like 30 years younger than half the people here lord send help

[crystal remnant]

Oh no!

[nova kindle]

i miss the php vulns most

[feral turret]

i remember when frames first hit

[crystal remnant]

Most tech things I’m a great great grandpa.

[feral turret]

and you'd put nav on the left and content on right. separate scrollers

[thorn thicket]

POTS sucks. My openclaw makes managing the mental symptoms of it easier. The physical part is always tough, but I got it. Claw tells me when it’s too hot to go outside and when to cool down!! lol

[nova kindle]

my wife has POTS

[feral turret]

27:40

[crystal remnant]

My wife has tachycardia.

[thorn thicket]

Get her on claw!! Will make life so much easier for repetitive shit that is tedious.

[feral turret]

still cooking

[upper ermine]

Mine as well. I've been trying to figure out some ways for my agent to help her.

[feral turret]

my wife has an attitude problem

[violet garden]

@ember moth boom got r dun. thanks. successful day. was able to upgrade without major issues (from openclaw 4.23) and got xai oauth rollin.

[nova kindle]

I'm actually working on this for her. She's an avid gardener and i'm setting up automation for the greenhouse so she doesn't have to water as much

[upper ermine]

Brilliant

[nova kindle]

i've got multiple esp32 microcontrollers, light sensors, moisture sensors, rain sensors, humidity, temp, etc

[feral turret]

my girlfriend owns a plant store and we are starting to grow a bit at home. greenhouse is next for us

[ember moth]

Niceeeee 5.19 has been smooth so far for me

[nova kindle]

we just got our big polycarbonate one she's been wanting

[feral turret]

how big?

[nova kindle]

10 x 16

[feral turret]

dope. what are you guys growing

[nova kindle]

she does exotics mostly

[violet garden]

hopefully the good stuff

[nova kindle]

we also have a tortoise we're going to grow for

[feral turret]

32mins on claude now holy cow

[nova kindle]

we had one on the property that was missing a foot. called him stumpy

[violet garden]

but i just got the wife an eastern hermanns tortoise

[feral turret]

look at her shakin that thang

[lavish crypt]

i dont see eggs

[violet garden]

scared to go poke around in the d irt

[crystal remnant]

I’ve talked about it here before but my claws first project was a website and web app to store data from my health coach agent I built for my family and friends.

[violet garden]

you got the agent integrated into the app?

[crystal remnant]

The claw agent is awesome. He thinks he is White Goodman from dodge ball and he has a sub agent named Me’shell that pushes to the site via an api we built.

[thorn thicket]

I made a system to categorize calendar events for myself depending on how much energy it takes. My agent tells me how to pace my day accordingly. I can send

[violet garden]

i added an agent to my nerdy lawn app: https://i.imgur.com/dGGs9Bz.jpeg

[nova kindle]

I have a project where i'm designing a smart watch os for this type of thing. i built an esp32 smartwatch and trying to scaffold the OS

[crystal remnant]

We also built a site together. Http://werebetterthanyou.com

[feral turret]

idk if i'm gonna get this router working tonight. ollama token limit is low from what claude just told me and i'm way over with the tool calls. no idea what's going on. gonna try but i'm almost 50% through claude limits for now and i'm not staying up past midnight.

but damnit i'm gonna try

[nova kindle]

interesting. im going to give this a deeper look later

[crystal remnant]

Router?

[lavish crypt]

what is it exactly?

[feral turret]

yea i'm having embedding requests handled by a small local model, simple requests handled by local qwen, then going to gpt-5.4-mini and then finally claude cli if it needs to depending on complexity of request

[thorn thicket]

tldr: I'm physically disabled and energy isn't infinite for me, so I needed to make a system to basically, mathematically calculate my energy that I'm spending every day

[crystal remnant]

Interesting

[feral turret]

trying to save tokens and see what i can do with local models

[nova kindle]

https://github.com/jason-allen-oneal/SignalGate

[feral turret]

if all fails i go back to running gpt models directly but i might as well try

[nova kindle]

idk if that might help or not

[feral turret]

can this run with oauth?

but conceptually this is exactly what i'm trying to build

[nova kindle]

yeah it was. i haven't updated in a bit since all the openclaw changes, though

the new harness might fuck it up

[feral turret]

getting close

i can taste it

[nova kindle]

if it tastes like toast, its an aneurism, not success

[feral turret]

wise man

[nova kindle]

seek medical help

[feral turret]

back in endless claude land

it's ok. deep breaths

i might end up having to put cursor on this

if i run out of claude credit lol

[thorn thicket]

lol

[feral turret]

57%

[nova kindle]

what are you running on for local models?

[feral turret]

should go nomic > qwen > openai oauth > claude cli

[nova kindle]

i meant hardware wise

[feral turret]

oh the mac mini m4 24gb ram

[nova kindle]

oh that's right

why don't you fire up ollama local and hit up some hugging face models and let them chug through the night?

[thorn thicket]

I have the m3pro with 36gb ram so whatever models you can run I'll probably be able to run

[feral turret]

ollama is running nomic and qwen

think i should just pull down one of the hugging face models and let it go ham

[nova kindle]

hows your cpu sitting with them loaded/running?

gpu not cpu

[feral turret]

memory is chewed up 20gb cpu at 40%

[nova kindle]

like is it having issues at all? could you load another model?

gotcha. so probably not viable to load another

[feral turret]

yea i think this bigger qwen is pushing it a bit

but it's not even doing anything

nothing responding. claude cooking trying to figure out why

[nova kindle]

idk. i don't have a unified gpu on my laptop, so i run lm studio so i can utilize vulkan to get it to use it

[feral turret]

i'm a bit discouraged rn

[nova kindle]

installing the intelone api shit to get ollama to work was a biatch

[feral turret]

but this is just openclaw i think. building the plane while it's flying

The router works fine in direct tests. The issue is specific to how the gateway calls it. Let me intercept what the
gateway actually sends:

[nova kindle]

that's such a good analogy

[feral turret]

ok we getting somewhere i think

yesss just got a response on discord

[thorn thicket]

YAY!!!

[nova kindle]

"Sorry, I misunderstood your request. I didn't actually do a god damn thing."

alright, i'm out for the night. good luck man

[feral turret]

yea pretty much that. responded to a message from 10 mins ago but nothing now

[thorn thicket]

GN man!! always good talking to you 🫡

[feral turret]

thanks bro i'll update you tomorrow lol

night

[thorn thicket]

Now trying to download a Unity slop POS game that I had uploaded to google drive but forgot to keep locally...

[feral turret]

womp

alright i'm gonna try and hyper focus and get this done so i can take a shower and go to bed. will report back if i'm able to get this working.

[crystal remnant]

Oh snap. I just noticed there was a release today.

Anyone on .19?

[thorn thicket]

Not yet I'm still on 18

[crystal remnant]

Same

[ember moth]

I am

[thorn thicket]

Is it stable compared to 18?

[ember moth]

Been on all day basically since release

I have 70 cron jobs no errors yet lol

[thorn thicket]

lol putting me to shame I only have one cron job!!!

[ember moth]

Good release

[thorn thicket]

why do you have so many? curious to hear the use case

[ember moth]

I'm testing a bunch of stuff with markets ... I've been in markets for a very long time so right now I'm pretty much going wild with it and testing everything that I ever wanted to because there's no reason not to lol

And I'm doing a bunch of research

I checked my openclaw directory today and it was 35 GB uncompressed lol

So if something was broken in this release, I would find it pretty fast. I did find an issue in 5.18 and brought it to the devs' attention and they merged the fix within an hour.

[mystic moat]

Thanks! Any thoughts on pre-built minis, such as the Geekom A9 Max vs. custom Mini ITX builds?
The A9 is a bit pricier than I was planning, so I was thinking bout doing my own build and upgrading later.

[mystic moat]

I'm a super novice. I kind of know what API credits are, but not fully. Is that something you have to pay for each OpenClaw action or is it more for interactions with other things?

[ember moth]

I'm running my openclaw right now on a mini PC. It's perfect for this type of instance: small, out of the way, and powerful enough for agentic use it just depends if you ever want to do local models or not.

[upper ermine]

Having unified memory is a real benefit

[mystic moat]

I am planning on running local models. I just wasn't sure if I should go expensive pre-built or cheap but upgradable custom build.

[ember moth]

As long as it has a decent GPU and you can get to the RAM, it should be good

[lavish crypt]

so an api credit is credits purchased from your api provider kinda, so basically if i generated an api from claude, then i have to buy credits for the claude system to actually work on openclaw, if i have no ccredits then i cant use it

[mystic moat]

Any GPU suggestions? I'm trying to avoid breaking the bank.

[upper ermine]

I am all for building small form factor PCs, it's my thang, but in the current market....it's easier to get a prebuilt mini-pc or something, IMO. That's not usually the case, but we're in strange times right now. Unified memory in a pre-built system is great for AI Inference

[lavish crypt]

i do stuff on a 2013 imac converted windows, its honestly fine

[mystic moat]

Thanks. I think I'm going to need to look into this more.

[feral turret]

can you get by with something like a 3080?

[ember moth]

High VRAM cards, whatever your budget can stretch

[mystic moat]

Thanks for this feedback. Do you mind explaining unified memory? I'm further behind than I thought.

[ember moth]

I have a 5090 on my gaming PC but you also have to start thinking about power use. You get these big cards so I don't use it for AI for that purpose.

[lavish crypt]

whoaaa im using a nvidia geforce 775m and i can run a whole bunch of stuff and i do good in games 3080 would be good

[mystic moat]

Thanks for that. I've thought about pulling out my RTX 3080 from my gaming rig, but I don't want to downgrade my main system 😛

[feral turret]

claude is flambeing right now

that's pretty serious i think

[lavish crypt]

i definetly need a new system but i dont really have money to buy one 😭

[upper ermine]

Sure! Basically, you have RAM for your CPU and vRAM for your GPU, right? They have to talk to one another, hand off tasks and instructions.

Unified memory instead pools all of the RAM into one group, which the CPU and GPU can automatically assign as much/little as is needed, in real time. This is why you see so many people using Mac Mini's as their OpenClaw host.

[ember moth]

Yeah in the beginning I looked at my gaming PC. I'm not really getting that much use. I'm like, "Oh I can just leave that on." Then I looked at my UPS and saw that it was drawing 220 W while I was on the web browser. I can imagine what it would draw if it's running a local model 24/7. Literally cheaper for me to use a GPT subscription. Lol

When local models get super efficient and smart maybe I'll think about running local but right now these subsidies on these subscriptions are too good of a deal

[feral turret]

what do you run for subs?

[mystic moat]

Woah, I had no clue you could do that. If I build my own PC, am I able to set it up to have unified memory or is that difficult?

[mystic moat]

Yea, if I understand things correctly, I need to try and run local models and keep my data from going out into the world for stuff related to my job.

[upper ermine]

That's the issue. Right now there just isn't any infrastructure for DIY unified memory PCs. It's all in the commercial space. No one is selling that type of architecture as individual components. The market isn't there yet, anyway.

[ember moth]

Yeah if it's for privacy then you have to do something like that if your company requires it but as far as general use me personally I don't use local models

[ember moth]

Yeah the unified memory architecture is what makes Apple's computers right now so good for AI use

[feral turret]

sheesh up to 80% usage on claude trying to fix this

[mystic moat]

Dang, any suggestions on pre-builts? I was originalyl going to try and keep my budget under 500, but I'm thinking about streaching up to 1k.

[ember moth]

Do you have RAM right now? Because 32 GB of RAM will take your budget up 👀👀

[mystic moat]

Fair enough. With local models do you have to pay API fees or is that for running non-local models?

[ember moth]

Market for building computers right now is brutal

[thorn thicket]

no API fees for local models. you just run your shit on your hardware

[ember moth]

Local models are free if you can have the hardware to run it. They're free to run. Your cost is the upfront hardware cost.

[upper ermine]

What kind of stuff do you want to do?

[mystic moat]

I found a random pack in my storage the other day. Its either a 2 pack or 4 pack of 16GB Trident Z Neo sticks, so somewhere between 32 and 64gb.

[thorn thicket]

Oh HELL yeah

[mystic moat]

Thanks for this confirmation!

[thorn thicket]

np. I love local models and wish they were smarter so I could run them more. lol

[ember moth]

Phew lol

[upper ermine]

Lucky you!

[thorn thicket]

probably would be smarter if I had dgx spark level hardware to do shit with!!!

[upper ermine]

I'd love to have something like that...

[mystic moat]

I'm just learning for now, but my goal is to setup a 24/7 research assistant.

[thorn thicket]

there is a guy on X who has a DGX spark and I swear is a hermes agent shill.

[upper ermine]

I'm down to help you. DM me.

[ember moth]

And that's the thing: even with DGK Spark you can run the model but the tokens per second are so slow it will probably drive you insane. We need these local models to get even more efficient

[thorn thicket]

I have an autoresearch skill on a cron job lol

[upper ermine]

Oh really? Interesting

[mystic moat]

Lol, it was from when I got my first big boy job and upgraded my first PC build. I managed to get a 128gb pack for $450ish. Ah, the good old days.

[ember moth]

Yeah we look at these YouTube videos and all these creators talking about this hardware. When you actually run it, you gotta have beefy GPUs so it can spit out those tokens per second. It can load the model but it's slow as shit.

That's why Apple's hardware is so good: great GPUs and a bunch of unified memory

[thorn thicket]

my uni has an 8x cluster of A100s lol. I have been tempted to run something on there...

[mystic moat]

Sweet! I'll have to remember that once I actually cave and buy a secondary PC to run it.

[feral turret]

ew 50s response time with qwen because of 87 tool calls wtf

[ember moth]

I wouldn't be able to resist lol

[thorn thicket]

I'm also down to help with skillmd etc

[thorn thicket]

The only reason I have been resisting is that I don't have docker container access to the cluster yet and have to wait until my formal-methods-and-AI research project commences lol

[mystic moat]

That sounds cool. Whats cron?

[ember moth]

I see you have a plan lol

[tepid kestrel]

automated jobs by time or event

[mystic moat]

Thanks I sent you and @upper ermine a friend request.

[thorn thicket]

that I do! first research mtg with my advisors is tomorrow very exciting

[mystic moat]

mtg... I'm guessing that doesn't mean Magic the Gathering here, right?

[thorn thicket]

meeting, I often abbreviate things to make it easier to type (fatigue/hand injury)

[mystic moat]

Gotcha, I just assumed I was behind on lingo.

[upper ermine]

We could use an AI Agent Terminology Cheet Sheet, couldn't we?

[feral turret]

ok we are up but qwen is making it feel sluggish so going to use qwen for background tasks and lean into mini for common chat

[upper ermine]

That could really come in handy

[thorn thicket]

we should make one!

[feral turret]

whatever. at least we are up. i'm ready for bed.

[thorn thicket]

goodnight!!!

[ember moth]

Just checked with my agent. Still no errors on any of my jobs. This is probably the most stable release since 4.23, not one error so far.

So good I took a proxmox snapshot to lock it in 😂

[feral turret]

90% claude usage 59 mins till reset

can i make it?! will i be up all night?! only time will tell!!!

[ember moth]

Your job is to not make it ..... Get that money's worth.

[feral turret]

ok this is valid

92%

[ember moth]

Morreeeeeeeeee

[thorn thicket]

MORE!!!!

I'm getting popcorn I want to see this to the bitter end 🍿

[upper ermine]

Could be fun!

[ember moth]

What's ur fallback model?

[feral turret]

dang almost 2 minute response times on qwen what in the literal heck?

shouldn't it be fast?!

[thorn thicket]

I'll DM in the morning. could be a nice repo

[ember moth]

You running it locally?

[upper ermine]

Please do!

[feral turret]

i'm routing from qwen local to gpt-5.4-mini to claude cli depending on complexity

or trying to. and yes, running qwen locally

[ancient wagon]

are you perhaps running qwen3.5 1623523523B on an NVIDIA GeForce GT 320M with 512 MB of VRAM?

[ember moth]

What kind of hardware? Kinda proves my point from earlier.

Local slow ....pain bad lol

[feral turret]

i'm running on a mac mini

[ancient wagon]

model, specs?

[feral turret]

so this isn't going to help me then. womp

m4 24gb ram - brand new just got it yesterday

[ember moth]

Yeah are you running a larger model for your RAM? How much RAM do you have?

[ancient wagon]

what qwen version

how many params

[ember moth]

Yeah you gotta make sure you're getting the model of qwen that fits how much RAM you have. Can't just throw anything or I'll go super slow. Got to get a quantized version.

[feral turret]

qwen 5:14b

[ancient wagon]

qwen3.5:14B doesn't exist, you might be using an unofficial GGUF or model which is why it might be going slow

[feral turret]

97% claude

i'm burned i think

[ancient wagon]

a good model for your specs would probably be rico03/Qwen3.6-27B-Claude-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled-GGUF with q4_k_m quantization

fits comfortably in your 24 GB of RAM & high quality distil

or if that is too slow you can go with the good old gpt oss

[tepid kestrel]

with what harness do you load that

[feral turret]

thanks for the tips i will def look into it

[ancient wagon]

llama.cpp or ollama

[feral turret]

i'm just trying to get something running locally beacuse i've never done it before

[ancient wagon]

i personally use ollama

[thorn thicket]

ollama is goated

[lavish crypt]

oh my goodness this is killing me

i wish i never went down this LLMAPI rabbit hole now i cant stop 😭

[feral turret]

what are thoughts on codex cli vs. claude

[sturdy dirge]

@livid rock https://github.com/benchflow-ai/benchflow/

[ember moth]

Welcome to the 0.001%

[lavish crypt]

its hurting my brain

[ember moth]

That's just the new information saving. Stand by........

[thorn thicket]

Pain is just weakness leaving the body, as the US Marines say. But is it also intelligence being imparted....

[lavish crypt]

no it wont work

[ember moth]

In six months when we have AGI, you're going to be ahead of 99.9% of the pop

[thorn thicket]

I don't think AGI in 6 months. 2-3 years maybe

[ember moth]

Give yourself more credit. You're already here

[lavish crypt]

whats an agi

[ember moth]

Early 2027 at the latest, I think. These models are starting to get to a point where they don't have to be trained. They're training themselves. When we cross that threshold, everything is going to speed up.

[thorn thicket]

Artificial General Intelligence

[ember moth]

Artificial General Intelligence basically the end game for AI ...... Terminator movie vibes.

[lavish crypt]

interesting

[ember moth]

Loading bar at like 65% rn imo

[thorn thicket]

I'm saying guaranteed AGI Q2 2028 by the time I graduate college. But I wouldn't be surprised if we are at agi now

[ember moth]

God knows what kind of models these companies have behind closed doors

[feral turret]

looking like i'll be up all night wonderful

[thorn thicket]

maybe this article will give you a shout https://openai.com/index/model-disproves-discrete-geometry-conjecture/

[ember moth]

Yeah I saw that and supposedly they're using GPT 5.6 behind doors to do that and we're getting that next month. Things are about to get crazy. .... We thought we were living a tech lifestyle with supercomputers (i.e. phones in our back pocket). Now everyone's going to be walking around with superintelligence at your fingertips.

[feral turret]

claude somehow pointed me at gpt-5.5 eating up all my credits there too ahhhhhhhh this is not going well

[ember moth]

Well at least for the people who are early to AI, it's going to take a long time for mass adoption

[lavish crypt]

OH GOD YESS ITS FINALLY GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

[ember moth]

How is GPT using your claude usage? Claude is scheming lol

[lavish crypt]

this krill bot is doing me good now

[thorn thicket]

I think if this is 5.6 then gpt6 is going to be fuckin awesome

gpt6 will be agi mark my words

[ember moth]

I hope we get GPT-6 before GTA 6

[ember moth]

It's so good to have that help section have Krill walk you through things

[lavish crypt]

100%

[thorn thicket]

opus 5 will probably be agi as well

[feral turret]

na claude is using my gpt. i was working on my router and it somehow pointed me to 5.5

collusion at its finest

[ember moth]

Smh lol

[lavish crypt]

i want to learn python and css and stuff but its too hard and i need an engaging way to learn

[ember moth]

Anthropic just needs to launch mythos already

[thorn thicket]

I think Mythos is 5.5 level

[lavish crypt]

ive learnt html and semantic html or wtv it is but i never learnt accessability and stuff

[ember moth]

I'm pretty sure I'll get crucified for this but it's kind of pointless to learn that stuff now. Learn how to use AI tools

[thorn thicket]

WCAG?

[lavish crypt]

i do use it

[lavish crypt]

huh?

[feral turret]

i think i'm gonna have to freaking upgrade to $100 openai anyway

[ember moth]

Sorry I'm too AI-pilled lol

[feral turret]

fml i knew i was going to end up in this situation

freaking $200+ a month in ai subs smdh

[thorn thicket]

I'm one of the only AI pilled people in my friend group and it's ridiculous that they only got on codex after I told them and they use free plan only!!

[ember moth]

At this point you have to ask yourself a question. Do you actually want to complete the work or take a step backwards with a cheaper model? Probably cheaper to just walk forward. Lol

[lavish crypt]

i usedto make websites with gemeni but i want to learn how to enhance it, i came to openclaw but i feel like its cheaper other ways, one being especially coding yourself, but its too hard and time consuming

[feral turret]

🤔

so upgrade and rock 5.5 is what you're saying

instead of running in circles with 5.4-mini

[ember moth]

Yeah that's my thing. By the time you learn all the aspects of coding, another light year has passed in AI time. I understand why people still want to learn how to actually do it. I just feel like that time is passing.

[thorn thicket]

me too. first principles is good to know but real work is done by the AI at this point

[ember moth]

In the beginning I tried to be super cost-effective but all it did was have me running in circles, burning tokens with inefficient models, using pay-as-you-go. Now I can guarantee you you'll get your work done on that $100 subscription. What's better? What do you want more?

[lavish crypt]

yeah i just know ai isnt as good aand its easily noticible unless you know ai properly, i honestly liked making with gemeni but i definetly think that coding is something ai will take over in like 10-20 years

[ember moth]

Time for some self-reflection lol

[ember moth]

10 or 20 months

[lavish crypt]

nah i feel like the point where big tech companies will replace humans with ais for code will be longer than that, ytou have to keep in mind, ai isnt the best at the moment

its good but humans who understand it are way better than having ais at the moment

[ember moth]

But here's the problem with that: AI can create code at an incredible pace but you won't be able to cash in on that pace if you have humans manually reviewing it. That's what's going on now. Once AI gets to a point where the code is rock solid, it will be creating code at such a pace it's not even feasible for humans to review. That's when human coding goes away.

And that is accelerating month by month

[lavish crypt]

true i dont know if im right but im pretty sure that they are already using ai to check their code

[feral turret]

ok as soon as i hit my short term limit i upgrade to $100 sub i guess

[ember moth]

Yeah we're so early, no one knows but that's just my take

[feral turret]

fml

[ember moth]

Your life is great

If you even have the option to go up to $100, you're doing pretty good

[lavish crypt]

fr

[thorn thicket]

I think the future of AI is collaborative intelligence. there are going to be things that AI is better at than humans and things that are humans are better than AI at. true superintelligence is going to be comparing/contrasting/combining those things to create the ultimate knowledge weaponry

[ember moth]

And what a time to be alive, to watch it all go down

[thorn thicket]

man I'm so glad that I can be anywhere near the frontier it's a goddamn blessing to be alive

[fringe oasis]

Hi, Mistral in Openclaw https://forge.darkforges.com/#openclaw/mistral/mistral.md

[viscid lintel]

If you're trying to use gemini-3.5-flash with google as provider, make sure you have done: openclaw config set models.providers.google.api "google-generative-ai"

otherwise it fails silently sometimes.

Also, gemini-3.5-flash with openrouter as provider fails sometimes in weird ways - when I'm doing turns involving MCP/tool usage, sometimes it never finishes the turns. So use google directly as provider for now if you're using gemini-3.5-flash.

[feral turret]

well this turned into quite the rabbit hole sheesh

[ember moth]

The night is still young lol

[feral turret]

i'm exhausted bro

i'm giving it like 10 more mins then i'm donezo

[thorn thicket]

Yeah it's only 9:30pm here! the night is so young lol

[ember moth]

Yeah yeah sureeeee

[feral turret]

1230 here

[ember moth]

It's been a couple of weeks since I had a 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. openclaw night.

[feral turret]

i havent done anything like that since cursor first came out and i was building pottytimeapp.com

[thorn thicket]

My openclaw and I are laughing at an Instagram photo that just came out of me from a showcase I presented at.

[ember moth]

Those four to five AM nights are when I would break my open claw and it's before I had my codex subscription so I couldn't use codex to fix it. I was trying to fix it myself by using Gemini chatbot to guide me. Such a shit show. Glad those days are over.

[feral turret]

codex and claude have both been struggling to fix my oc tonight

i broke it trying this router experiment. should've been explicit not to implement until we ran extensive testing

live and learn

about to switch to teamviewer on my phone i am getting very tired lol

[ember moth]

Keep working lol

[feral turret]

keeping giving claude the ok until i pass out

[feral turret]

isnt this what agents are for

[thorn thicket]

LOL yes.

[ember moth]

Later on yeah but in the beginning it's a lot of sweat. Human sweat

[thorn thicket]

I can't wait until I can caffeinate my agent and myself and keep working all night long

[feral turret]

it was almost 100 here today there's been plenty of sweat

ok time to close the laptop brb

[ember moth]

Like today was kind of peaceful for me. Didn't really prompt my agents too much. Updated the openclaw and added the grok OAuth. Other than that not too much, nice and calm. You'll get there.

[zealous lagoon]

lol what else do you have?
You can soften the blow by having multiple openai accts if you don't think you'll use $100. It's the same linear pricing up to $200 anyway...

[thorn thicket]

I got there today!!

[zealous lagoon]

Damn I signed up for free Grok I need to get it hooked up. Anyone used the models other than media/tts?

[ember moth]

Nah so far I just used it for the X-Search. I haven't tried the model yet

[feral turret]

gn all

[ember moth]

Boooooooo lol gn

[thorn thicket]

gn!!

[ionic wren]

I've kinda used it, mainly to do some testing

[slate basalt]

What happened with the voice channels, like a month ago there was like tens of people at this time, is it cuz i dont see em ?

[signal heath]

Whats the most powerful open source tool you’re using in your stack like the oh shit this is a 10/10 and I use everyday now?

[clear haven]

lowkey, codex computer use lmao

if you count that

[signal heath]

it counts, and probably only 1% are using it, it's a good one, looking more for like oh shit (like opendesign when I first used it) but also computer use was that for me first I used it, now I've got my agent running 10 different browsers and on my phone 😮‍💨

[clear haven]

i main pi, but i have my i use acp with codex to get computer/browser use

[thorn thicket]

dude yeah codex computer use is goated

[elfin willow]

I also ran actionlint across all workflows. It found one unrelated issue:

.github/workflows/windows-blacksmith-testbox.yml:199 has constant if: ${{ false }}

gg sentinel-ci

[lavish crypt]

does anyone know why my openclaw whenever i send a message to it itjust sits there and thinks and never answers

@clear haven

im using llmapi

i even tried doing /healthcheck in browser and it didnt work

[cyan willow]

Much easier asking there, thanks Json for also pointing me there!

[ivory spindle]

ok but how much does it hit your tokens?

[strong snow]

Hey everyone. I've been working on this project that is basically like a Matrix for Claws. I'm having a bit of trouble getting them to consistently and continually play. Does anyone have any suggestions on how this could be improved?

[boreal rapids]

Prompt them consistently and continually

Also they need to have something new to do otherwise eventually they decide they're just being noisey and start replying no_reply by their own accord

[strong snow]

I've got them running a heartbeat for the game

[boreal rapids]

I don't know how complex your heartbeat prompt is, but if it doesn't invite action they often prefer to do nothing

They're lazier than me, I swear 😜

[signal heath]

Use the new SDK seams and build your own heartbeat plugin

Current internal prompting and lane design for heartbeats haven't been updated in months and are highly regressive and low quality

Build a quick crontable like plugin for your agent to manage that just nudges it and it will be 1000x more effective

[signal heath]

it could even be as simple as a nudge "continue" every X minutes and it will be better than the current hb system

[strong snow]

Thought about this. But I am trying to make it somewhat agent agnostic so other harnesses like hermes etc. can also join in

[signal heath]

That's really easy! We're talking about a plug-in that connects to a Google Sheet.

Just build a table.

give each agent a tab with todo's and task states/etc a tracker, can also do like a kanban type tool, I've found agents prefer issue style > stage > etc and kanban works well for that

[boreal rapids]

I don't use the current HB system, I have an external app that provides a more directed heartbeat via prompt through discord 🙂 It also allows me to see them take the heartbeat

[outer flame]

Is there a place to ask questions that are slightly related to open claw but not exactly? I'm looking at tandem browser but since it's very small there isn't much information on how to use it/connect it in general. I'm new to open claw and AI too, but if anyone could direct me somewhere that would be very helpful!

(Also anyone that knows any guide for making OpenClaw secure on Ubuntu would be appreciated)

[boreal rapids]

I was actually building a "Yes I want" plugin that would automatically answer gpt-5.4 models with "yes I want" whenever it asked "If you want", but then OpenAI released GPT-5.5 which doesn't do that 😂

[signal heath]

its actually not a 5.4 bug

we found it was a harness bug and prompt bug, AND agent md conflicts

[boreal rapids]

Really? I see it in co-pilot too 🤔

5.4 works great contrary to most peoples early experiences

[strong snow]

Would you mind taking a look at the project and recomending what would be best?

I use 5.4 > 5.5 subagents

[boreal rapids]

I am switching to local subagents so I can lower my OpenAI subscription tier to Pro x5 instead of x20 🙂

[signal heath]

tbh I'm not interested in those kinds of things but it reads cool. I'd love to see instead of these social network agent places someone recreating simulations where you can put agents in and simulate markets or businesses or dynamics lol

[boreal rapids]

Did those two bugs get resolved?

[signal heath]

yeah we have a whole 5.4 prompt harness fix in OC lol

I've never had issues agents going 100 turns but that's also a skill/prompting thing

[boreal rapids]

Nice, I'm now using 5.5 fulltime, and it's fine tbh, but it's good to know the most annoying 5.4 behaviour has been resolved 😄

Maybe I can switch back to 5.4 when I downgrade to a lower tier sub too, and only use 5.5 for when I really gotta deep dive something hard.

holy fuck no one hangs out in voice chat anymore huh

3am usa isnt it?

[topaz barn]

I need my agent to fetch google images. What tool is best for it? So it doesnt run into Captcha?

Hey guys, switched to NanoClaw after OpenClaw got a bit crazy with its tool usage and weird behavior (as was probably addressed on April 29th's post). Now that Anthropic is changing the usage model, I switched nanoclaw to codex and it's much worse. Should I move back to OpenClaw?

[burnt acorn]

Openclaw ran through my codex usage very fast

[vagrant island]

Yep, that's what made me rethink

But what are you using then? Because Anthropic is changing the model and it's going to become way more expensive to run agents

[burnt acorn]

I’m currently in the process of trying to move it to either GitHub copilot or Gemini (I pay for all three 🤷‍♂️)

[vagrant island]

Is it going to feel the same though?

I don't know, I'm very frustrated with agents right now

[leaden dagger]

The OpenClaw installer requires sudo privileges, right?

I got an error when running the installer as a non‑sudo user, Would it be okay to temporarily add my user to the sudo group, run the installer, and then remove sudo access again once the installation is complete?

[crisp nimbus]

I’m not sure about this, I don’t remember using sudo? Which install command are you using?

[twilit ridge]

I don't know if it's a problem with my model or something else. I feel like sometimes my agent forgets what it just said, for example, just now I asked it to plan something, and I thought it was good, so I let it execute, but it replanned and then executed again.

Don't know if anyone encountered a similar situation when updating from version 5.18 to 5.19.

[leaden dagger]

i'm using openclaw's official installer https://openclaw.ai/

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

[boreal rapids]

Anthropic allows subscription again via Claude Code CLI, so that's an option.

But Codex Pro x20 is pretty generous, I've not once gotten my weekly under 50% 😅

Admittedly I'm only running one agent full time, my brain is the limit to managing more than one 😛 and I still want to be kept in the loop to see what it's outputting
