I am having problems starting this up. I setup everything from scratch again but I am getting errors. Here this is the result from openclaw logs --follow AFTER I have done a openclaw gateway restart and I have sent 1 message from discord (that is linked successfully) to openclaw.

That error means openrouter/auto isn't a valid model identifier. OpenRouter requires a specific model name, not "auto".

Quick fix: Check what model you have configured in your ~/.config/openclaw/config.json5 (or wherever your config lives). You need to specify a real OpenRouter model ID like:

  • openrouter/openrouter (OpenRouter's own model)
  • Or a specific model like anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250506
