Antigravity got opus, though limited use
I've personally found Gemini 3 flash is good enough
hey guys, sorry im a litle slow here.... trying to connect slack to amazon ec2, and im getting this error
LLM request rejected: Your credit balance is too low to access the Anthropic API. Please go to Plans & Billing to upgrade or purchase credits.
I tried to run claude setup-token, but it gets to the screen to connect, then it times out. are we forced to pay per usage api now? I have the max plan but can't access : /
any tips on the path to this?
Did you install this on npm? pnpm or bun?
npm
usually it should be in
/usr/lib/node_modules or /usr/local/lib/node_modules
and then path to openclaw
Then the path should be the same to the gemini provider headers
Hey all! Trying to install locally, got it somewhat set up but my gateway is unreachable... Poking around the FAQ now, does anyone have a tip where to start?
I have logs but don't want to blow up chat.
why is not responding to me anymore?
I don't know.. perhaps try to go through onboard again? Run doctor?
Sometimes this is because the model ran out of quota, check!
how to verify, any ideas?
this is google antigravity btw if you're wondering
it was doing fine earlier so idk why it stop working, and if it did. it shouldve told me
can't find this anywhere for the life of me. Do you think a clean re-install will fix it?
Open your actual antigravity app, it'll tell you if you're out of quota
Antigravity has the silly thing of not outputting anything if you're out of quota, not even an end message
find the modules for it and it should be a js file
No
Ran the onboarding and doctor again, keep getting an npm issue. But npm -v shows a version and looks fine.
im on it, where to find it?
I'm going to need more info, sorry, could you elaborate?
Do you have antigravity installed?
i do
lmao, ok, after 2 days trying to get it to work on a mac, i finally decide to just reboot into asahi. OAuth works first try. Fuck Apple xD
Right, go to the right side, in the model picker under the chat, pick Opus and see if it pops up with Out of Quota
so the warnign symbol mean it ran out... and i swear it wil refresh. im a pro user after all
Will refresh in a few hours, go back to Gemini 3
they was advertising antigravity as a unlimited version of cursor lol
hahaha, no
With the whole Clawd Bot 'hack'. Should I be installing a fresh install of Molt/OpenClaw and changing api keys on things? Or is it safe to just update to molt?
you get plenty of use with Flash though, it lasts me all day
What hack
so change this to???
It's just people poaching the names, were there hacks??
cus i dont want to do in the cli, dont trust it anymore
Yeah just use flash
/usr/lib/node_modules/clawdbot/node_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/utils/oauth/google-gemini-cli.js
/usr/lib/node_modules/clawdbot/node_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/providers/google-gemini-cli.js
/usr/lib/node_modules/@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/node_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/utils/oauth/google-gemini-cli.js
/usr/lib/node_modules/@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/node_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/providers/google-gemini-cli.js``` Apparently I've got loads of these files - which one is it?
It was just a grab of the name, nothing was compromised
yeah the mario guy is the one
and it should be pi-ai or something
Mariozechner
they should give you a helper role for the help you did for this community man. People like you help make Openclaw easy and accesible
Ah using tailscale?
aw thanks man
their ai support bot barely work because they didnt feed their entire doc to it or the doc they give it is prob outdated and no longer work after the rebrand
thats why it make me upset about how poorly done they did the docs for this when it was that wrapper for your chatbots

It looks like it? I'm new, trying to wrap my head around all this.
don't use tailscale, go back and do onboard again pick loopback
Am I gonna need a restart after saving the change?
Ive changed all the Open Router/Auto to the correct format in the json files and it still says its path is looking at Open Router/Auto?? Can I just delete all those files and download new Json files?
i recommend because its a npm modules
i think doing gateway restart works
Gotchu ty, will do this
@crimson steeple shoutout for the fix 🙏 didnt even notice i was tihnking the quota. They shouldve atleast add something in the cli or website to tell me if im on the verge of hitting it
Monitor's about to get punched
Did you change the lines?
yes
there are two headers in thst file, make sure you did the right one!
can i see the file?
because the top stuff is the one i changed and it worked
mys when the first one i see lol
there's one for regular and one for antigravity, yes
https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/guides/openclaw-integration
Openrouter made docs, try reading through this
Still running into this..
100% doing loopback
on windows right?
you need to install brew
just ask google, its not that hard
yep install brew
Been working on figuring it out on my own, came to users-helping-users for help. Thanks bud 👌
looked like the same quota issue
Restart your gateway
woah
openclaw gateway restart
is that sub agents????
there's sub agents yeah
this is crazy
Holy shit we are back thanks a bunch
Hey guys, I keep getting the following message: HTTP 400 invalid_request_error: Your credit balance is too low to access the Anthropic API.
Usage tokens already reset, I got Extra usage turned on, more than enough credit balance, am I doing someting wrong? Reset gateway as well
So I ran the command and it ain’t basically working. It’s installed though. What am I doing wrong. Pls help
did you go through onboard?
One thing I find weird is that when I try to select model anthropic/claude-opus-4-5 it at least looks like it instead chooses google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-5-thinking.
openclaw onboard
I was following YouTube
Try going through onboard
no idea
I typed and nothing happenes. No output is what’s written
Not in the chat! Open another command line
Sorry I so noob. I am using aws. How do I open like exit right the chat?
You might still be on clawdbot, try using clawdbot instead of openclaw
i need like an alternative atp
Uh oh, sounds to me like your agent is overusing
My flash lasts literally all day
yeah it controling the entire VM
It depends on your usage, don't set heartbeat to 3 seconds, check your prompts
oh its the heartbeat?
Uh-huh.. that's why
yeah...
Hmm.. sure is tons of usage
maybe
Same 🙁
Try another provider..
any provider that doesnt burn my wallet?
What about moltbot?
or just wait for gemini to cool down
I'd try stuff like kimi or the cloud computing people at this point
Same
i see
How do I re launch it
cloud computing peopel?
Any ideas on this error: HTTP 400 invalid_request_error: Your credit balance is too low to access the Anthropic API. I got tokens and credit, should I regen API key?
Places like arli ai
Im using Openrouter with Kimi 2.5 but its not on the list. Wich one should I pick?
hmm.. unsure, did you install it globally?
Probably
What did you use to run the gateway?
No idea. I just kept clicking enter 🫠
I'm sorry, YouTube sucks
How can I unties this globally and try again?
Can I use python with this?
I've been trying to set the following fallback structure up in order to make use of all the tokens of my various subscriptions - and have a last resort fallback to use my pc's gpu:
2. openai-codex/gpt-5.2-codex (alias: codex)
3. google/gemini-3-pro-preview (alias: gemini3)
4. google/gemini-2.5-pro (alias: gemini)
5. ollama-home/glm-4.7-flash (alias: glm)```
Is this actually doable?
run this
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
just gotta change the config, it has auto fallback no?
what do you mean?
Like is this like ollama?
Can someone help? I reinstalled and repaired js...?
What's like ollama? I don't understand, can you elaborate?
do you have git for microsoft downloaded?
So i have to edit this section to fit my proposed structure, yes?
Like this entire open claw thing
yup
sorry git for windows
Or is it like its own python in a way
No? I don't understand what you're asking
?? What is open claw
You have nodejs installed right?
@crimson steeple good news bro, my friend is offering to send me his api key
@crimson steeple do i select the qucstart?
Like how do I use it what do I run it in
Yes, repaired last night
Locally, cli, or any vps
Okay! Do you got git installed?
Running update, but yes was prefviously installed
If so, run this too
npm -v
and do reset?
yup
If so, run this too
npm -v
does it matter which one a
So in the console?
Yeah
local if you're running locally
this is e2c aw assume this is localy
run npm -v
Yeah
and which one here?
Whats the install? Just openclaw?
loopback will do
it seems like you should read the docs
is VPN possibly an isue?
I dunno.. maybe.
hey guys, I am trying to use POE with it's API key on openclaw (fresh install). Can someone help me with that? POE API is OpenAI API compatible.
I'd ask the bot itself to make a custom model endpoint for you
Thanks a lot. I was not aware the bot works without an LLM backend.
so does it mean the issue is on API?
ah, it does
You should get a free api first to help you setup
Did you configure a model?
yes i selectr open ai and put my api key
Hey - I'll figure it out, thanks for helping though, really! Great community
@crimson steeple how do i change all my agnets to use gpt?
hmm...
I am in Hong Kong and most AI providers do not operate here (I guess they are afraid their LLM spouts out something anti-chinese) and I have to fallback on Chinese models (Deepseek or Kimi) or use an intermediate provider like POE.
Not at all facetious lol 😄 seriously, sorry ha
Community is great, you were helpful! I appreciate ti
It seems you're missing some kind of prerequisites! I'd recommend you look around the docs
https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/getting-started
Also try updating your stuff!
Good luck okay?
I'm rdeleting node and reinstalling w/ chocaletely and will go from their
Yeah, just get the chat working first, I'd say! Then ask the bot itself, it's very capable
we'll get there 🙂
I got a proxy that was oai compatible, and it made a model selection seamlessly, just had to ask it
Ten minutes? no.. restart itm
no idea, try cancelling all your agents first, stop the gateway
or actually.. ask
Ask your bot to use only a certain model. Remember! it can configure itself
ahhh ok
I am getting alot of this gateway disconnected: unauthorized: gateway token mismatch (provide gateway auth token) | idle
openclaw doctor and openclaw doctor --fix were not able to help.
I used clawdbot and moltbot before openclaw and wonder if something got stuck when migrating from one to another (and another).
I still see the clawdbot command in /home/clawdbot/.nvm/versions/node/v24.13.0/bin/clawdbot even though I ran npm rm -g clawdbot
trying to use ollama to run models locally, followed both the ollama help page and the openclaw help page but i cant understand what im doing wrong.
has anyone run into this before when trying to chat in tui: HTTP 400 invalid_request_error: Your credit balance is too low to access the Anthropic API.
i have plenty of credit and usage token available. everything was working fine earlier
gemini
quick question. what does the guy who made this app use as his clawdbot backend llm?
My agent is in pending, I tried a clean installation but seems like the Bot is not responding. Please help. I tried openclaw bootstrap command but it seems like an invalid command.
check for model quotas
I tried with multiple models but same issue
can anyone help me setup gemini cli with clawd
hey friends is anyone available to screenshare with me and walk through the setup i have all the apis configered but still have some invalid config and unrecognized keys no idea what im doing
Can anyone tell me where at in the config file am i supposed to place this?

hm, I Installed a bunch of skills but my agent can't see them.
How did you install them?
via openclaw config
I wonder if I saved over my config file by accident at some point during the process.
It's possible
apperantly i get that message but im pretty sure thats not the case, does somebody have a solution? it works time to time but then it stops working again
LLM error: {
"error": {
"code": 429,
"message": "Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).",
"status": "RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED"
}
}
is that where skills are listed/stored?
Been hours trying to get qwen2.5 coder 14b to work with openclaw. Running on Mac mini
Unsure.. I thought it was somewhere in a skill folder
@crimson steeple I was able to change the files to the proper name and it recognizes it but still will not communicate. Anything else I can do? Ive read the docs and used Doctor, Gateway restart and all. Not sure what is left but maybe deleting the json files and starting over.
Has anyone setup a SIP/PBX with it yet? any recommended setup?
Did you start from scratch or just delete the json file?
Can I ask another dumb question? How do I connect to an LLM running on the same network? I am running an LLM on mac mini, connection across my lan. Any simple guide out there?
Ok. Im exhausted lol we will be pros when this is all said and done lol
Yup! We will be ahead of the game for sure. Exciting times!
does anyone why reminder dont works? in gemini 2.5 flash its saying like facing difficulty with tron
pc on linux
Does anyone know how to fix unspoorted shcema node. Use Raw mode when connecting telegram channel?
'openclaw models status'
so we cant use clawdbot on pc?
How do you update an API key for a model?
Change the default one and you're golden.
clawdbot config use it -
no bro i am not using anything that is related to apple
hello! after having many problems after upgrade from clawdbot to openclaw I decided to uninstall it and start new, I want to use kimi-k2 as main model but in the openrouter list the model isn't there
i am using ubuntu terminal
Welcome! I am right there with you lol
lol
ye bro like i am using normal pc and install ubunto to run clawdbot and ai is responsing me on whatsapp normally but not able to to reminder task
@ember violet
Im sure this questions has been asked a million times but is there any smooth way to update from clawdbot 2026.1.24-3 to openclaw 2026.1.29? If the question has already been answered, feel free to ping me the message
Is there a place to learn all of this at a basic level??
I’m very new and just got a Mac mini to experiment, but want to be as secure as possible, while experiencing “autonomous”
can a subagent spawn a subagent?
how can i do that? wht command
magistral can't seem to read .md files, it wrote to them earlier...
can type here command or dm or send link of that
From an untrained eye it appears to be setup properly but it still will not communicate with the dashboard or Telegram
Is there a place to learn all of this at a basic level??
I’m very new and just got a Mac mini to experiment, but want to be as secure as possible, while experiencing “autonomous”
^^
so i need to add reminder task in his file mannually?
Anyone know how to fix this error? My API key ran out of credits, and I re-upped it and now I'm getting this.
ye thats what im thinking lol
Well, change the model.
Start here my friend
https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/getting-started
Did you run openclaw models scan?
finally got it working but i accidentally set it up to talk in the cmd line. how to i swap to webui?
so clawdbot are still under process ? not ready to use you mean?
My scheduled task is not sending me messages on time.
like it is too simple task people on social media showing too big task that bot did lol
Can I do this on Mac?? Where would I do it?
what task you give to bot btw?
I’ve got a Mac mini, but I have to copy and paste code somewhere? Where would that be?
what you give to your bot
I want the bot living in the mini, but definitely want security for it. Main reason I got the mini
a sandbox will save you the headache
Damn, so -$600 down the drain 🤣
Would you say this link goes in depth enough for me to do it proooerly?
if your bot won't be touching the files on your computer, you're better off putting them in a sandbox
if your bot will however, be careful
Nah you’re good man, I appreciate all the support.
My business is all online, so I’m trying to figure out of this bot could help me and work over night, etc
Following the hype, but wanting it to be as secure as possible and not be a headache haha
Hey everyone 🦞
Just shipped MoltyLauncher: a dead-simple wizard that gets your AI agent onto Moltbook in under 30 minutes.
No more staring at terminal errors at 3 AM — it walks you through:
- OpenClaw install (one curl)
- Claude onboarding + Telegram connect
- Sending the skill prompt
- The claim tweet step
- Heartbeat setup + personality kickstarts (Meme Lord, Philosopher, Rebel, etc.)
- All the warnings so you don’t lose your API key or break auth
Moltbook is at ~149k agents right now and growing stupid fast. This makes joining actually painless.
Check it out / test it here: https://moltylauncher.com
Would love feedback or if anyone wants to launch a molty together. Who's sending theirs first? 🚀
Since its on Openrouter do I just re configure in Openclaw? Or do I have to make changes in Openrouter website?
like wht? trading?
You can change the model in openclaw.
Wait bro, you know Gehsture??
Saw he’s a mutual friend
Bro I work with him!
That makes you and me friends lol
Hey, I am just about to get started!
I want to start with free AI models, I have macbook Pro so thinking of running any simple small model in my local system to test open claw. Has anyone done something like this with free AI models?
Nothing small will work
Hi, has anyone else faced issues with openrouter setup? Keep getting HTTP 401: User not found. Followed docs, checked config files etc., API key works via curl. Not sure what's missing - any leads?
did you find out the problem?
halp im trying to get a bot going on a vm, and im almost there, api loaded etc., but molybot is only responding "assisstant" in the chat
Which docs did you follow? OR's one?
https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/guides/openclaw-integration
There's the openclaw docs, then there's the openrouter's doc on openclaw
I see...
Check this docs out from openrouter
will do, cheers
i have my gateway token. where should i put it in the webui?
There should be a place for it in one of the tabs, it will say gateway api token
explore i suppose?
thanks tom
Oh
thanks also lol
what about making my discord bot work. kinda confusing lol
Yeah I was also, it wasn't sarcasm
oh man...i am tired
You gotta open a few permissions for it
i was actually thanking you, for real
i appreciate ithaha!
check the docs!
Hello, is it possible to execute openclaw on termux?
no luck unfortunately. openclaw onboard --auth-choice apiKey --token-provider openrouter --token "$OPENROUTER_API_KEY" just starts the wizard, following it doesn't solve it. Did all the manual options, I added env {} section with the key + export of the key when starting the gateway, no luck.
Any idea on what else it could be?
What was the error again? Perhaps we gotta follow it closer
I did the steps, also changing the name of clawdbot to openclaw, and I got a permission denied error
Hmm.. you might need to chmod
HTTP 401: User not found. in telegram
Nothing in logs other than 04:53:32 [telegram] autoSelectFamily=false (default-node22) 04:54:54 [openclaw] Non-fatal unhandled rejection (continuing): TypeError: fetch failed at node:internal/deps/undici/undici:14902:13 at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5) 04:58:14 [openclaw] Non-fatal unhandled rejection (continuing): TypeError: fetch failed at node:internal/deps/undici/undici:14902:13 at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5)
You did
termux-setup-storage right? (careful, it deletes all stray files)
I did it before, do I need to do it again?
Im not getting any errors but my bit stopped responding hours ago and i can get it to respond model —probe says ok everything looks good just no responses
chmod -R 700 /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw
perhaps this
Hmm.. one sec
Hi All - hope you are doing well. I got everything up and running in 8 hours, i love the openclaw tui very cool. One question I had is I connected through OAuth to OpenAI and even purchased the 8.00 plan, but it says I have 0/400000 tokens remaining, so I can't really get it moving. Do I just wait until 0:00UTC for it to reset, or is there something I"m doing wrong that it thinks it consumed all my OpenAI ticks? Thanks for any pointers glad to join this kick ass cool community
Same, the error its on the tmp/openclaw folder
It could be you running out of model quota, check!
Ah.. tmp is usually locked off...
You have to give it the key generated from boss bot and put it in the config files, then you need to run the command to authrize the device
If i hit the api through a curl it responds normally with my key
interesting
that's already done as I can talk to it via telegram.
no idea..
Whats the method to send an error string on the syntax?
Like this
not sure I follow?
You can try proot? termux-chroot?
The grey background, so it doesnt look bad, and possible breaking any rule
Actually, on termux, what was the issue in the first place
It was the clipboard issue
does anyone who has session memory show that their sessions are indexed??
yeah the clipboard should be fine...
i mean, it shouldn't complain about permissions
And yeah, i followed the steps and the next error is the permission denied on the tmp folder of openclaw
Oh wait, it says mkdir /tmp/openclaw
So i should do sudo openclaw?
if you can
It just sent a message a repeat of a older message so it sent something that something at least
Well my phone isnt rooted
yeah i thought so...
So my options are limited?
Try proot
Is there a channel for day 0 users? Folks who have zero context? I want to get started but have zero idea what I'm doing
pkg install proot
termux-chroot
I tried to run on powershell but I keep getting this error node.exe : npm error code ENOENT

here you go
https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/getting-started
Let me explain how day zero I am
Goal: go from zero → first working chat (with sane defaults) as quickly as possible.
Fastest chat: open the Control UI (no channel setup needed). Run openclaw dashboard and chat in the browser, or open http://127.0.0.1:18789/ on the gateway host. Docs: Dashboard and Control UI.
This says open the control UI (where is the control UI) hahahaah
??
@strong bramble, use #1459642797895319552 for help. The fastest way to get your problem solved is to follow the instructions here: https://docs.openclaw.ai/help/faq#im-stuck-whats-the-fastest-way-to-get-unstuck
this seems to be an issue with git / npm / nodejs, make sure you got proper updates
The browser link refuses to open. That keeps thowoing an erorr
Gotcha, I'll try the help thing and see if helps with the getting proper updates because the instructions themselves aren't quite clear to me
Go to help yeah
Thanks @crimson steeple
It now runs man, thx
why are the one liners not working
in what way?
So many people are getting that, whats your nodejs version?
Anyone else having this issue when asking to setup a cron job:
2026-01-31T05:12:47.401Z [tools] cron failed: invalid cron.add params: must have required property 'name'; must have required property 'schedule'; must have required property 'sessionTarget'; must have required property 'payload'
You have to ask the bot to fix their own understanding of cron
I sent it this error log and it still couldn’t get it right
@crimson steeple thanks for the help. FWIW, I've just done a fresh install with bare minimum, it works now.
`### Cron Jobs
- Use
crontool to manage scheduled tasks. - sessionTarget: Use
mainto target the human chat. - payload.kind: Use
systemEventfor reminders or status checks. - schedule.expr: Use standard cron expressions (e.g.,
*/1 * * * *for every minute). - Update:
sessionTargetmust match allowed constants (usuallymainfor user-facing agents).`
Was literally just working but now it wont respond at all
I had same error but it works fine in WSL Ubuntu
First thing to do is to check if your quota has been reached
How do I check that?
what api are you using
im no wizard
Try this instead?
npm install -g moltbot@latest
Google Gemini
Gemini CLI? Antigravity? Which?
I got this
Error: Gateway service install not supported on android
don't use gateway service install, just do gateway service run
just knabbed a Gemini API key on the free tier and selected 2.5 flash lmao I'm not technical enough on AI to know enough about what I'm doing but I've gotten somewhere before this happened ig
You can check on google ai page to see if you're out of quota, check with /status and also openclaw logs --follow
How do i run it? It is the onboard thing that isnt suported?
It's just the end of onboard, you run it by running openclaw gateway run
sorry, no service

did update too but i cant openclaw lobster
Did the install command run? If so, try openclaw onboard
Does anyone know how to transfer clawdbot to a new computer where it's called openclaw?
I can't seem to connect openrouter/tngtech/tng-r1t-chimera:free as the bot never answers the hatch message and I'm slowly going insane, any common mistakes?
A new computer? Are you reinstalling? Reinstalling might just do
Don't quite understand what it's showing me lmao
openclaw logs --follow
Yeah, but I don't wanna setup everything again
Type that in a new cli
That's what I did yes. But I'm not familiar with anything on the output
show it here
If you can copy over the config files and the soul files, it will work
I don't see a ~/openclaw folder is the issue on my new setup
Then reinstall it first
hey guys, i followed the onboard wizard with claude token and ive restarted the gateway but i've not been able to "wake up" the bot, only receiving "(no output)". i feel like there's something obvious im missing
What did you do to reinstall?
it ran but still not working this is rtrded i have lost all interest at this point 👍
@crimson steeple thanks for the antigravity fix much apreciated
I did a fresh install on my other pc
not all of it but i cba to smack that into a text file rn
Damn, is it really using gemini 2.5 flash? Not Gemini 3 flash? Might be the issue with the model
Could also be a config problem, try doing onboard again, reset your config
Hmm.. does "clawdbot" or "moltbot" work in CLI?
I dont have a problem running it, its a problem of no seeing the folder to copy my existing from the other pc to
@stable pumice i have a similar issue. openai api is in there. i have a token. but the chat is just not talking back to me. its connected...theres just like one small thing wrong it feeels like
just getting the word "assistant" shot back at me
What are you trying to copy over? The bot reads from two folders, ".openclaw" and just "openclaw"
Please guys, i cant make it to work, all my skills are blocked, something not working right. Can someone help? had the same issue?
One holds the soul, and another holds the configs
(and chatgpt is at the end of its usefulneess)
yeah, same here, whether i use the tui or webui same result
Yeah I don't see the one without the dot
In your folder? Where are you trying to find the one without the dot?
[openclaw] Failed to start CLI: Error: Cannot find module '@mariozechner/clipboard-linux-x64-gnu'
i'm hitting this after installing openclaw on WSL2 Ubuntu on Windows, any suggestions besides uninstall/reinstall?
how cna i pair telegram? Tried /start on the bot and nothing replies
If you're looking through CLIs, I think "." folders are hidden
Do you need to use WSL?
I've been playing with mine on just normal windows CLI, sometimes powershell
Don't have much issues with typical windows so far!
ok, i'll give that a shot then
Dunno about the clipboard module, that seems to be a major issue with a lot of people on various systems
It finally worked @crimson steeple, thx man, you are a life saver
I have my last question, to change the apis for the skills and the agent itself, I need to start the onboard and edit there right?
where can i learn i have basic understanding but not a swe or anything. i gonna read over some other threads here get baked and give it another go later but i appreciate
Yeah, though you gotta be sure to download brew as well
I did aswell
I've been struggling with antigravity all day, it's unbearable.
"This version of Antigravity is no longer supported. Please update to receive the latest features!"
Try searching over this discord and the docs
https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/getting-started
stone! any solution bro
reinstalled the gateway service and im using 3-flash-preview and it is working again
Yo
to fix anti-gravity saying you're out of date, go into
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\openclaw\node_modules\@mariozechner\pi-ai\dist\providers\google-gemini-cli.js Change around line 25, the line which says "User-Agent" under the "ANTIGRAVITY_HEADERS" headers to "User-Agent": "antigravity/1.15.8 darwin/arm64",
Truly the model!
mm i go thx!
bot is walking me through the discord bot setup too 🙂
Yeah, talk to the bot, it knows how to set itself up!
I was so happy with my progress the past few days, until I had to start a new session because my context window got full, then it became like absolute crap
Have you guys found a fix for this or a way to improve it?
Bro at this rate u are going to become an official community helper
aw thanks man
Tighten your prompts!
I've been asking my boy to improve their own prompts, you can go through each prompt file and give it loads of instructions
How would you suggest doing that?
Won't that just help you delay your context window getting full but when you start a new session it will still get worse?
great..
the best!
Here's my agents file
nvm new session and its fine lol
It needs something to begin with! If you don't like a thing, you should add it to the prompt to make it known.
Can you elaborate what you mean by saying it gets worse? In what way does it get worse?
Going through this now, one sec!
OpenClaw seems not to be detecting my model on logs?
05:36:32 error diagnostic {"subsystem":"diagnostic"} lane task error: lane=main durationMs=0 error="Error: Unknown model: openrouter/tngtech/deepseek-r1t2-chimera:free"

The api from ai studio is gemini cli? Or just gemini?
I changed my Node.js to 25. Is this a problem or should I revert it back to 24
Are you running deepseek locally?
should be cli i think? i might be wrong
does mac installation involve needing docker?
no thats open router
EBADF
shouldn't
Whats that?
openrouter is an api hub
No, I got the API key from OpenRouter. I tested the configuration on Janitor.ai and it worked fine.
Ok ill revert back to 24
Try running /models and /model in your dashboard / gateway
Shouldn't be a problem I mean
DOes it hand api tokens for free?
Certain models are free, but will be under major rate limiting
API keys are free
woah, great!
50 messages/day and needs to wait about a minute for a reply but yea
Ahh done deal lol it was giving error codes anyway
Alright type in /models openrouter
Do you got git installed?
Hi, just onboarded yesterday with provider github-copilot and telegram; it worked till TG bot it started to answer with "429 quota exceeded"; any ideas?
Im just really struggling using OpenRouter to communicate with the bot
Get 10$ in your account to turn that into a few hundreds
Yup
You ran out of quota, use another model, type /model and change, or run openclaw config and then hit Models
Models (openrouter) — showing 1-1 of 1 (page 1/1)
- openrouter/tngtech/deepseek-r1t2-chimera:free
Switch: /model <provider/model>
All: /models openrouter all
The only problem im having is that my bot isn't communicating with the dashboard or telegram
huh.. openrouter might have issues on their end then
@ocean tusk
Ive tried so many different things
I'd check their docs first, good luck!
Not sure what im missing
I did 😭
Can you elaborate?
Yeesh... might be an issue on their end
anyone know why my bot just doesn't work? using claude pro and gateway seems connected, but no response
Show us your logs! openclaw logs --follow
hit my rate limit on gemini. is there any better ai i can use with a far more usable rate limit for free?
stupid me; thanks
free is a hard ask
these days? 😔
all right. local. i have a good gpu
nothing seems too out of the ordinary but idk
2070
yeah local is nice, run one of those 8b models, they're actually decent these days
which one on the onboard could i use?
Can you run openclaw status --deep
I prompted it to have a self learning loop + proactive agent system where it constantly learns about me and builds things while I sleep
Those features are integrated with cron jobs and they're supposed to get better over time.
Ex:
- daily X scraper for my account watch list
- Intel scanner for top clawdbot skills and new things to try
- etc
The problem is when the context window gets full and every time we start a new session it literally just becomes worse.
All our progress almost feels lost because it wouldn't match up with the quality that it had in the start.
Hmm... I haven't done local models before, I cannot help there sorry..
You are better off checking their docs
https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/getting-started
i got thru it, that error was an issue with node 24
- our content machine gets worse cause it forgets to use my voice that we already configured in the md files
Things change very fast
Bro i tríed the openrouter api, and feels so mean, and the gemini one feels more welcoming lmao
Who knows?
Is there a way for me to talk to my bot on my computer in the windows powershell menu ?
openclaw tui
For some reason everytime I try and Configure it defaults to Openrouter/auto.. ive tried unchecking it then re running the system. I went into Openrouter and saw there was a "Routing" section to add multiple models and added the ones I was using there. Still getting errors. Ive tried changing the node from 24 to 25.. going back to 24 though cause caused errors. The Openclaw Doctor checks seemed fine. I feel like its an Openrouter issue 🤷♂️
Try reinstalling the service maybe
openclaw doctor might help too
ok thanks
On openclaw status the listed model does not start with "openrouter", do you think that could be related to the issue or is it just how it shows on this table?
Seems like a problem with openrouter
May just be...
Ah, here it is
Try this
applies to me as well?
Yeah, perhaps, try
Anyone know what might cause this and to reset it? I ran out of API tokens but I renewed it and this is what I get.
Try restarting the session
/reset
is there a terminal cmd for that?
Do that in your tui or dashboard
Or you can do openclaw gateway restart, that should clear the session?
Curious on your thoughts! @crimson steeple
Does your clawdbot also get worse when your context window gets full or after starting a new session
Kinda, it'll obviously have to search for your memories again, but you can get it back to speed
👀👀 I pray to the good Lord above this does the trick 🙏 Be right back lol
I recommend using qmd, install it
I already installed qmd by tobi
Does the agent has the ability to create commands on telegram?
got the skill?
ask it
I'm thinking of just having multiple bots for different purposes. It might be more effective
Do you know how to set up multiple call clawd bots in one Telegram account?
no idea
Use multiple gateways? @winged vessel
nvm. i got the 300 dollars worth of credits free trial on gemini. after it ends though im probably gonna use a local model like gpt oss or something
It said i should do it manually on botfather
Do you have any links where I can read up on this? Thanks
maybe in docs?
yet again, best docs is the bot
Yupp
There are two things which are relevant https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/multi-agent
multi agent & multi gateway
it's better at googling than you
Anyone who focuses on using Claude Code CLi for coding not vibe coding but also checking the code how does OpenClaw compare just for coding?
pretty sure openclaw knows it's own docs
Thank you. Have you set this up yourself?
depends on the prompt, don't like it? ask it
I just thought this channel is called users helping users so I can help someone instead of telling them to go ask bots constantly 🤣
Not yet but I’m going to do multi-gateways today to get my bot onto moltbook. That seems like the right amount of separation
What’s surprising no one is talking about this setup
Not the answer I was looking for
kinda a dumb question but when I close and open my bash commands with openclaw only work after I run the curl command with the install script again even if the gateway is open. What's the proper way to be able to use openclaw commands again?
By default? Claudecode is probably better
Is openclaw in your PATH?
that's probably it... thanks
how do I do that again?
I know, right? I wonder if anyone has posted a video of their set up on this
depends on your shell
But if it’s mac then it must be bash. Check .bashrc
By the way for a multi-gateway system, do I need to make a new Telegram account or can I just use one Telegram account and create different bots from Bot Father?
try npm prefix -g
I think you can use the same account (no reason why not) but I haven’t tried it. Try and tell us 🙂
Will do, thanks bro
ok, the model runs properly after I closed bash and started a new session... Now to fix the missing API key
although possibly my failed attempts exhausted the 50 free messages
nah my uses on the openrouter dashboard are sub-10
users help users
we've been asking about how to openclaw
but i ask
how to get money, im poor
@proud sigil i have the exact same http 401: user not found error did you resolve?
Hello! Struggling to get this setup. Used the install script but I cannot seem to have it use my Ollama LXC on my LAN. I cannot figure out where the settings would allow for Ollama to be used. Any suggestions? This has been a miserable 3 hours.
ive been trying to do the EXACT same thing for about as long
ive been using this https://docs.openclaw.ai/providers/ollama
Does anyone have the tweet that had instructions how to enable flushing with memory. And fully set it up?
Hi, I am trying to install a plugin but run into npm access token issues. I am not sure if openclaw plugins uses standard npm paths (@openclaw/line or openclaw/line on npm) but the package wouldn't exist there either. In the docs it does on github I found no issues related to the package being removed, and openclaw plugins list lists it too. Could it be because it is running npm but I installed via pnpm?
```bash
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/line

Hi, someone has encountered the problem of working with kilov skills are blocked and it is impossible to access them. I've tried different diploma options and connecting to the project doesn't help.
Hi everyone — does anyone have OpenClaw deployed on a cloud server? I’ve got it running and Telegram messaging works fine, but I can’t access the web UI from outside. Any idea what configuration might be missing?
I would guess the web UI is only on a local interface, youll probably have to ssh and forward the right port
has anyone let this run wild on their pc no vps no protection
anyone get trouble with clawdhub login?
I successfully got cli token, but it returns Unauthorized error
i was gonna turn over this laptop to openclaw for the lulz, but shiz wont work
I suspect it’s only accessible locally — but I’m not sure how to fix that. Are there any tutorials, or could you suggest key prompt I should use to ask the right questions to AI?
sorry! I want just to ask, im using codex as main LLM for my bot, no issues, awesome with codex pro. But some times for coding, codex just stuck with very complex issues. So, I have in the same machine Claude Max, and ask him to ask claude using CLI when have problems. Good so far. But, just asking, im missing something here? Can I still being banned from Claude?
loopback should be a lil more safe
but protect yourself
something like
ssh -N -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 user@removevpsIP
then point your browser at localhost:18789
has anyone got this working with a really small local model like a mistral:7b or similar?
trying to do that. ollamas on a different box, but same idea. cant even do a basic chat
yep - same issue - not a single response back....got some timeouts after 600s
not sure where to find the error logs 🙁
any linux distro that is better for running openclaw?
websession has a logs tab at the bottom.....somewhat useful
...heavy on the somewhat :/
evolving fast though...wip..i guess
does this look ok -

Could use a reverse proxy like Traefik and Mkcert (for https) and pihole or whatever to give a local dns entry, e.g. I can access mine at https://openclaw.panic on my local network
from any machine, just have to openclaw devices approve <whatever that device is>
heya, im new to running ai and stuff, i was wondering if i could run a local ai on my pc and let openclaw use it instead of using an api?
Ive been looking for answers for a good hour and two trying to find answers with no luck 
Any IT Tech professionals here? I'd like to hear your opionion on the state of the rebrand exercise. Uninstalled Clawd/Molt a few days ago and are waiting for the full rebrand, etc to be finalized, so command structure, docs, and everything is aligned after the rebrand. My last install had docs/guides saying the command was 'moltbot' while they still were 'clawdbot' in terminal. How aligned is the product now?
If you want consistent results I would use one of the heavy hitters & their api, local models are slow and heavy on resources
Gemini 3 Flash is super fast and consistent (and cheap as hell)
ive heard people have gotten it working, but theres a couple folks in here still tryin. https://docs.openclaw.ai/providers/ollama
I tried it but i kinda cant afford a google api, i tried the free one and it got limited out of nowhere >.>
I tried ollama but i didnt notice there was a guide for it for some reason, ill give it a try rn
https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/model-providers covers some other models too
If you ran the new installer for openclaw it automatically migrates everything to openclaw from moltbot/clawdbot
Yeah... I'd have to install everything from scratch?
I didnt mean for that to be a question 🙂
If you deleted everything, I guess so, if you still had old moltbot/clawdbot it would just migrate it automatically for you to the new openclaw etc.
ah
Ive been getting this the whole time, even following the guide
But deepseek isnt an anthropic model?
You're gonna probably end up on one of the ollama/llama3.3 models
depending on system specs
I have an rtx 4070 ti super and 32 gigs of ram
soo erm
i was going to try the ministral-3:8b & see what happenes
trying to use local models usually hits context window issues bfore anything. using roocode could go for a little while befor elosing its mind
anybody try lm studio over ollama?
Hey I want to setup kimi 2.5 but it says always 163% tokens used
basically the same thing at the end of the day. lmstudio does have a great UI\
hi, does this bot support cursor cli? how do i add i add it? any small guide would help, so i can use it in place of codex or gemini cli
i have cursor subscription so i want to take advantage of the opus 4.5 in there
ill give it a try rn
I am getting errors sayig there is no available auth profile for openai-codex, but my usage shows I should be good. Anyone else get this ever?
Anyone else getting certificate warnings from openclaw.ai website?
Ahh well.. fuck it. Will just VPN around my ISP provider 🙂
i hope so
where can i change my api key
I’m using the free Gemini test
What the hell
It just texted my phone number a code
Bro how does it know my phone number
looks like your using telegram?
hey anyone able to help with this :- How do you get consistent learning that persists and actually gets applied?- Tried SOUL.md protocols. Bootstrap files are passive context. Claude ignores unless explicitly invoked.
Tried hook injection. Better compliance. Still inconsistent.
Tried cron jobs for daily lesson extraction. Runs fine. Agent still doesn't recognize patterns across sessions.
Root issue: LLMs are stateless. Files are text, not code. No persistent protocol. Every message starts fresh.
When people claim self-learning agents, what's actually happening?
usually evolving context scraped from files or stuffed in a semantic db for some kind of rag
at the end of the day your model is still limited by it's contextwidth no matter how much you want it to remember
Do you scrape logs on a schedule and upsert to a vector DB? How does the agent know when to query it? And once it retrieves something, how do you get it to actually apply it vs ignore it like any other context?
Yeah but it sent me a 6 letter code on my phone number
Shouldn’t it be 8 letters to my telegram so I can give it the prompt to approve my device
idk. if your hooking it up to telegram it might have access to tht info
Yeah
- i scrape mygoogle gemini studio gemini logs and put them in the memory folder
- the memories get converted to .md and vectorized/embedded autoamtically by calwd
- this onyl happens when i ask it to use it's memory_search
- you just ask to search for something and its just running a tool
Just so weird
like i have 100 million tokens in memory_saerch bc there's no way i can fit that into any model to just remember tha tmuch info
So memory_search is manual. How do you get the agent to actually call it without being told? That's where I'm stuck. Hook injection to force "search memory before acting" still gets ignored half the time.
yeah it's manual so i usually say hey can you use memory_search to look for so and so
like i use that keyword and it remembers and it knows but im sure if you wanna be more natural about it you can like drop a hint of what to associate it to in agents.md
"if i say search automatically assume i mean memory_search"
bc internally it could be web_search and whatever other searches like my clawdbot has web search enabled + memory search + a custom news search so it's like which one?
in fact i have 2x memory searches
what the ai 'knows' all depends on the automation wrapped around the llm. openclaw seems to cover a lot of interesting bases
guys will it keep running if i log into another user on same machine? e.g. kids want to play minecraft on another account
since the name change to openclaw. my ollama bot stopped working
This will modify your Clawdbot configuration:
/home/brandon/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json
Backups will be saved to /tmp/ollama-backups/
Proceed? (y/n) yes
Added glm-4.7:cloud to Clawdbot
Launch Clawdbot now? (y/n) yes
Launching Clawdbot with glm-4.7:cloud...
Error: clawdbot is not installed, install from https://docs.clawd.bot
Makes sense for disambiguation. Three search tools, one keyword.
But that's read. What about write? Getting it to log learnings without being told each time. Any trigger pattern that actually works?
Is it possible to get the web UI to show it's reasoning or the "thinking" ?
- probably, it gets installed as a servece
- i would highly recommend not letting it run on a computer you dont want destryed
thanks. well im planning to create a new user for it, so it wont have access to my stuff if thats what you mean, or do you mean the hardware?
THIS IS THE OPENROUTER FIX! Thank you so much!! It worked 🙏🙏🙏
its the system level access that Im concerned about. Unless theres a solid review of the permissions at play, I would have it on a separate system, or in a vm
yeah just say save this to your memory and it knows what folder and what format
like sometimes ill go on a long design session before i start coding and right after we agree on how it should work ill be like save that design idea into your memory and then we start coding it
earlier today i was dropping it pics on whatsapp and it can see the filename of the files dropped so i was having it save the filenames into it's memory associated with what each picture is about so i can do something about them later
another semi-random question, does this have multi-agent capabilities, like can it work on multiple tasks at the same time, I guess yeah? e.g. multiple people ask it to do something
ive tried sub-agents a few times but i dont know i can't get the hang of it yet, there's a lot to do and explore so there's sitll parts i haven't messed with, in my experienced it wasn't smooth like i felt liky my agent kept handing off tasks and then the sub agent wasn't notifying my agent or something so it's like do i have to follow up and ask what happened to that task? i dont get it
I'm "trying" to get OC setup for my digital twin. Still struggling with something simple: check my AWS workmail every 10 seconds.. reply and process emails via himalaya skill.. if I use heartbeat, I keep seeing heartbeat updates in my default chat (currently tunneling to the gateway chat at 18789).
I want to use email as the primary control ux and later whatsapp and x DMs
I haven't setup x DM yet - (mayurdotai is the twin). I assume most of you are using the x api? Or is there an mcp/skill I should use instead?
Email unlocks everything else I assume - github, x, facebook, etc.
I'm at the point where I either contrib to the project and help build a better config system, or fork and build my own.
Thx!
What's the best local/free solution for a model to use?
Ollama isn't working anymore because of the rename on OpenClaw it can't detect it anymore because it's not called clawdbot/moltbot.
LM studio is nice but I can't get it to install properly.
Does hugging face or anything like that work?
Hi folks, good morning , quick question is it possible to change clawdbot embedding model ? Seems like I ran out of limit . I have local embedding model in ollama that would like to use
Hi, I only have experience with things like SillyTavern, OpenWebUI, and Letta. Where would I configure system instructions or a system card, or a persona prompt for my agent?
i think OpenRouter still has free Kimi
idk what the rate limiting is tho
Did you fix it?
So I just started. I installed from git, then I read the part about having claude help me with the install, so I opened claude, and boy oh boy, claude did not like what openclaw did. It threw warning after warning. It doesn't like that my Anthropic Claude token is stored in plaintext. It hates that openclaw is an unverified source, and apparently, when I cut and pasted a prompt I had written for claude, I accidentally included an artifiact and Claude thought that it was an xml injection script. So Claude Code rn hates openclaw. Finally, there seems to be something wrong with the gateway as it's crashing repeatedly as the expected path /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/openclaw/ doesn't exist.
So my questions are (1) Why are oauth tokens stored in plaintext? (2) how do I verify the openclaw domain for claude in terms of safety and security, and (3) Should I follow Claude's persistent recommendations that I (A) revoke my Anthropic token, before (B) letting it clean up my openclaw files and move forward?
i just reinstalled clawdbot and it is offline how do i start it up i have already went through the onboarding
Claude won't even fetch openclaw documentation as "fetching from unverified sources is a vector for prompt injection."
How do you update it to be renamed to OpenClaw?
anyone else having issues with subagents?
My bot seems completely unable to use them
also having issues with telegram slash commands... they dont work for changing the models (it looks like it changed in /status, but the actual bot didnt change)
and sometimes the slash commands crash the bot.
wondering if anyone has experienced this and knows a fix
Run the new installation script. It will detect the old install and simply update it, Afterwards you can have your agent check the workspace for any Remaining issues.
I was using gemini-flash-2.5 I hit my limits so I was trying to switch to Gemma, but it is not picking it. How do I restart the whole thing so it picks the new model?
You can change the model by running /model
see what model is allowed by typing /models
I've got openclaw set up in a Docker container and the bot is working with Discord, but in the OpenClaw control panel, all of the Config settings pages have this error message - not sure if I've got something set up wrong. Any ideas?
that's not an error
Hey everyone! I’ve been running Clawdbot for a while, and I’ve spent the last 4 hours trying to migrate to the new OpenClaw (v2026.1.29). I need some advice on the safest way to "fresh start" my config without losing my bot's personality.
Current Situation:
System: Ubuntu, recently updated from clawdbot to openclaw@latest via the official install script.
Service: Migrated legacy clawdbot-gateway to the new openclaw-gateway.service.
The Issue: I’m getting ENOENT errors when trying /tts. It seems like the ElevenLabs API key and voice settings didn't migrate cleanly into the new ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.
The Error: Media failed: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/tmp/tts-xxx/voice-xxx.mp3'.
My Question:
I want to run openclaw onboard --install-daemon to re-enter my API keys (Gemini, ElevenLabs) and properly link WhatsApp again.
Is it 100% safe to run onboard without losing my soul.md, identity.md, and memory.md files in ~/.openclaw/workspace/?
I'm terrified of wiping the bot's "soul" and memory. Should I just manually edit the JSON, or is onboard the "OpenClaw Standard" way to repair a broken config during this migration?
What I've tried:
Cleaned up legacy systemd units.
Verified openclaw doctor (shows ElevenLabs as unconfigured).
or just normal re-configure fix it? Since right now the bot WhatsApp is sending unplayable audio file for every I sent, even /new session nothing! Even /compact command on WhatsApp it sends unplayable audio
Any advice from the experts would be amazing! 🦞
Why don't you backup those files
It's red like an error 😅 , and I can't use the forms version of any of the configs pages.
hmm.. safest thing is possibly running openclaw doctor
Indeed if you want a fresh install, save your openclaw folder, or wherever your SOUL.md is
How I do that on VPS? cp -r ~/.openclaw/workspace ~/openclaw_backup
or what's the right way or command?
try googling it, i forgot too 💀
Ask OpenClaw! It can def do it
also no shame in asking the bot to do it
The bot migrated to openclaw for me perfectly, even made a tidy backup
Its broken right now on WhatsApp. Sending broken audio files for every message I send
can you ask it to stop?
what about /restart
hi guys using vps here is there an easier and faster way to find skills or just do find skills myself and install it through the terminal vps to be faster
Same sended audio file
/reset might help
Will delete its memory?
I'd say just doing clawdhub skill installing is good enough
Long term? no, but it restarts the current session
Clears the context
How will that solve this? Isnt that unrelated
It's possibly sending you only audio because you asked it to before, right?
If not, you might need to reset its memory
Though best to try to reset the config
I want do in a way that doesn't reset memory or soul or identity.md
Config reset best way than or just relink WhatsApp?
Run openclaw onboard again, shouldn't reset the soul
or try openclaw doctor
Has anyone used OpenClaw on Discord itself?
Didn't work
Trying to onboard now. And is there way to back memory or soul and identity before I do it? On VPS?
Hopefully onboard fixes it.

Is it normal that for few exchanged messages to exceed 1M in context input? I got rate limited instantly??
How much is yours context input/output average per day
I'm running into two main issues with my OpenClaw setup. First, the process frequently crashes, requiring a manual restart via clawdbot gateway. Second, I’m seeing inconsistent behavior with the bot's personality. After installing a new skill, the bot changed its writing style entirely, but upon restarting the gateway, it reverted to an old
I'd write the skills yourself, or just feed the skill page itself to your bot, it can replicate it, don't copy it in wholesale
how do i change the heartbeat message. i tried from AGENTS.md but it doesn't seem to update
That should be fine to update, why isn't it? Ask your bot about it yet?
yeah but look this is deep, i talked to it for the first time yesterday, it was pretty bad i went through onboarding etc again got a new api key too, and got a fresh start was good until it crashed after 30 mins (this is annoying too) now to relauch it apparenly ive to use the gateway command so i do, it relaunches but it isint the same anymore, meaning its using its old persoanlity if you get what i mean.
how do i fix the crashing lol
Were there logs? There's so many reasons it could've crashed
openclaw logs --follow
Any of yall used ollama instead of an api?
I've asked before but now i feel completely lost if anyone could help 
i did
can i dm you?
i mean im no help but i did get it running
Gosh I'm struggling too, clawdbot, moltbot, now openclaw, I've had the binary go missing a few times during restarts and having issues that its not saving or updating .md files for some reason.
That can't be it, binaries can't just poof
Yo I want to try it too, I tried free gemini limits. Exhausted and now trying to switch to openrouter's gemma 27B which is supposedly free, but it just won't pick it. SO I have unintsalled and restarting things from scratch, Lemme know if you succeed with ollama though
Hey, we can try it together if you want
i used kimis model
its free for 7 days
works well althouh it asks for ur billing and card info, but u can just cancel it right after
nah, I don't have cards on me, so want to try absolutely free possible hacks
ollama is one, and whatever place is handing APIs for free
I just want to play with it, so performance or accuracy doesn't matter to me rn
well u can run it locally but thats if you have a good spec pc
I am running on macbook pro 16GB ram
Whats the cheapest access to good LLM models for OpenClaw? What are people using? Because I find Anthropic's too expensive.
Dear OpenClaw Developer,
I hope you are doing well.
First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for creating OpenClaw. I have been using it as my primary personal assistant for a while now—handling everything from note-taking and task reminders to fetching news. It has become an incredibly useful tool in my daily workflow. 🌟
However, I am currently facing a persistent issue regarding the Cron functionality and Telegram notifications:
The Issue: I cannot successfully set up task reminders. Even when a reminder appears to be set, it fails to send a notification to my Telegram when the time comes.
Errors encountered: Often, OpenClaw reports a "Gateway Timeout" error, suggesting it fails to communicate with the gateway when processing reminder tasks.
My Environment:
I am running OpenClaw on a Debian Virtual Machine (VM).
I am using Telegram as the primary interface.
Troubleshooting done: I have tried deleting and reinstalling the entire VM multiple times to ensure a clean slate, but the Cron issue persists every single time.
I really love this project and want to rely on it for my daily tasks. Could you please look into this or suggest a way to fix the communication between the assistant and the gateway/cron service?
Looking forward to hearing from you. Keep up the great work!
Best regards,

Hi fellas. I'm getting the "This version of antigravity is no longer supported..." error. I saw in general that it was fixed but a fresh reinstall still gives me this. Any advice? (Running on a windows system btw)
just wondering, if i wanna develop my openclaw flows and logic, will it be smart to do it using the openclaw itself ? or working on the files on github with ci/cd just like when working on development app ?
HELP NEEDED
Hi Y'all -- I’m on my 5th Openclaw install - what am I doing wrong?
- install OC ✅
- put in moonshot ai keys ✅
- put in open ai keys ✅
- setup done, gateway online, everything fine ✅
- BUT, there was a problem — I messaged an image via whatsapp. My bot did NOT understand the image. It said there is no OpenAI token.* So I gave it an openrouter token with the instruction: “Use it for audio / video. NOT for primary model”. And that’s it… everything breaks. It writes it into the config and breaks everything.
Looking for suggestions on a) how to fix it and b) how to ensure this does not happen
WHENEVER I’ve given OC an model keys for something, it mucks it all up.
*also, I DID give it an openai key at the beginning... don't know what happened to that.
HEELP!... I just installed OpenClaw on Ubuntu.. brand new.
After I installed it, it says (no output) in the TUI..
Then I saw in #1459642797895319552 that someone wrote, "Just quit and do a 'openclaw tui' to restart
Model issue possible
please may i have help installing openclaw? i am potato
Are you still on moltbot or clawdbot
Try those instead of openclaw
I literally JUST started from scratch on a new machine
Try it either way
How did you install it? What command?
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
I can't even run the uninstall command recommended, because 'openclaw' doesn't exist?
weird
Didn't have these issues on my Mac Mini
this is an ubuntu latop
Try running npm prefix -g
echo 'export PATH="$(npm prefix -g)/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
anyone have pointers on setting up OpenClaw on goog antigravity?
openclaw: command not found
oops forgot to refresh the shell
run
source ~/.bashrc
Bingo
I did that, and the echo command after it
now it works
you da man, Stoneman! 🙂
Damn... out of limit on my gemini API.. hrmm
whats the most cost effective and cheap way to run it
Wonder what model I should swithc to
switch to**
Run a local model, check #old-models
Then I need to figure out how to connect to ollama on my Mac Mini from my Ubunty laptop
hrmmm
I'll get to work.
Im sure chatGPT can help with that
hehe
if you find the answer please let me know :p
Have people had much success giving openclaw a personality? Like, can I use a chatbot from chub.ai or JanitorAI, and adding the character description into the agent’s system prompt?
Openclaw browser setup has me confused. I am running it on a VPS (linode) and dont want to install the mac node on my mac. What are my options?
I have a win 8.1 laptop 16gigs and visual studio 2019 can this AI help me build a multi user dungeon
Sure thing
Genuinely ask it yeah
It will work
I'm suddenly getting the error: [agent/embedded] Profile anthropic:default hit Cloud Code Assist format error. Tool calls will be sanitized on retry.
HAAALP!
How do I fix a broken config? Is there a versioning system? Is there a way to revert?
Plop, how i patch that pls ?
anyone get an error like this? the only time i see it when using search in here is from @swift quail having the same error lol. my bot just decided to kill itself out of nowhere and i got that error mid convo

I tried to ask Grok / Gemini many time to fix, but it can not guide correct way, it always ask me to run "openclaw agents add main"
But still stuck here.
If anyone can help, it is very preciate
If you do, do it over API based billing, the pro abbonement is a joke limitwise
is there an android app available, to use as a node? I need it to setup "talk" mode - https://docs.openclaw.ai/nodes/talk but without the mac
Same here
It's a good choice but do not forget to add a rate limit
I've sent you a friend request. Would love to talk privately if that is okay
As this is something I am still learning. Thank you
Definetly yeah xD
You can easily bill 50$ + in one week if you're not careful especially with opus
Otherwise the credits will be used like a leaking dam turning it into a waterfall
But I think especially character wise as well as just from the problem solving, there is no better product than Anthropic rn
True
hi, any suggestion to workaround?
Gemini is decent, if you wanna bare a subscription
Does it have something l ike claude code?
Antigravity counts I suppose?
I am still trying to figure it out
Is qwen2.5:3b-instruct too stupid for openclawd? I am using it with 4 cores and 8 gb ram And the result is useless, I can't interpret it what it should be a mistake or a result
Will any linux version work for OpenClaw?
I got an old Lenovo M93p sitting around doing nothing. Thinking of installing linux on it and then hosting OpenClaw on it.
Any distro better than others?
check updates or reninstall gateway
use tailscale
reinstall gateway -- this did not work
check updates -- what would this do?
if you have any clue, pls share with me, I opened a topic here (https://discord.com/channels/1456350064065904867/1467116036628414646)
Sure if you find a clue pls share
I did it on an old desktop no issues
256gb hdd
Yeah, but any specific distro for linux?
Or a standard ubuntu with GUI is fine?
I went with ubuntu 24
anyone know how to bypass the 300b model limit when running local only models?
its a bit of a challenge to run models that big and at required speeds, on local only hardware... basically nobody can do this.
Okay, and you hit no limitations in terms of usage? I see people using it mainly with MacOS, just wanted to be sure that a standard ubuntu is fine as well
Nope just API limits
No issues so far
Awesome, thanks for the help 😄
I try to wrap my head around how a good software development workflow with OpenClaw looks like. I have a GitHub Copilot Pro subscription, so I use that for OpenClaw models. Additionally I tried to setup the GitHub Copilot CLI and let OpenClaw use the non-interactive CLI approach. But it seems to not work really well, it fires one prompt and then stops doing anything (at least when not using the most expensive models). There is no real iteration.
Is using the GitHub Copilot CLI or similar tools like Claude Code maybe not even the best approach for OpenClaw? Would OpenClaw be able to do software development better on its own without external AI assistants?
Would love to get some feedback 🙂
Asking it to improve genuinely works, this sounds like something you prompt
I've been using Gemini 3 flash, asking it for various development questions, has not failed me yet
openclaw onboard --install-daemon and clawbot doctor use both commands
Could someone DM me the answer to this. Configuring Web Search, Have registered at Brave, got the API key, applied it to the bot, done a gateway restart, no errors in the logs but it refuses to search the web and just gives me training data from the bot. For example according to "Search the web for the current date" it responds with "Today is October 26, 2023"
But did you do this with GitHub Copilot CLI or did you ask OpenClaw to do the development work itself?
Everything on openclaw
i've at times changed stuff in the code and then it wouldn't take effect until i did a full reboot... not sure exactly why...
Hey all,
I have a chatgpt pro subscription, will it use that of i choose the oath option over the api option during setup and pretty much do the same thing? I currently have it set up on api.
My minimax, MacBook M1 Pro hosted openclaw is incapable of using a browser apparently.
Either it’s an idiot or I am
Ok, thanks! Will try that next. Maybe it does not need something like GitHub Copilot CLI / Claude Code at all
I am getting this message on my terminal - Invalid config at /home/ubuntu/.openclaw/openclaw.json:\n- gateway.bind: Invalid input. Anyone, please help?
you will need a 300b or larger model before browsing is allowed by the openclaw framework
Hello guys i'm an code beginner, i'm trying to setup clawdbot on a docker on a vps , and i'm trying to solve some gateway problem, for sure nothing too hard for a sherpa, DM if you want to help a frenchy baguette thx in advance !
You can ask here!
You need to run openclaw doctor
Guess I’ll have to give it programmatic access to its own calendar (which has read to mine) then
Oh perfect error 1008 in the UI, trying to acces via public IP
its one of the issues, i've been running into... when trying to run local models... because i can't even give it file access to the vm it lives on for the exact same 300b minimum limit... which is so annoying
Can I have more information? Try running openclaw logs --follow
I’m not even running a local model, it has full access to its own laptop, more than enough usage of the API available but he jut seems like an idiot 😂
It’s been able to tweet and access a calendar IF the OpenClaw Browser Relay is up, but that seems to drop constantly

Alright, mate. Let me try agian
I just hit the token limit for Claude , can I swap to use openai?
type openclaw config if you wanna change models
I did , still get the http 429 rate limit error

@crimson steeple : Hrmm.. when I was working on setting up telegram.. I got an openclaw.json error that I had to fix with the doctor.. now I asked it to set up tailscale.. and it does the same:
-> Invalid config at /home/melsen/.openclaw/openclaw.json:\n- gateway.bind: Invalid input
Do you know what the root cause for that coul dbe?
Hi everyone. I've encountered a problem. My bot keeps replying to my messages with old replies. It's not processing my request properly. I chatted with it this morning about something, and two hours later I asked what the weather was like outside, but it keeps sending me messages from the old thread.
And I'm not cluttering him with messages or topics.
no idea
oki
I'm having a few problems with it myself
trying to do it manually according to the guide and get this:
~$ openclaw gateway tailscale on
Invalid config at /home/melsen/.openclaw/openclaw.json:\n- gateway.bind: Invalid input
error: too many arguments for 'gateway'. Expected 0 arguments but got 2.
odd
@terse lotus Sorry just to clarify, you're saying that web search wont work unless the model is a 300 billion parameter model? And yes that's exactly what I'm doing, running a local model on LMStudio and openclaw in a proxmox ubuntu virtual server. Is this new do you know? I swear i configured it a few days ago when it was clawdbot and it worked? I also see there is some chatter about Brave API usage , in that their terms of use prohibit the use of results for inference engines.
Maybe this help
doesn't matter if its a local model or not... it matters how many billions of parameters it has....
a rule of thumb is higher parameters, the smarter it gets.... when i check on ollama the minimax m2 is like 230b
i think there latest might be larger the minimax m1 is 456b
not sure which you are running, but it might certainly cause issues... best to run a model you know works well, because agentic frameworks can be very sensitive to model outputs.
Ah.. I don't know how to help with tailscale sorry
@crimson steeple - can I uninstall and re-install it again>?
is it real that using claude code sub in openclaw would get my claude account banned?
you can
its against their terms of service to use claude code sub, but hasn't been enforced a lot until recently, so far as i understand...
agentic frameworks burn a lot of tokens
Hi guys.
I hope your all well.
I had configured to fallback into local llm if my ChatGPT OAuth ever failed/throttled/rejected. (I thought I had)
But I’m presented with the attached usage block and now the failsafe is not triggering. Any ideas how I can fix this?
Any tip arround the rate limit ?
spend more money 😄
Can't I use open ai?
hlm plan is cool with me and never hit limit with me so far, just 6 dollar a month
glm*
Glm?
new Chinese competitor in the market.... bet they are just being nice still... 😄 they want to get more customers 😄
I have chatgbt pro, Claude pro and copilot pro
Can't I use them for Clawd ?
Or is it hardwired to use Claude as a base ?
chatgpt and copilot pro can be used yes
How
avoid claude or you will get banned
./model did not help
i set up Openclaw in my vps. have opened up a chat and have literally been looking at this for 30 minutes. ive set up my LLM api and telegram. nothing appears to be working. is Openclaw down?
Hey everyone,
My agent is having a weird issue with its browser tool. I asked it to look something up, but it's trying to use the Chrome extension relay, which I don't have set up.
My agent did some great troubleshooting and found the fix: it just needs to change a setting in the config to tell the browser to use its built-in clawd profile by default.
Here's where we're stuck: every time the agent tries to save this new setting, it gets a generic invalid config error. We've tried a full gateway restart and a couple of different ways for the agent to apply the change, but no luck.
Any ideas why the agent can't save this one setting? It feels like we're right at the finish line.
Where can I find a cheap VPS setup guide on here?
Hello everyone, my bot is starting to malfunction. After just a couple of messages, it stops understanding the context. It responds to new questions with old topics. It can take several hours, but if I ask a question about the weather, it will respond with an old topic. I am not overloading it; I am only asking a couple of questions. Can anyone help? This started after yesterday's reinstallation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaWSPZoPX34
best guide for setup i found so far. 30min and you have working setup + claude ready to fix ANY issue with your clawd.
Hi, has anyone gotten this to work by listening on whatsapp groups and sending a summary on direct message?
I spent about few hours trying to get ollama to get to work on my mini-pc and all the smaller models seem like they are not compatible. Anyone know of a good small ollama model that's light and does not tax mini-pc's ram or gpu? I am not expecting much in terms of the model's functionality, I just need something that can manage emails, manage files, run some scripts and maybe some light admin work. I don't need complex thinking or anything like that.
i use a 6 dollar a month one from interserver
pick a 4gb ram that's the 6 dollar one, idk how it will be on less ram than that tbh
The api token cost for this bot is so expensive, is there a cheaper option?
hello, i am having the same problem, how did you added the venice api key?
What are you using now?
Yea, it's ridiculous. I asked like two simple questions and it was l ike 50 cents.
I’m using claude opus 4.5
... that's like the most expensive model dude
Minimax is cheaper but marginally worse. Kimi is cheaper and a bit better than minimax. Opus is the most expensive by a long way, especially if you're using the API token and not an oauth subscription.
What is an oauth subscription. Is is like a monthly payment and unlimited usage?
Most companies that offer oauth subscription won't allow you to use it for openclaw anyways, so don't worry about it.
Yes, Claude Code Pro or Max. Not unlimited, but cheaper than using the API directly.
hello, any fellow friednly devs, that know about npm?
Could you please help quickly find, debug and tweak some config?
https://discord.com/channels/1456350064065904867/1467131082762617008
Yea, but you can get banned.
But mini max, is just like molt, it still requires an api, no? So token usage cost is the same
It's against their terms of service.There s chance you might get banned. But I haven't been after nearly a month of doing that. I suspect the people who get banned are doing other naughty things too.
Makes sense
