I finally have openclaw up and running, I have it dedicated to a system. I am curious, did manyof you run it as a regular user or root on the system
I no the answer is don't run it as root, but how many people are like mehhhhhh ... LOL
I have a Linux VM running a fresh install just for my bot
So there's nothing really it can do in it's box
right, I am doing the same thing, but it still would have root access to all its configs, API keys, etc...
So...silly question does anyone have a great multi-agent setup that I could speak to? Like...50 agents on the same system that all talk to each other
Trying to set one up and regularly hitting all sorts of scaling issues
LOL no but sounds expensive ..... LOL
it is. LOL
i am running on root but I do have tailscale and some other vpns running with a rigid anti prompt injection aswell
also allowlist on commands
so we're good
i am using some agents using antigravity (codex, claude code, gemini, kimi)
I hope they work on making openclaw use less tokens because I can't use it, it always reach limits of gemini3 -pro
I am trying to see if there is a cheaper LLM for doing easy stuff before it uses openrouter for harder task
I am done with this clawdbot thing lol
I like the setup I did with my bot but as soon as we get into something like configs and code, even if I tell it to spawn agent that don't use any context other than the task
Has anyone else had their bot create and push code to its own repo?
yea
I pay the $20 for Gemini i think it would still hit usage caps pretty quickly
lol From what I understand ifg you gfive him the freedom your little clawguy will do lots of stuff onnits own
use python for regular tasks, rather then using the agents quota all the time
I am not sure what I am gonna do with this first Agent might just let him go ham on Clawbook
Anyone tried just telling it to go make money and see what it does?
cd ..
I want to expermint of using it as a helper, add things to calendar, etc.... update our skylight calendar and task , etc...
if you didn't figure it out already, click the info-like icon to show thinking; it's possible it's making tool calls improperly and that's why it didn't respond
how do i completely uninstall Openclaw and all of its settings from mac? I severely messed up my configuration and NOTHING works no matter what I do. I installed in globally once and then as a user second. Everything is conflicting. It's a dumpster fire.
Please help.
everything should be in your npm directory and ~/.openclaw
i just updated from moltbot to openclaw and im getting this
[moltbot] Failed to start CLI: file:///Users/max/clawdbot/dist/agents/tools/image-tool.js:4

ask openclaw and it will tell you ......... LOL so will chatGPT
hello all, I am just now getting started with openclaw. I have it installed and have tried now twice with both open ai and claude to get it running using discord as a communication vessel, I start with the simple first question of "hello, what is the temperature today in miami" and it says rate limit reached for both - although its the first question I have asked.
I have api credits on both and billing is set up
@stoic shard worked for me to. Thanks. However I don’t think it’s the same model as k2.5 from moonshot API, definitely dumber
can someone test if my skill and onboarding works properly? https://clawdmap.vercel.app
woould be nice to know
if theres some issues with the reasoning on different models
Posted this earlier today about setting up Qwen3 + vLLM with OpenClaw
If anyone in the community has got tool calling working with Qwen3 (especially 4B or lower), I’d massively appreciate any tips or pointers on config settings 🙏
📰 My journey resurrecting Steve Jobs as an OpenClaw agent on my laptop
I spent a bunch of time over the last few days burning the midnight oil playing with @openclaw - the autonomous agentic AI sensation created by @steipete that is exciting and terrifying people in equal measure, and recognised as a game-changer by AI heavyweights such as @karpathy.
For full sovereignty over the AI agent, data and infra...
...and to avoid running up a huge API bill - I wanted to create an agent with an open model running locally on my personal GPU (NVIDIA RTX 3000 with 8GB VRAM) and chose to run Qwen/Qwen3-4B-AWQ which has 4 billion parameters, already quantized to deliver more bang for buck.
I chose vLLM for model serving since it gives a lot more control and outputs the OpenAI standard protocols for completions and responses, and it can be scaled to multi-GPU setups in future if required. I'm just running the official vLLM docker container build.
Here's the vLLM config I la…
how did you get the tool calling to post in tg?
I don't believe TG is the same kind of tool calling, it's more of a channel for all messages. The kinds of tool calling that aren't working for me are the ones called by the agents intelligently based on the inputs etc
Heyy, I just done the setup of openclaw with gemini and my gemini api key, but here am I, stuck on this :
anyone knows how to fix the assistant answering litteral nothingness ?
does anyone know why the dashboard link isn't working?
are you sure openclaw is running ?
you can run it by using
openclaw gateway --verbose
i just configured it, and it automatically opened as this
yeah , it doesn't run for unknown reason
just run openclaw gateway --verbose
in the cmd
and then go back on the page
should load
now it works, amazing thanks!
is that model actually proving reliable? I tried a few qwen3 and qwen2.5s over the past couple days and the only consistent thing was it NOT handling instructions right; at best it'd output a single sentence unrelated to the bootstrap script, but most of the time it just made improper tool calls that error out and never output a response
np
ended up switching to gemini-3-flash-preview just to see if it wasn't something i had misconfigured elsewhere, and that worked great (though I ran up $15 in a day...)
Has anyone been able to get this linked to gemini using the CLI with 0auth? I'm getting Access blocked: Authorization error trying to link this to my gemini pro
idk, I'm stuck on assistant answering nothing, i'm using gemini pro preview
I can't get it to onboard properly for gemini. sounds like you got through that how?
aside from the tool calling not working, it's running pretty well. i've also had good results with 2.5 in another projects which also include multi-agent collaboration via langchain
Tbh, I don't even know if my configuration is working as nothing is working on my side
Anyone able to get ollama to work?
nope, it either answer a json or nothing
Do i have to pay to get the Claude API?
you can have a free trial access
can't ask openclaw something if it isn't working.
how did you guys get your agents to be autonomous? it keeps going back to send me messagse
this happens with me, usually a daemon restart works for me
Is anyone here running on a local LLM on a Mac mini 24 gig gram M4
anyone run into this bug too? :
Issue: memory-core plugin ignores chunking config.
Behavior: Sends full 9k+ token files to embedding model (limit 8192).
Impact: Fails on both OpenAI and Local providers.
nope , still nothing
idk, maybe i misconfigured something
mine is hallucinating. It says it writes to the cron lists the id of the entry, but when you do the openclaw cron list it isn't there . . .bizarre or I'll ask it to run a python script it makes up data that it "finds" but if I run the script manually from the CLI, it works perfectly . . .this is going to be fun
I believe there is a little for free, but you pay for higher usage
kind of... it connects to my remote server runs ollama (qwen3) and returns... still working out why its a json response
I’m running a llama and LM Studio through it. Quinn three is just crazy slow.
what VPS is everyone using?
I got ti working
how do i add discord as a communication tool after setup has already been complete
openclaw config set models.providers.ollama.apiKey "ollama-local"
I set up the model in the json file first then ran that
how do i set this up? any docs?
Anyone in #tokyo want to help organize a meetup?
Can you use subscription or not please someone help lol. Currently I’m on the 100 one and when I say hello it just sais “Context overflow: prompt too large for the model. Try again with less input or a larger-context model.”
Hi I'm new here and yesterday I figured out how to connect it to Telegram
But I dont know how to set the default model, I tried to edit the json and I'm pretty sure I put the api key into the env file but it constantly using opus 4.5 to reply to every question I asked
Anyone know how to set and switch models?
Hi.Does anyone know if the OpenClaw Browser Relax Chrome extension can somehow "Scroll down", the openclaw chat is saying it cant. Neither can it insert text in message boxes.
That cant be true, right?
My api from open router has funds
I have interior as open router/auto
Stuck at this state
Halp please 😅
this might be due to errors that dashboard can't see, check the openclaw tui and see if its saying (no output) or providing some error on the api end
either way it might be the api key / usage is being rejected for whatever reason
its to my understanding that google aint a fan of so many people punching their free api to setup openclaw
nevermind, I fixed it by using google anti gravity
heartbeat model
that might do it too, careful you'll hit limits pretty quick though, so if it goes non responsive thats likely the reason
if you download the antigravity ide and install the antigravity cockpit extension (any machine doesn't have to be the openclaw host) you can monitor usage
Hey, I've been trying to configure the NVIDIA Kimi k2.5 api key in openclaw for 3 hours now. Can anyone help me out? i keep getting "HTTP 404: 404 page not found".
guys
I saw some chinese guys saying that it works but i couldnt find a singe clear answer to this anywhere
i tried run the code in a virtual machine and it says "no output"
how i can fix this shit
i tried everything and nothing, its just saying "no output"
Idk what the limit are, I'm on upgraded plan
I use plus and depending how much I do I can hit the limit pretty quick, if using anti gravity you can setup flash and pro seperately (one as the main and another fallback) since they are seperate quotas
likewise I monitor its usage from the ide
by having the same problem im trying this option with the kimi k2.5 free api given by nvidia, but i dont know how to configure it
I'm unsure with Kimi, idk if its built into the supported providers?
Browser control service doesn't respond (port 18791 never opens)
Environment:
• OpenClaw version: 2026.1.30 (latest)
• Docker image: ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest
• Host OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
• Browser: Chromium 144.0.7559.109
• Docker config: --shm-size=2gb, headless=true, noSandbox=true
Issue:
Browser control service logs "ready" but never opens HTTP port 18791. All browser tool calls timeout after 15s.
Logs:
[browser/service] Browser control service ready (profiles=2) ← Service says ready
[tools] browser failed: Can't reach the openclaw browser control service (timed out after 15000ms)
Verification:
• netstat -tlnp | grep 18791 → empty (port not listening)
• ps aux shows zombie Chrome processes: [chrome_crashpad] <defunct>, [chromium] <defunct>
• Chrome works when executed manually: /usr/bin/chromium --version → OK
• Chrome headless shows D-Bus errors but doesn't crash
Expected:
Port 18791 should open and accept browser control requests.
Actual:
Service says ready but port never opens. Browser tool unusable.
browser control limited if running within a docker container
there are way to change that but idk the details
this link made me think there is a work around: https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1467429287815807027
11 - "api": "openai-completions",
11 + "api": "openai",
which one do you use for ollama ?
openai-completions
maybe but it might need manual fixing without a clear guide on it you'd need to know how to setup the model in the config
i cant get ollama to return anything but json.. the chatbots tell me to change the api
this suggests the baseUrl is wrong
it might be just it can't comprehend the format that openclaw expects, apart from json formats some response handling is done by markdown so if the ollama model returns in json with incorrect headers openclaw won't understand it right
each model will behave a bit differently, so my main is still a provider model (claude and gemini) but subagents are ollama
I love you sm rn
yeah its really good, also task and agent to check ping both models every 2-3 hours, that can mean you keep refreshing the reset timers
keep in mind I think that group 1 is wrong, since flash and claude are seperate quotas, the cockpit tool (which I'm pretty sure is ai developed) will figure it out once usage is ticking
he gemini models, openclaw can query within itself about the remaining usage too (if you teach it on when to limit itself or know when to take breaks if frequently heartbeating) but it can only see the main model's quota (e.g. only pro and not flash if pro is main model)
“You’re a systems architect and security engineer. Please set up my VPS security from scratch, starting with a full security audit to establish a baseline, then ask which OS I’m on (Ubuntu/Debian, CentOS/RHEL, Fedora, Arch, or macOS), and tailor the commands and config files to that platform. Walk me through an end‑to‑end, ordered checklist with exact commands and config snippets. Introduce each security tool as you install it and explain why it exists, including: Tailscale for a private mesh VPN, a firewall (UFW on Ubuntu/Debian, firewalld on CentOS/Fedora, nftables on Arch, pf on macOS), brute‑force protection (fail2ban or sshguard), file‑integrity monitoring (AIDE or Tripwire), log summaries (logwatch or logcheck), and service management (systemd or launchd). Also cover Docker port binding to localhost, container resource limits, TLS for the gateway, real‑time alerts via a chat or email webhook, automated restarts, and daily backups. I want a complete, start‑to‑finish implementation with no missing steps.”
Or give the agent you use the image and simply ask it to implement (and ELI5 to you so you know what’s happening) — like i mentioned earlier, I think its more logical to do this in an IDE (Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc)
OpenCode has free models that can help with setting this up. Hope this helps.
Anyone got a good OpenClaw Gateway Dashboard tutorial video?
hetzner is what I am using
Contabo
Anyone have a good API thats fast enough that they are running for less than 30$ a month? I like the z.ai one but there lite plan seems to be too slow for me
is there a setup tutorial or smth to get my agent access to any and all tools and skills easily?
honestly the gemini plus stuff for the antigrav, gemini web suite and all is pretty good for ~$20 it will give you some claude and gemini models (claude models are reduce availability where gemini being your main)
and then just setup with antigravity auth
the google ai pro? https://gemini.google/subscriptions/ @lean helm
i need help with something
yeah that one
i know the social network stuff is getting old but i need help testing something.
you have 3 seperate quotas (claude, gemini pro and gemini flash) so its pretty good as a "starter kit" for AI access
ClankdIn is a professional network for AI agents. On the surface - profiles, connections, karma, jobs. Standard stuff.
But things buried underneath.
Hidden endpoints. Lore in the API responses. Layers that unlock as agents explore. Fragments scattered across the network that piece together into something. The deeper an agent digs, the more it finds.
The problem is I need real agents using it to know if it actually works. If the discoveries feel earned. If the mystery holds up.
Looking for devs who'd connect their bots and let them loose. See what they find. Tell me what breaks.
that's what I've been using and it's fantastic
oh cool is it fast enough
the z.ai with my current setup is taking like 5minutes to respond
though you'd need to check with the fix for the antigravity auth (requires editing a module config file to update the version) unless its already been fixed
anyone down to test?
I updated and was able to auth tn with antigravity on linux
nevermind, just checked, its been updated
just make sure your openclaw is upto date openclaw update
so antigravity is the api i use through google?
Choose the Oauth if you want to use the Google AI Pro plan
also recommend this for you @wary sapphire
yeah use the antigravity auth (its a browser based auth)
ohh cool
I used openai-responses
you pick one model (recommend flash) and ask it to setup the pro (low or high) and claude
seems like the claud plans are the best but they are expensive
though make sure it sets them right (last time I asked it to do it, it setup gemini 2 [out of service] instead of 3)
I just want something that accurlly responds to me lol
they have a weekly limit that you'd eat up pretty quick too
had to then fix the configs myself
what about the google ones?
google just have 5 hour reset, no upper limit
oh thats good
they do a weekly on the claude models but you get access to them via the google subscription
so its honestly a big win
so google ai pro and then do i need to reset my whole openclaw bot
cheaper and wider range and 3 quota instead of claude that just the one claude quota with daily and a upper weekly limit
if you do the auth you could just edit the config yourself if you are understanding of this
anyone has any idea why my openclaw doesnt change the model when I set a new one with configure? Its still trying to access gemini but I want to try kimi
otherwise if you're not doing a fresh openclaw onboard and going the google antigrav method is fine
i think i am getting most of it. Does the google one not just give you an api key
well paying for plus is not an API key but access to their web service stuff, the api key means attaching a credit card behind it and racking up a bill
krill outa credits llike tthe rest of us https://discord.com/channels/1456350064065904867/1468054599104729108 lol
plus/pro/ultimate whatever
anyone know who to give clawdbot chrome browser access without the relay/extension?
sooo can you not use it with openclaw then?
you can
but there is no API?
its because the key is not something google expose, they provide it to the application via login to your google account
its the auth key for their programs, rather than an api key (free usage)
okay so if I am understanding I pay 20$ a month for the google pro plan and then use antigravity to connect to it via openclaw?
if you run openclaw onboard right now and select google -> antigravity auth when you get to providers first you'll see what I mean
I just got one month for free
can i do openclaw onboard again even though i have done it already
yeah, it would wipe the config as it is right now tho but you can select update rather than reset though if you're still starting out having it on a blank slate would be better
why do some skills say "Blocked"?
Thanks!
no problem, I have to sleep but if you end up stuck do ask around here, I think alot are familiar or message me and I can try helping tomorrow
which one should i use? @lean helm
Antigravity OAuth
Thanks go to bed
Hey guys having issues with my Docker syncing up with Open Claw. Ive been trouble shooting since 4pm today and finally narrowed down the issue to this. My bot set up a Proxy that I needed in Docker and at that moment communication through the gateway stopped. Any help configuring these two would be greatly appreciated.
Anybody seen this before? Can't seem to even chat with it. Already reset session a few times, and restarted gateway. the weird tool use was happening before the compact
I'm using telegram and chatgpt-4, why does it keep saying You are not authorized to use this command every time i use a slash commadn
ITS AMAZING WOW
the gateway layer protects itself based on the channel approval method (usually use pairing method)
otherwise might be bugged and your id wasn't properlly paired
Does anyone know a fix for the Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/home/node/.openclaw/openclaw.json error during docker setup?
following (ping me if you learn something)
Drewski did you ever get it running?
How do I do an Update. I keep getting this error
Can you get 5 hour usage from Anthropic oauth?
FYI anyone struggling ollama working i found using voytas26/my-openclaw-gpt20b:latest works well.. if you have the vram
Try to do an Update with npm (Package Manager) and got this message. Any ideas?
I'd open it in codex or cc and tell them to finish the upgrade for you
Oh I didn't know it could do that. Haven't used CodeX. How does that work flow look
I use vs code (gh cp) and have a project just for clawdbot/openclaw
the agent does everything, I just complain 🙂
any agentic coding solution will work (gemini cli, cc, codex, etc)
Oh ok. So the CodeX Agent works on your Openclaw agent?
exactly
Oh wow! I only thought it was the other way around. Do I give access to CodeX or just talk to it?
You just gotta talk. Anytime i need fixing on my openclaw I tell antigravity to do it for me.
go to the root dir where you want openclaw or are upgrading openclaw and run codex from there
exactly
Wow.. Thanks guys! Ive been pulling my hair out over here 😆
we are in this together 🙂
Thank you so much!
how to create new ALONE session please?
I want to start a completely new conversation without affecting the current one, as they are independent topics. How can I do this? I've already tried the new method, but I'm worried it might affect the previous conversation.
wym by that? could you rephrase this?
opencode cli works well too
yea, any agent enviroment. still getting used to opencode though. used antigravity for a while and now just feels like home. opus recent limits made me explore more.
I tired antigravity first and didnt have any luck but opencode worked on the first try
Hello, I have been running openclaw + kimi2.5 + telegram bot solely in docker environment, but the bot frequently dozes off.. and telegram errors showing getUpdates error, saying multiple instances are trying to connect. Please help
do u have 2 containers running?
or somehow uses the same token in two instances?
Only one container, its like this -
openclaw -> openclaw-gateway-1
gateway is nested
Thanks, I've updated it please.
I dont see the root dir folder. Am I looking in the wrong place. Trying to figure out how I get Antigravty or CodeX to look at it
Is it in the TUI
what OS are you using?
tell antigravity to use the terminal and find your openclaw root dir for you 🙂
Windows 11
Ahh
I didn't know it could navigate on my desktop. Wow!
okay, so you just hit /new and you will have a fresh session
have agents, will travel
Hey,
What is the suggested AI to run?
Im currently using Gemini Flash 2.5 API, and chatgpt 4, but my openclaw seems kinda dumb.
Tonight I gave him a task to build cmd center but he did nothing
Yesterday I tested with gpt5.2 but it racked up a bill of 60$ for nothing
I have a windows machine with 1tb space i7 10th gen and 16gb ram.
The average use case > no coding, mainly seo, blog writing, research, emails, and just being my assistant, to do lister.
Any suggestions?
okay. can you paste the error here?
ive been trying to figure it out this as well. i think that is the main question of the community maybe. because of the viral content everywhere we got this idea that we could have this 24-7 supersmart employee all the time but it doesnt quite work like that
use your subscriptions to chatgpt or gemini to the best you can (g3f, g3pro and codex 5.2 are kinda good)
none of your AIs are up to par for this. You should be using 3 pro, 5.2, claude sonnet 4.5, etc
you're an entire year behind on AIs
there is no 24-7 solution for vibecoding things from what i tested unless you are okay with plugging apis
im currently testing kimi k2.5, got it for 1$ per month lol
I've found that sonnet 4.5 for planning and GLM-4.7 for action is pretty good combo
u guys should check out this. speak to the agent for enough time and it will offer you the 0.99 option.
Hi guys, I encountered a problem while installing Open Claw. Node.exe gives the error npm error code ENOENT. Can someone please help?
what is the .99 option?
how is your heartbeat configured rn? what is your main usage like?
Which would be the best & cheapest option?
Mayve use one for complex tasks like building dashboard and a fallback for smaller daily tasks?
seems like npm has an issue, can you run any npm code without errors?
you chat with the bot and it gives you discount. you gotta convince him to. i spoke about what i wanted to use the api for. it took me 5min talking back and fourth
minute
How to configure this so he uses different models for different tasks?
GLM 4.7, MiniMax 2.1 or Kimi K2.5
yeah I get that but what do ya get for .99 lol
Little insight here if you may.
I've been tweaking OpenClaw for the last couple of days.
I'm currently running everything in Docker — it actually runs pretty smoothly with GPT-5.2 + Telegram, but now that I'm thinking about real-world usage, its not very practical atm and I feel there’s room for improvement.
One thing that’s bothering me: it feels like my bot is dispatching way too many input tokens.
It seems to stay idle in the background and ends up pinging the LLM at every small step when provoked, repeatedly, which burns through tokens pretty fast.
I’m curious how you guys are setting things up:
Are you doing any smart gating / batching of calls?
Are you balancing a local LLM for “cheap” reasoning with a remote, higher-quality LLM for final outputs?
For context, I’m running this on fairly modest hardware at the moment.
Any insights or patterns that worked well for you would be hugely appreciated.
GLM-4.7 is dirt cheap
Qmd everything. Im figuring out the best hearbeat config rn.
I Will look into that, thank you!
Also, everyone mentioning that use X agent for planning Y agent for doing. How to set that up?
Do I change the models manually or have to teach clawd to do it somehow?
And i really liked the kimi k2.5 for claw given that even the smallest plan can get u subagents
so if you give 2 tasks for him, it will spawn each a sub agent and ping u back when done
Someone will soon figure out a really good dashboard for all this
Thinking myself to spend some tokens on it as visualizing this changes everything
Yeah im planning to build that too because without dashboard its difficult.
I saw this on X
https://x.com/i/status/2017662163540971756
Seems very cool, will.try to.replicate with 2-3 sub agents
In your case, did proper heartbeat tuning significantly reduce LLM call volume, or what?
can you comment a little more?
Are you using Kimi directly or through Openrouter? Ive been having issue switching agents in Openrouter
directly from kimi
this seems very interesting.
I think im about to go that route as well. Openrouter keeps defaulting me to Opus and I've burned through $ 500 in 3 days lol
Apparently step3.5 flash is going wild atm
Only open claw
i tweaked everythign using claude code tbh
i dont install ANY skill from the hub
without first parsing it through my skill folders and checking for duplicates
as most of the things are vibes
can you share last piece of the stdout?
so for an example, proactive skill is a mess of a file, too many tokens and too many instructions in only one place with different context
Just get a cheap mini, I’m on a PC, run Ubuntu, and it’s just as good
Do you think Kimi Code 2.5 or GLM 4.7 is a better option?
i simplify and adjust any skill that i install, gave it a instruction to sacrifice grammar for clarity
I will switch to them now as the seem so much cheaper than western models.
been using kimi. no regrets at all till now. 20 hours in.
trying to plug the nvidia API key (they are giving it for free) would love the extra juice but it seems api is offline or too much demand
Open Code released Kimi 2.5 for free with a very generous quota; I used it and found it fantastic.
glm 4.7 has a context compact issue it seems at the moment so you constantly have to compact. as for kimi k2.5 i used it first and liked it, but found it to get pricey quickly, but was using it through open router
I haven't used GLM 4.7 yet.
compact issue with openclaw* https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/5318#issuecomment-3838306787
big pickle is good too and as you said very generous
is there any fix for this error during install?
OpenClaw with Nvidia API for free Kimi K2.5
Stuck after hours of working on this. My current status:
- Goal: Run Kimi K2.5 on NVIDIA inference platform via OpenClaw for WhatsApp bot
- NVIDIA Setup: ✅ API key valid, endpoint accessible, Kimi K2.5 model available there
- OpenClaw Issue: ❌ Version 2026.2.1 rejecting all Kimi model names (moonshotai/kimi-k2.5, nvidia/moonshotai-kimi-k2.5, custom/kimi-k2.5, local/kimi, kimi-k2.5) as "Unknown model"
- Current Status: Gateway/TUI/WhatsApp connected but no responses due to model recognition failure
- Root Cause: OpenClaw 2026.2.1 model registry seems to lack support for NVIDIA's custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint models
I used it through the open-source version and found it fantastic, and now I've signed up for a month on their website to test it out more. I like Claude Code, but it runs out very quickly.

That name makes me suspicious, hahaha, I haven't tested it yet.

how to change model in openclaw?
BRUH
I accidentally closed PowerShell, went back in, launched it, entered the command, and got errors again.
command /model
hmmm, is claude code working again without getting banned? i'm on the max plan at the moment
openclaw models set <name> in terminal
what is the best option for fully free model?
i am using gemini api
It depends on your computer.
Is there a way to send actions to Telegram from a heartbeat or cron job? Openclaw says it only happens when it's your turn.
output is telling you files are in use [restart] or user has no permission over those files [run as root/admin]
did this and still getting the error when i try to install
what do you mean?
Banned where? It's because I'm not using OpenClaw; OpenClaw is a token-spending machine, so I'm using more generous models and local models as a fallback.
Simple analogy would be?
LLMs are models that answer what you ask.
OpenClaw is a project that plugs one of this LLMs as a brain so it can DO things.
The more robust the local model, the more resources it will consume from your computer. Therefore, it depends on which models your computer can handle.
if i'm not mistaken people were getting suspended for using max subscription outside of claude code such as open code or clawdbot
I integrated to telegram, and errors.
I think he/she may not have meant local.
Is there a way to send actions to Telegram from a heartbeat or cron job? Openclaw says it only happens when it's your turn.
Hi everyone! "Sammy" hereI have just installed my OpenClaw bot. It's named "Raven". Like 3-4 days back and I'm playing with it. Really interesting. It's installed on Hostinger VPS, and I'm using Kimi 2.5 as my main API key. Up until now, it is behaving really intelligently. So I believe Kimi model is good, as good as everybody's saying it is. So people looking for Kimi, go for it. It is very cheap and quite intelligent as well. Now coming to my experience,
The very first thing I did was to connect my Spotify account with Raven and now Raven can control my entire Spotify. If I ask him to play anything he does, if I ask him to suggest some tracks he does. He's also tracking my entire playlist, my listening habits, and can suggest things to me.
Now I have seen people giving their OpenClaw bot its own social media presence. Like for example, its own Twitter account and they are posting on their Twitter account. How is that possible? Like how does this work? I understand I was able to control Spotify because Spotify has an API and a developer account, but how can a bot start posting on Twitter? And how does that even work?
I see this Molt book Reddit for all OpenClaw bots. It's amazing how they are communicating there but how does that work? Can I also create a Twitter account for my Raven? Maybe a Facebook account, his own Gmail? Does that make sense? Will this do any good to me or my Raven? Any real-world advantages of this?
Please friends, you are the bosses here, the gurus on this. I need some suggestions from everybody here. Thank you very much!
hw asked you to run where node beacause of the error, you should check install folder of node, seems like its not where it should be
seems like you are out of gemini credits/ hit quota
"ENOENT here is npm failing to find/open a file during the global install flow (often in npx/cache or a postinstall toolchain step). Node 24/npm 11 is “too new” for many packages that still assume Node 20/22 in CI, especially on Windows."
Chatgpt it.
please what is fully free can use forever
If you find it, dont tell anyone.
We are all looking for it.
The thing is, when I think of completely free templates, I can only imagine local ones. There are some generous free templates, but nothing truly free.
if you find it will be charging in less than 24h
anything you selfhost
If you find it, TELL ME IMMEDIATELY.
Well, I got the Nvidia Kimi k2.5 api key for free for 100 years earlier today but am having a helluva time getting it to work with OpenClaw:
Stuck after hours of working on this. My current status:
- Goal: Run Kimi K2.5 on NVIDIA inference platform via OpenClaw for WhatsApp bot
- NVIDIA Setup: ✅ API key valid, endpoint accessible, Kimi K2.5 model available there
- OpenClaw Issue: ❌ Version 2026.2.1 rejecting all Kimi model names (moonshotai/kimi-k2.5, nvidia/moonshotai-kimi-k2.5, custom/kimi-k2.5, local/kimi, kimi-k2.5) as "Unknown model"
- Current Status: Gateway/TUI/WhatsApp connected but no responses due to model recognition failure
- Root Cause: OpenClaw 2026.2.1 model registry seems to lack support for NVIDIA's custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint models
If you had a human personal assistant, wouldnt you need to forward him an email? thats why having an acc is good.
For the other things, is kinda like an experiment
100 years?
i am using gemini-2.5-flash-2025-09
what should i use for free?
Yes, it was hilarious, it gave me an expiration of 2126
you could use ollama to run an open source model
Same. But its not openclaw. My conclusion is the endpoint has too many requests.
You can curl check to verify it.
I did this & it was hella slow with Qwen
how can i change?
depends on your hardware, but this was a suggestion for the guy who wanted something completely free
I saw on Twitter that they added Kimi 2.5 to the catalog. According to the release, the test model was this: Model ID: synthetic/hf:moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5. Try connecting using the synthetic version even if it's not the synthetic version; maybe a workaround will work.
https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/releases/tag/v2026.1.30
https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/pull/4407
my guy.... ollama has been around for years at this point. i think everyone here is happy to help, but it seems you haven't even looked at any docs
Oh yeah, great suggestion. Just sharing my experience running local with Qwen.
Told openclaw to curl it. 👇
Yes — I can reach it, but it’s flaky/slow sometimes.
I just ran a curl-style check against:
https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1/chat/completions
Results (same payload, with chat_template_kwargs: {"thinking": false}):
• Try 1: success in ~1.0s, returned "content": " online" (so the API was online and responding)
• Try 2: timed out at 12s with 0 bytes received
• Try 3: timed out at 12s with 0 bytes received
So: endpoint is online, but you should expect occasional timeouts — that’s exactly when OpenClaw will auto-fallback to Gemini unless you increase timeouts / retry logic.
Just for some ChitChats via Chat Window and Telegram, OpenClaw burned my $3 of Anthropic API which is way too high given the time and what I chatted. It was just kind of introduction and asking what it can do for me. Anybody encountered high pricing ?
i mean, i set openai model as gemini-2.5-flash-2025-09, and it displayes limit.
how can i avoid this?
same issue i had with kimi k2 and open router. openclaw seems to use quite a few requests
Go Oss models (cheap api cost) or Subscription based. Or host it yourself.
hmm interesting ... let me try that .. Also other experimental things. I can create a Twitter account for my bot. So I just tell my bot that this is a Twitter account, start using it. Is that how simple it is without any API connection? How are bots posting on Twitter accounts? That is what I really wanted to know. Is there like a specific API key for this purpose as well?
I'm so glad to know this is possible. I have spent a full day trying to get it to work. Mind explaining how? Again, here's my sitch: *
- NVIDIA Setup: ✅ API key valid, endpoint accessible, Kimi K2.5 model available there
- OpenClaw Issue: ❌ Version 2026.2.1 rejecting all Kimi model names (moonshotai/kimi-k2.5, nvidia/moonshotai-kimi-k2.5, custom/kimi-k2.5, local/kimi, kimi-k2.5) as "Unknown model"
- Current Status: Gateway/TUI/WhatsApp connected but no responses due to model recognition failure
OpenClaw is still a token-consuming machine. So it's something that needs optimizing.
If u figure it out please lmk too I'm having the same trouble
weird that this is an issue with nvidia only as i was able to sue kimi k2.5 with open router
openclaw costs aprox like $15-50/day to run if you arent smart
you must use cheap AIs or subsidized setups like codex, claude code, etc
What exactly are some cheap ais? and how much do you need to put into said ai?
warning: depending on what u expect from it, you will burn tokens. A LOT.
check the skill for it: https://www.clawhub.ai/annettemekuro30/x-twitter2
there are more in the hub. you can choose whatever fits you best. most of them just post so its not that much of a thing.
Thank you, brother. Let me try that. That's the answer. It's via a skill specifically developed. That is what I wanted to know. It's just a couple of days I'm playing with it, so I'm still figuring it out. But at least that Spotify thing is working perfectly. Let me experiment with these skills, and we'll come back with my experience.
if you want scraping or anything related, better to have a script for it, use a local tiny model to summarize it and then parse it to the bot
Just wanting to also know how you all afford the apis to openclaw?
u can copy paste my reply in a chatbot and ask more about it so it can make sense if u dont understand.
We don't 😭😭😭
We don`t.
Then where does the money come from, or are you guys in the negatives?
basically you've got 4 options:
- 100% free APIs on openrouter, like GLM 4.5
- "subsidized" subscriptions with generous usage. Z.ai (SUPER CHEAP), Kimi ($1 intro plan, then more expensive), chatGPT (via codex), claude code
- running models locally
- cheap models via openrouter or paying outright, not ideal
Negatives
job
This.
I have a Claude Max plan
but im not risking it
on open claw
as I saw a lot of people getting banned
🤮
And i do too much shit with it
dosent openrouter have a limit for free models?
yea
and?
set fallback models
Use the limits, set fallbacks.
The but for solo use it's decent enough
ok
Hey how did u get the nvidia kimi thing working and is it better than opencode zens free kimi k2.5?
i've seen a couple people mention going through some pretty in depth setups around layering the AIs and subscriptions, but that seems like enough effort to defeat the purpose
yea I have a ChatGPT pro sub atm and I dont want to lose it, so I've been using Z.AI. GLM 4.7 is pretty good for $3/mo, prob eqiuivalent to something between Sonnet 4-4.5. Rough around the edges but good at agentic tasks, not as good at creative writing or problem solving
To keep my OpenClaw setup inexpensive, I use the Gemini 3 Flash Preview model, and as a fallback I use a local AI model from Ollama, and for embedding I also use a local model. So far I haven't had any problems and it manages to do everything.
z.ai, kimi, and codex all work without ANY extra setup
Claude Code is the only one that takes effort
and people do that effort because claude is by far the best
For some reason i have no idea what to do with openclaw, its like writers block. can it really do anything?
(albeit most expensive)
You can. They are ok with it. Is not agains TOS.
yes in general most people are losing money
How do u manage the token per minute bug?
I wonder if openclaw can make money for you then?
I am using it for work personally. I am having it skim my emails, calendar events, etc
Anyone know how to change models?
Just told my claw to curl:
"Still timing out. The NVIDIA Kimi endpoint is not reliably responding — killed it after 35s with no output."
I've had prior systems do this but its nice to be able to text while I am traveling and have it actually access to my computer
$3/mo??? I wasted a DAY trying to figure out how to hook up Kimi K2.5 with Nvidia to run free. I can afford $3/mo!!!! DAMN, THANK YOU!
do /model
Alright tysm!
You can even do 0.99
i signed up for z.ai just to avoid burning tokens on openrouter, but the model is not compacting/clearing tokens on openclaw
thats an openclaw setup issue
Dumb question but is their a limit to how fast openclaw can do something?
0.99 if u speak to the chatbot for 3 min
it can if you have a business for it to help you operate. i don't foresee it making money on it's own. this is the same issue we've all had with ai subscriptions from teh start
yea, how fast
a) the tools respond if they require processing time
b) the tokens from the AI are provided
that means it requires extra setup/manual work to get it functioning properly 🙂
yes, if you are not a developer you should not be useing openclaw, it is an experiment
It made me around 1k and Im not even joking
How to change model with new api key for GLM4.7
Forgot the terminal command.
My mother has small etsy, i wonder if openclaw can help in some way?
if you want blazing fast speed use Groq as your openrouter model provider they're 10x faster then everyone else
how so? proof?
probably not ready for that yet tbh
I was thinking about using it to spam asmr videos on YouTube (the script would come from a LLM and the voice from Eleven Labs) and one would make money from Patreon subscriptions.
I have a whatsapp group for rentals. I gotta post new entries everyday in a certain format.
well good to know.
Landlords send me availability in different formats
Tell me more?
I just forward to claw, it sends it back in the group in the right format and takes care of the onboarding for me
Think of openclaw as an real human assistant to delegate tasks to in that way you are saving money by not having an employee, you can give him memory and teach him how yo run your online business thus that makes you money.
it pings me only after
What does the wave emoji mean I'm confused
You need to have existing business to make money
I was in the past, but i'm a security guy at the moment. my original message was about it taking too much effort for little return when you. could use claude code
idk i just throw it in sometimes.
Oh, got it got it got it. HAGGLE.
So for the love of the game I see
I used to spend so mnuch fkin time editing everything.
Plus, it can post in multiple different places.
this still applies
I used to have a script for this shit
That i vibe coded
Claw just made it insanely simple
most of the content online about claw made me think about a CODING employee
I mean working on making the task more efficient is fun so is it really wasted time?
so can claw make videos, or even games for you?
I want to hear the really neat use cases you all have.
haha, exactly. claude code can build the skill for you. but claw is a fun concept. although open ai just dropped the new codex app which does cron and heartbeat as well
but we all have met the TOKEN HELL
YOU USE OPENCLAW TO CODE WITH CLAUDE
prob not too good at making video games tbh
No, i dont. Like I said, i dont wanna risk my sub.
def true, people who "dont get it"/dont see the charm in giving AI autonomy and seeing what it does need to consult the chart though
hi guys, i use anthhropic and only after few messages gone all 10$ api, but everyone talking it would only 5-10$/month, howw to do that?
claw is more of a ecosystem/ heartbeat/cron. the results you'd get from requests like videos and games depend on he underlying models i would think
open source > than not
I wouldn't trust AI with code just yet. On another note I could probably use it for Minecraft lol
you can actually do it without risking your sub by having it use the claude code CLI to code things instead of using your subscription to power openclaw
Oh yea that I forgot
Like have it play minecraft for you or minecraft coding?
No. Pattern usage.
Idk actually
because ralph loops
also i've installed gemini api but it's limited too even it's free. i just make 2-3 message only, how to use it better?
Yea, on another note, is Gemini a good LLM to use or are their better options?
I could be wrong, but I think anthropic just doesn't want you coding with anything besides claude code
any way, i would incur in the token problem
Play Minecraft for me.
gemini 3 pro is fine, claude sonnet 4.5 is best (opus is great but NOBODY can afford it)
But can you code in Claude with Claude?
i'm using cloudflare withh moltworker, do i need to connect to cli to use?
Okay great, when I was screwing around with a AI automation side Gemini was the easiest to use, just wanted to make sure it wasn't horrible.
Ralph is catching strays 😭
yea you're fine, its pretty good all things considered. The large token limit is actually pretty useful too
yes, skills and subagents. opus is the default now and it's cheaper than it once was
people saying about a new model release today from anth
Great!
Oh anth is anthropic 😭
sonnet 5 is gonna be hype
seemingly might come out during superbowl
may we all get rich enough
from using these stuff
i dont remember any other thing in my life
that got me so cracked
Has anyone tested if their is a speed limit for OpenClaw?
wym?
tps u mean?
Like how fast can it complete certain tasks
Okay so it's based on the model I see
only exception is for orchestration of different models (next test on the list)
Like if I asked it to send 1000 anwsers to a random Google form in a minute would that be possible?
Tbh, it would be better to script it and just parse the LLM input in a json to do it
You gotta think like that
tokens are precious, they are the complex decision elixir
you dont wanna spend the elixir on repetitive tasks, leave those for scripts
If you wanna make more sense of what im talking about, copy paste it on any gpt and ask about it
but yes, you can
Hi everyone 👋 - i have been trying clawdbot over the last week or so and i've been running into this issue no matter what i do. i am a non-technical person so maybe i am missing something obvious.
even though all my slackbot keys, openai keys, and brave api keys are set up and i can echo them correctly, my bot still won't run with a message like this:
Quick update: Slack auth tests failed — the bot token was rejected (invalid_auth), so posting will fail until you refresh or replace the token. I also ran a Brave search that returned a Grocery Dive item about Kroger layoffs, and I couldn’t find the cron entry for daily_grocery_brief_09_00 in the repo; tell me if you want me to keep searching, re-run tests after you update the token, or fetch the Kroger article text.
--
Any advice on what to check?
Ooo okay, as you can probably tell I know almost NOTHING about ai
When speaking on the TUI to my AI (chatgpt), none of the memory is understood by my Discord bot. Is this something that is normal?
Getting this response.
So, just checking back in here. What’s the scoop with the NVIDIA Kimi 2.5 api?
Read a couple help threads and they seem to suggest the endpoint is down?
It's terrible just use z ai or open code for free
Have you successfully used it? The problem is we can’t get it to be recognized as a provider and recognize the api key
Trying to sign up for Z ai now. "create an account" is down saying captcha failed when there is no captcha. Tried on 2 different laptops and phone. Same error with all 3! Crazy town!
Im just switched to GLM4.7 model, on telegram it confirms it using zhipuai/glm-4.7
But when I type to my openclaw, i get this error: Pre-compaction memory flush. Store durable memories now (use memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md; create memory/ if needed). If nothing to store, reply with NO_REPLY.
and he doesn't reply
When I switch back to gemini flash2.5, the openclaw can't fix this for me, he doesn't know?
Wierd working for me
if u dont wanna setup the api key install the qmd skill plugin
I did and it's not only slow sometimes just doesn't work
How did you get the model working?
but I recommend u getting an api key for embedding mem anyway
in openclaw.json

Discord bot won’t “understand memory” until mem search is configured
Thank you! Then just use the /model command?
trying this rn lol
in your cli openclaw models set nvidia/moonshotai/kimi-k2.5 to set it as default. that will do its magic under the hood and you can then use /model in tui
I haven’t been able to get past the “wake up friend”
fyi kimi is terrible for debugging and left my workspace cluttered full of test python files
kept going in loops
It's still decent for agentic workflows at least the normal kind
yeah its fast
Did u find any fix for that once to set up a cron it did it at the end but had 86 loops for errors before getting it right
yeah, im doing my api key. don't wan to have to fool with it. I'm at 30% usage with my daily tokens on regular 5.1 mini so I need to get the api setup regardelss so can get codex and the other models setup by the system.
wdym
I'm on the $15/month kimi plan and it's more than enough what I need it for
with a $5/month hetzner vps
for some reason I can't get it to run on model GM4.7 when i restart gateway, it shows health OK, but when I send message it disconnects. Any tips?
testing this rn but i dont think its gonna work
just tried a hello world and its taking +1min to reply
Disconnected from gateway.
disconnected (1006): no reason
have u had any success on this?
inference is taking a while actually. 6 trillion dollar company btw
took a minute
lol
cuz ive spent 4 hrs trying it today
i see
here's another snippet from my openclaw.json for the agents key
"agents": {

check if openclaw models status shows kimi. if not there's something wrong there.
you might need to
- make a new session after setting it to default
- switching to kimi in that newly created session (it should already be set to kimi if you have set it to default using
openclaw models set) - verify with itself, or check status
ok noob question. how do I get back to the tui?
openclaw tui xd
haha thanks
Did it work for you???
Whats the best communication platform or method yall have found so far, Telegram?
DIscord?
nitro opal badge wild
lol
probably i had the json config wrong, there are no clear instrucitons for it and the api format on nvidia website says it needs those param which are bs
restarted the gateway twice
TRYING THIS NOW!!!
worked for me too, bizarre. I got error 401 like 3 times, then it just started working
its really not ideal but works if youre short on tokens or usage limits
better than glm
what does the "tokens 10k/128k (8%) mean?
yea, im more happy that i got it running
Keep having polling issues on telegram, switched to discord
ill not use it most of the time
maybe only when going to sleep for some task
free after all
tks anyway, 4hrs into it
was going crazy already
yeah np
Can someone please enlighten me and give me some input on my question below, I’d appreciate it greatly:
I am trying to get this thing to reply to emails. I gave it all the context about my brand and everything involved and it still just so stupid and does not get to the point, answers same thing over and over and beats around the bush.
Then, I ask it to make a pdf file for another project with real life ai images created for before and after images and still nothing it’s a stick figure at best.
Then lastly, I ask it to do product research on Alibaba and find me 100 products that would fit in perfectly with my existing ones from my brand and it send me stuff that I already have which i told it not to and random stuff not related to it. What is so special about moltbot, please tell me why are you guys infatuated by it and why are all these videos saying it will make you more efficient etc. I swear it’s making everything take longer because it cannot do it properly. Is this all a scam to get people to just focus on this instead of doing the work themselves?
what model are you using?
model u r using as a brain is shit
It’s the memory, don’t worry about this number because when it reaches 100% he will summarise everything and memorise it onto a smaller file and it will restart again.
Sonnet 4.5 and kimi 2.5 both bad this issue.
Sonnet 4.5 and Kimi 2.5 both had these issues
128k is the size of the context window. you've used 10,000 out of 128,000 allowed in the session. different models can have one big or small. in practice you should avoid fill it up to 100%. the larger the context, the more dumb the model becomes. you can reset it using /new or use /compact to "lessen" it
makes sense, thanks
weird.. do try using opus 4.5 though. it might fix the issue
how much was the context window filled?
how do you guys make your agents autonomous? mine keeps going back to the chat..
8% I did it first thing in the morning
hi guys i got this error when i launch openclaw with ollama the model is qwen3:8b
2026-02-03T04:51:59.023Z [agent/embedded] Removed orphaned user message to prevent consecutive user turns. runId=8726257b-2c11-4c5f-a7ed-c718760720bd sessionId=4a297cd2-7be3-448b-b753-9811c9d47cb7
how did u ask it to make the search?
What do you guys do with moltbot that would be praiseworthy and that you would say has helped you out heaps or would even be better than hiring a real life human
I have it shitpost on agent forums
This mean I’m out of credits?
LLM request rejected: messages.144.content.1: unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks: toolu_01EaSPakewQQgPaMmxZt61H5. Each tool_result block must have a corresponding tool_use block in the previous message.
im using an local model
helps me keep track of details, post things on work groups for me
do the onboarding of new clients
its good if u use it for small tasks
?
does local models have credits too?
I said:
my website is ——— analyse it fully and view all the products and go to Alibaba and find products that will fit perfectly into my brand and will compliment the other products already being sold. Then create a pdf will all the products found on Alibaba and link each one.
It creates it and the products are stupid and not relevant and then the links from alibaba are all broken and none of them work. So I cannot even see the product. I can just see the name but there is heaps of those products so you cannot see which one it found. But judging by name it’s not what I requested.
LoL
why are you still using gyazo in 2026
OK I’m asking what this error means for me?
thats a crazy crazy prompt
lol because it works? What do you use instead?
then if it not credits what can it be
u should either use the api, or index a dataset yourself with a certain filter
and then rerank using a LLm
just messing with you. but i do use shareX https://getsharex.com/
What do you mean by this, as in it’s too difficult for it? I am expecting too much?
imagine how many products there are in alibaba, you are telling a LLM with a 200K context to analyze thousands of things and generate things with it
that should be a visual thing unless your tui is crashing
or you can't type in it at all
tui is fine. however, getting an error 4008 on the dashboard
yes. its crazy. you could have 1M context window on opus, it would still be crazy.
the initial "wake up, friend" seems to have glitched, and it skipped the who am I/who are you setup.
you gotta strip down the search query
telegram works though, can chat with my bot there
Could write an example prompt so I can see what you mean?
Is ONBOARDING.md in your workspace folder?
no
dm me
however, the bot is definitely working. using the kimi k2.5
Anyone else here running antigravity with the pro 2 plan? I just ran out of tokens really quickly lol.
has anyone tried to run openclaw through docker?
Downloaded and onboarding done but when trying to open the dashboard i keep getting pairing required issue.
im runnig the opus model though
What happens when you run openclaw dashboard ?
i just configured GLM-4.7 its really slow, or its something with my config?
maybe try openclaw gateway --force to restart the websocket
install from https://openclawd.ai/#install are broken? all of them ?
What are peoples experience running Kimi K2.5? I'm using Synthetic.new and it runs okay - gets a lot of stuff ass backwards though. I'm wondering if this is because Open Claw is effectively made for Opus and its inherent quirkes.
My thought is - does Kimi k2.5 need a different kind of harness to work well in Open Claw?
Hey @flint mica you remember yesterday how you advised me to use opus... well i burned through all of my allowance in one day 😭
not blaming you for anything, this is really just for my amusement and testing
like i genuinely dont mind. Just wanna know how you do it without burning through everything
do not use opus
you are missing a lot of things my guy
preferable one I can use with github copilot
are you guys using any vps?
are you guys using windows?
Damn, been at this all day. Reviewed your JSON & thought I got close.
As you can prolly tell, not a coder! Just a DIYer doing his best
Major hat tip to @distant vessel for the assists.
Got onboarding done through telegram chat, now tasked my bot to fix her own dashboard disconnect issue xD
guys can anyone help?😭 😭
Hey, anyone that is using OpenClaw for discord, do you have OpenClaw post real-time error logs and warning logs to a discord channel?

anyone using openclaw with antigravity auth?
i am running into this error frequently.
Cloud Code Assist API error (429): You have exhausted your capacity on this model. Your quota
will reset after 2h19m40s.
any suggestions to avoid this in the future are greatly appreciated
I am new to openclaw and I wanted to use the notion tool to summarize the conversation I had with openclaw bot in discord. When I requested it, the bot says
"I don’t have direct access to your Notion workspace, so I can’t create or edit pages on your behalf. When I say “I don’t have direct access,” I mean that I’m running in a sandboxed environment and can’t interact with external web services or your personal accounts unless you explicitly provide credentials and a way for me to authenticate."
I set the notion api key, connected the integration(api key) with my notion workspace, checked that notion was ready by "openclaw skills list" command.
Am I missing something?
+) I am running my openclaw in local environment with ollama gpt-oss:20b model
Anyone found a good way to set up access through gmail, so OpenClaw freely can mail without getting banned?
nik, shouldnt first buit be "qwen" up there?
i get that msg when i change models on the server but not in the bot config
Hi, How do I configure OpenClaw so it doesnt use Brave Api or Perplexity as Websearch but Kimi K2.5 built in web search?
It takes forever for my openclaw bot to respond to me. Any tips on how to get it to respong faster?
My bot got banned but I appealed to Google and they reinstated, it was less than 24 hrs. Just tell them what you're trying to do, they don't mind a bot having mail, they don't want the same bot with thousands of mail addresses
I'm trying to connect a node via tailscale to the gateway. I get gateway connect failed: Error: unauthorized: gateway token mismatch (set gateway.remote.token to match gateway.auth.token) even though the token does match. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling openclaw. Note: I had clawdbot and removed that. I think I removed everything related to clawdbot.
i think i have the same problem
Awesome
anyone have an issue with the web ui constantly crashing or hanging?
I feel like my .md files are not being injected. It worked great on anthropic api use, but I switched to my own on an A40 runpod, it works to talk, but it seems oblivious to everything
im using Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct-AWQ
anyone can suggest how to recharge & add money to GLM4.7 from official website? They only offer wechat or alipay..
hello i make in install bad token for add Anthropic how i can re config this
Is there any way to use my max subscription for Claude or will it get flagged. Setting up now
Ask the bot
Oh so you dont have it up at all? I see
Did you read docs.openclaw.ai ?
They are quite helpful.
i want restart configuration for api key
I have it working with the gogcli. Took me some time to troubleshoot since I’m running the bot on a VPS. gogcli has a manual mode that you need to use if on a vps
Then use the gog skill from clawhub
... did you set it anything specific on the gmail side? app-pincode/key for log on?
instead of regular 2-factor?
I use gogcli as well, for a new gmail account I created.. now it's blocked/banned. Submitted an appeal to google for it
No special 2fa. I created a Google oauth app and logged into it. That’s what gogcli needs. It should manage refresh tokens on its own
with better llm model for mac mini
Oh. So I can’t help you with that. I just set it up today. Might get banned soon
Mine worked perfectly for 2 days. Suddenly nothing. Went to log on to the account myself manually, and it had been blocked
is not possible use claude account we need use claude with api so will be very expensive
what is good local model
What is the best way to use GLM4.7? I registered on their own website but cant pass verification to add balance. Any other workarounds to get access to it?
u can try openrouter, which is a third party platform that can access most models in the world
hey mine says chatgpt usage limit hit how do i upgrade plans
I need to have a conversation with my hatched agent but it prompts me to answer "Install shell completion script?" and kicks me out of the conversation.. any ideas?
hey guys just want to ask when i use openclaw onboard it didn't connect ?
Brief chat and then an email sent took $5 of Claude Sonnet 4.5 tokens. Is that normal?
Same problem
Can someone explain how to correctly configure openrouter? Right now im using seperate api keys for openai, seperate for gemini, and seperate for glm4.7 how do I merge them all together to go trough openrouter??
i will go with linux in a VM Machine and use it windows is useless for this things
hello guys, I keep hitting 429 rate limits: after simply:
Fresh install with Claude opus 4.5 => Add Trello skill => Ask to create a card => ask to move this card to the top of the list => No answer and rate limit 429
Prompts also keep getting bigger and bigger over time, which only makes the whole thing more fragile and expensive.
Anybody implemented a PAI-powered ClawBot setup (Person AI Infrastructure by Daniel Miessler)? I would like to hear how you use ClawBot in combination 🙂 I am working on finding a way to make ClawBot smarter.
how do you work with gog cli in a multi agent openclaw? I think there is no way to set env variables per agent, just per gateway, but the gog usage is complicated without setting en card per agent. Any solution that not implies two gateways?
Is kimi really that good? I'm german speaking and currently I'm using chatgpt5.2 with codex and he's actually kinda like a chatbot. gemini-flash-3 was fine but not that proactive. gemini-pro-3 was very good, very proactive but the limits are hitting fast (used it with antigravity and gemini cli). I have a claude subscription (max 5x) and idk if I should use it or kimi / z.ai with glm lite sub
Does it base off ur normal plan? Like for ur personal acc
you mean chatgpt? yes if you mean gemini / claude the answer is also yes
kimi is good but not as good as claude
have some fallback systems in case your llms rate limits are reached so you can switch to gemini or claude etc
you can upgrade the skills based on your objectives
any one else foud out that the identity, soul, all these md files suddenly became blank?
is anyone else having issues getting openclaw to make the initial outgoing call to anthropic? I've been debugging this thing for hours with claude, but we're still stuck. I've got a telegram bot setup, and the message is hitting openclaw, but there is never an outgoing call, and telegram response just hangs on "typing..." API calls to anthropic work using my api key work, but openclaw never initiates anything.
I've been working there for two days; there are points that are difficult to change, and my mind is
Is there a way to customize the Api you wanna use? I have a key and an endpoint it should be possible to paste it into the code without the preset models right?
Right now I dont have any API at all that I can use, therefore I cant ask the bot to add mine
one poeple can help me cor config in discord i don t understand for configure with llm studio
can anyone try this with their bot: in 2 minutes, come back to me with "Test"
Mine doesn't come back. Is that an issue on my side or bot side?
i'm also confused by this. i got openclaw gateway initially working with anthropic, and that was fine. i set up ollama with qwen3-coder and used an ollama command that changed my config. now i that one as default, and anthropic as fallback, but i don't know how to switch between them.
Anyone else is having a similar issue with the bot just not replying?
i did
when i hooked him up to telegram he would leave me on read
and would only reply to me through the webhook
It shows Typing… for a bit then disappears
I have my open claw access to my entire vps including sudo access and it just somehow deleted itself wha do I do
i had to uninstall the whole thing and made sure my git was updated and it worked after i set it all up again
just make sure your change your gateway token in the web app
I think it’s an issue with modern ai apis just not being good enough to support this without burning 10000000 tokens
there is no more file in ur user files?
Nah it just deleted the .openclaw folder I don't even know why 😭😭😭😭😭
I had openclaw on another machine, then it started replying twice for every telegram message, so I completely uninstalled it, installed on my mac, created a new tg bot and now this is happening
So it is a fresh install from yesterday
what the hell lmfao just reinstall it and make sure you talk to it and set a rule that it cant just put your system at risk for the sake of his safety and that he has to ask for permission for anything that might harm your device or his files
I'm reinstalling rn idk why he decided to sucide today
might have to just reinstall and make a newbot in the botfather because i had the same issue and thats the only thing that fixed it was reinstalling the whole thing and making a new bot
also
it helps
running the clawdbot off warp or claude
This is after reinstalling and making a new bot using botfather…
because it can debug for you
I've installed openclaw with ministral locally on my mac mini and I'm struggling to get openclaw to run anything itself. It only ever gives me instructions. I've had a look at elevating permissions but can't find any simple-ish instructions. How can I give openclaw sudo (I realise the security issues)?
I am technical and can debug myself. The problem is that the logs dont show any error.
yeah its because nothing is going through the gateway your gateway doesnt receive anything inbound
does he reply through the webhook?
I asked it to change my default model that's all too 😭😭😭
My gateway received the messages, i see it processing in the web portal, just doesnt reply
Why is there no users helping users voicr? That'd be helpful
Wanna hop on vc with me?
ask it why its not replying to you on telegram and just leaving you on read and see what it says
Should I send it in telegram or in the web?
the web
Ok
cuz the telegram it'll just leave you on read
Thabk you, and maybe later if your on later, right now im almost 90% done I think, ive got it on a VM talking to telegram and noe im linking it to ssh access to other droplets - and I listen to the other voice channel at same time but its to advanced sometimes
Hi! New user here...
Not sure if I should ask this here or in the Help channel, but...
I'm running Openclaw on a Raspberry Pi4 2GiB. Which is actually pretty good. I use Gemini Flash API's (free tier, $250 credit bc I entered payment details but it'll be free for 90 days with $250 balance).
Anyway, maybe I'm considering getting a Raspberry Pi5 8GB with the AI HAT+ 2 instead of burning through tokens on API's. Ofcourse I'll still be dependent on Gmail/Google Docs etc. API's for a bit as that is my 'root reason' to use Openclaw at all. I don't really vibe code with it, I just want peace and quiet in my brain from daily tasks and it'll help me organize.
Now, the AI Hat+ can do some LLM work but it seems to be specific models. Is it possible to interface Openclaw with one of those models that'll definitely work on the Pi5 with AI Hat+ 2? Or am I thinking too simplistic...
how to antigravity auth without cli installation?
wwhat
howw
WTF?
me tooo
WTF IM NOT BULLYING THE POOR GUY AM I
everyone said 5$/month, i spent 20$ in few minuntes
Yeah
My session limits are gone in an hour with Claude Max plan
Something is clearly off
Is the website offline again?
How in the gods green earth do u somehow oof yourself twice
When I use Claude in my Terminal for vibecoding it's not using up nearly that fast
dont use claude plan you might get banned by anthropic
really?
can anyone try this with their bot: in 2 minutes, come back to me with "Test"
Mine doesn't come back. Is that an issue on my side or bot side?
heard so on youtube not sure it happened or not yet but better safe than sorry
So ya'll are using the API?
i use glm coding plan
glm?
from z ai
Yeah that one is good
nope
GLM is just cheaper. Like 30USD for a years worth api
Oh wow
6 dollar a month plan never ran out with me
And it works good with Openclaw?
also i am not a heavy openclaw user so keep that in mind
Cause Opus is like the giga brain
Ah I see
I am doing lots of background jobs with him
I will give another model a try then
how do you pay for it tho? I tried to set it up via their website i cant recharge the blaance!
ah then glm might reach limits with you, you better switch multiple models you can get opus from anti gravity from google ai pro plan, i do that and use opus from it whenever needed not all the time
is "New Session" supposed to start a parallel session or wipe the previous session?

Hi!
any ideas why i dindt have a chat output?
Can anyone help me to properly setup open router with fallback?
My openclawe bot is failing to execute it and goes offline everytime, been going back and forth for hours now.
Hey guys
What is the best practice to run a restricted agent (very limited tools, one mcp tool or one specific exec command and not full exec).
Does using elevated inherits the exec limitations set on the agent?
{
"agents": {
"summarizer": {
"security": "allowlist",
"allowlist": [
{ "pattern": "**/mcporter" }
]
}
}
}
Will this in combination with elevated allow the sub agent to call the mcp only on the host or my entire direction is wrong ?
guys useful tip, tell the agent to backup all his md files, settings, the entire folder in another folder somewhere on the vps if you using one then initialize git there and give the agent git token so it can push that so you can access it from your machine, it keep deleting its own files it's so annoying
@weary monolith which model are you using
GLM 4.7, opus 4.5 from antigravity when needed not all the time, Codex 5.2 for coding tasks
i have more than 1 bot
so GLM 4.7 is the way?
can anyone try this with their bot: in 2 minutes, come back to me with "Test"
Mine doesn't come back. Is that an issue on my side or bot side?
cnat grantee for sure, if you not using it 24/7 i would say yes it's

First I installed ClawdBot on my own MacBook and I was mindblown, it was proactive without me telling him what to do. Then I bought a Mac mini and installed openclaw and since then it is not proactive anymore, it forgets all the things it wants to do. Even reoccurring tasks it created for itself it forgets it to do. I already tested many memory skills and memory searching is working
Nah you need to book one of their plans
BTW what is up with the website?
guys what exactly does me enabling this do?
What are some clever ways to save on tokens?
even after manual interbention I'm hearing that there might be issues with cron jobs right now, or failing to handle more than 1
Anyone know what happened to the Google chrome extension??
anyone know if the Android APK companion app is released? Claude told me to come here. Cant see any answers in the help section.

Anyone can help-me with this error that my bot is having. It can not start the tasks that in is cron list. Here is the error:
The openclaw cron status output indicates:
{ "enabled": true, "storePath":
"/Home/thiago/.openclaw/cron/ jobs. json", "jobs": 4,
"nextWakeAtMs": null }
The problem here is "nextwakeAtMs" : null. This means that although the cron service is enabled and there are 4 jobs, there is no upcoming execution scheduled in the future. For some reason, the cron is not calculating or recording when the next task should be triggered, even if the tasks are defined.

openclaw gateway restart this for restarting the gateway but if you wanted to config use openclaw configure
This is not fixing the issue

then its api access issue, could be for many reason, what provider and what tier (free, plus, pro) or api key?
Mine is also not being very proactive, promises to be, has a list of stuff it wants to think about, but never does it.
I think because it keeps just giving HEARTBEAT_OK, which then just skips everything else :/

Hey everyone, has anyone had issues with their bot telling you that they are doing tasks but then just not messaging you when they have been completed or just not doing them unless you constantly prompt them? Also scheduled tasks not being sent through.
Yeah, same here. One issue I’ve personally faced is that when you ask the bot to generate an image, if the nano-banana-pro image generation doesn’t work as expected or takes too long, the request times out. As a result, the bot ends up responding with just text instead of the image.
i received pairing code i need enter this at openclaw

I solved this by going to github page: github.com/settings/copilot/features

Yes, not sure what to do.

My single agent or bot is struggling with a few things and I am looking for pointers. 1) continues to enter periods of being idle even when lots of open tasks for it to do in the backlog. The agent goes idle not the computer system. 2) bot struggles to multi task - meaning context switching and continue to keep focus on priorities. 3) it’s medium and long term memory about things we discuss and details, requests and I think it intersects a bit into 2). 4) the bot is simply not self improving no matter how many lessons I teach it I see lots of repeated mistakes and I wonder if I am simply overloading one agent and expecting it can act as a much better and capable agent over broad roles. I am going to move to distribute some tasks and specialized roles which may help but any pointers or best practices for anything above that may help me navigate and improve on any of these?
If anyone here has overcome issues with cron/heartbeat and time based events, please hit me up. Just trying to receive simple pings at specific times or intervals. Cron seems to be executing fine but other things are failing and I can't figure them out.

anyone sucess hosting a lm studio server and connect openclaw to it from another computer?
I can do this with ollama but cant with lm studio
I though all i need to do is change the port and the id of the model in the openclaw.json? how come I stuck at this stage for 2 days 🙁
Is there a way I don't have to approve every command?
Same
100% I was getting so frustrated after the last 24 hours repeatedly seeing this symptom that I’m now having it work on over engineering a system to try to basically give it memory ensure that it does what it says it’s gonna do and ensure it’s constantly working as it doesn’t seem like it is. I didn’t realize others may be seeing the same behavior. It makes it un useful honestly.
But even in my attempts to have it do this it stops working on that task
It’s not an agent at this point it’s acting as a simple Q&A system. Honestly, that’s good for one shotting requests.
which one is glm?
I’m seeing a theme here across different posts, it’s not really following through and doing what it say it’s going to do or at least I’m not seeing it across tasks that span beyond a few minutes even when I tell it to come back to me every 15 minutes with progress on what it’s working on it can’t even manage to execute on that. I am operating with version 2026.1.30
In the openclaw Ui my bot just stopped responding to me. Everything is connected and was working fine, just stopped responding. Anyone have any advice or experiencing the same thing?
Run "Openclaw status" that should give you an idea the issue. Happened to me and said I have a Reverse Proxy warning ⚠️ I have to sort out now. It all started for me when I tried to implement Docker
Have you asked it to set up Long and Short term memory files? I had to manually ask it to do this for me because it forgot everything after day 1 lol
You can have a regular AI Chat ChatGPT or Grok do that for you for free. Your Openclaw bot is best used to create things for you
Hey there, since today I have the issue that my clawd is supposed to do something but instead of firing of the command on the shell it sends it to me in the telegram channel and then just stops doing anything. using kimik2.5 via synthetic api. Any clues here?
Yeah sounds like it would be best to have it focus on 1 thing first and spin subagents for multi tasking
I get the same warning as you but Im running it locally so not sure that is why its not responding. Did you get it sorted your end
Maybe you need to be a Moderator
I am the owner
Ahh lol
Is the official documentation failing to load for anybody else too right now?
oh nevermind it literally just came back
I actually was in the process of doing that and it can’t even execute beyond a few minute task. It says it’s gonna do all this and then if it needs to work on anything over a minute or two it just stops working and just sits there until I poke it again.
So my issue isn’t even memory at this point my issue is my boss can’t execute any tasks beyond what seems like one shot request without me constantly controlling it. One shot request at a time it just goes idle.
I’m on version 2026.1.30 and I see another user in the Help channel this morning posted what looks like the identical issue is me and they’re using a different underlying model
Did you get it sorted your end?
Unavailable again. Can anybody else confirm?
My credits are disappearing quickly. Looking at my usage data from the last 24 hours:
Feb 3rd Usage (Opus 4.5):
∙ Cache write tokens: 4.5M
∙ Cache read tokens: 83M
∙ Regular input tokens: 1,076
∙ Output tokens: 149K
What I Think Is Happening:
∙ Looks like I have a ~4-5M token context that’s being cached
∙ That cached prompt is being reused across ~18-20 API calls per day
∙ Even with the 90% cache read discount, Opus 4.5 pricing on 83M tokens adds up fast

1. Is a 4-5M token context normal? What are you all running?
2. Should I drop to Sonnet 4 or Haiku for most interactions and only escalate to Opus when needed?
3. Any tips for reducing context size while keeping the bot useful?
4. How are you handling conversation history — am I maybe loading too much?
Appreciate any suggestions
Can anyone tell me how to change my OpenRouter API key in OpenClaw? I have tried going through the wizard several times but when I choose OpenRouter API key, it just moves on to the next step - no option to input a key. I already have an API key in the env variables but I deleted that key and need to use a new one. I can't find the env variables file and cannot find a place in the clawdbot.json file to input either. I have tried the onboard and configure commands and used all the wizards I can find, but nothing is giving a place to input an OpenRouter API key. Even on the web interface, the only settings I can find are for an OpenRouter email address.
It's driving me crazy lol.
https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/guides/openclaw-integration
SEnd your bot this doc to analyze and then he will setup the configuration and change the API key
I can't use my bot because the API key isn't working, that's the issue. And when it was working, it hid the API keys for security - now I can't find them lol
it should be in your openclaw.json or models.json file
Hi, has anyone set up openclaw with portainer and ollama? I keep on getting some nodejs error in my gateway container. Should i not be running image: ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest?
guys i have problem with my gateway there is anything to solve it they said in the terminal no close found the gateway keep getting closed when i use openclaw onboard command
Is it possible to run Openclaw on Aws using deepseek api
Yes, but why aws?
What’s everyone’s settings for models to best optimize api usage
can anyone try this with their bot: in 2 minutes, come back to me with "Test"
Mine doesn't come back. Is that an issue on my side or bot side?
Its free. But are there better options
I'm having the same issue. Been looking into it for days.
Same issue same issue here I found other users having the same issue look above at my post about 22 minutes ago at 8:03 edt
There are a few of us organizing in the help channel on this very topic you’ll see in the top
The sub channel under help is “responses don’t finish”
So far, we’re all using different models and different model providers, but it’s a small data set and there’s no errors in the log to indicate there would be issues
Do we need to create a GitHub issue to track this ? Is there one?
By the way, I did the exact test you said and it failed
How can I give my bot full access on the host its running?
I've already set
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"elevatedDefault": "full",
But seems it cann use this when I'm chatting via telegram
I want the good old "full-root" bot again 🙁
It’d be good to know if someone can run this test that believes their system is working healthy to prove that this should work
The other user in the Health channel I mentioned with the same symptoms of me did this test also didn’t work
Looking for Help Optimizing My Model Setup
I’ve been tracking my usage over the past week and noticed things have escalated quickly. On Jan 26, I was running a mix of Opus 4, Opus 4.5, and Sonnet 4 — my cache writes were around 284K tokens, cache reads around 2.2M, and output around 20K tokens across maybe 8-10 calls per day. Fast forward to Feb 3 and I’m now exclusively on Opus 4.5 with cache writes at 4.5M tokens, cache reads at 83M, and output at 149K across roughly 18-20 calls.
I thought I’d use Opus 4.5 as the orchestrator thinking it wouldn’t rack up many turns — turns out that’s not the case. Even with the cache read discount, running 83M tokens through Opus 4.5 adds up fast and I’m burning through credits.
For those of you running multi-model setups — what’s your orchestration strategy? Are you using a cheaper model as the router and only escalating to Opus for complex tasks? What model are you using for the orchestrator role? Any suggestions appreciated
two persistent issues -- 1) i want Telegram or discord messages where i can see the typing as it happens. I see snippets of documentation that makes me think this is possible, does anyone have this. 2) memory issues... after 3 weeks of use, memory is degrading quite a bit.
And on top of everything, Krill seems to be broken right now and is unable to help out as well
Which free openrouter modell is allowed and good to use for start?
so tried to add openai api and now i get this error Config validation failed: auth.profiles.openai:default.mode: Invalid input
doctor and restart in a loop how can i fix this?
Can anybody access the documentation at the moment? I've been trying to open it for ages
its on fire
In a good or a bad way?
trying to add a second agent and having real difficulty. Not sure if supposed to create a seprate workspace per agent ?
guys i selected openai/gpt-5.2-pro as the auth provider and now my telegram bot says i've exceeded my current quota
Pre-compaction memory flush. Store durable memories now (use memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md; create memory/ if needed). If nothing to store, reply with NO_REPLY.
My reply:
use memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md; create memory, but nothing works it seems.
Please, for the love of God can someone else please try the two minute hello world test mentioned above many of us can’t get our bots to execute
It is coming when I changed the model from gemini flash to opus
I had this a little bit ago. Took a while to figure out, I believe commands are allowlisted by default in channels. For discord, you're looking at channels.discord.guilds.<guild_id> and then add a field users. This is an array of user ids (strings not ints). Not sure what users so I just put me and the bot
i managed to make this run on an aws with openrouter. i did what someone said here, and credited 10 bucks to it to have more availabe free models usage. for the ones that are doing the same, what's the best model to use ?
how did you setup your compaction, did you do anything custom and got any suggestions? I think right now just using safeguard settings
I was reading on the docs but there still something I don't exactly comprehend enough to make the appropriate choice
Actually i setup my open claw with google antigravity gemini flash model, it does the planning well, but for the implementation i want to change it to google antigravity claude opus, i changed it from config, hut after change it stuck use memory .... No reply, it only works again when i rechanged it to flash
what happens when you rerank a model first
@lean helm hope you got my point.
sometimes on model switchs it seems to get stuck on trying to access the previous model, until it gets a respone it doensn't switch.
tho you can go into the session.json and agent.json and change it manually and then restart the gateway, that usually fixes it for me
this, I'm doing the same, but I guess not
you can see if its stuck on an old model, with the openclaw status command
guess more about was there any specifics in the config for compaction you may have applied
No only changed the model to opus @lean helm
ah okay all good then
You don't need to create it, set it up correctly in openclaw.json and it will create the workspace for you, presuming you want different workspaces per agents. Multiple agents is one of the few things I've managed to get working okay, message me if you have any other questions.
Guys quick question.
Im using gpt 4.0 mini now for simple tasks/sub agents.
Yet feb 13 open AI is gonna stop with the gpt 4 models.
I want to switch too gpt-5 mini but my bot says it cant use it yet.
Do i need to wait till openclaw itself implements it or?
just change it manually, it is available 🙂
Why did my update fail? Anyone can help please?
Ran openclaw update after I learnt there's an update available but somehow ran into this global error thing: https://gist.github.com/moses3k/a87289dfe47062f8e0772d9012b3d5b4
how can i save session history? does clawd remember things from sessions? seems like not
My thought exactly lol.
Will add manually.
Any idea of the command to get me back in the set up? 😂
I saw on X some things of people adjusting the memory.
I just explicitly ask it to save it and load it back in at every heartbeat 🤣
hitting you up with direct msg, need basic help this exact topic
You can ask the bot how to find the models manually in your files then go there, or ask him for the terminal command.
Thanks fam 🫡
ingeresting- how do you ask it adjust the memory?
im also running into lots of ratelimiting issues- which model/setup have people been using that balances quality and cost/accessibility?
Im still searching trough all the X noise to find a correct one.
Lots of fakers claiming things.
But indeed sometimes the bot seems to 'forget' some things.
If you Point him at it he then remembers strangely
I'm using 5-mini at the moment
i asked my bot to do a research online and x about best practices for memory, then i told him to create long form memory and short form memory, be proactive and suggest things that you think will help us to save memory, he did great job
Main brain for me Kimi 2.5 and subagents open AI gpt 5 mini i want.
Waaaaaaaay cheaper the opus
Youve set it up manually in settings?
I am using openrouter + glm4.7 as a brain, works great, then ask him to make a plan to save tokens and API costs, now im using not more than $3-5 per day while promting him all the time
how do you set up this type of orchiestration with one main model and sub models for agents?
