/models showing “anthropic (2)” usually doesn’t mean you have “two Anthropics installed” — it just means OpenClaw currently has 2 Anthropic model entries available/allowlisted.

The actual breakage is this line:

Unknown model: anthropic/claude-opus-4-6

That means your config/session is pointing at a model id your current OpenClaw build doesn’t recognize, so it fails before it can reply.

Try this in Discord:

  1. List the actual Anthropic model ids your instance knows:
  • /models anthropic
  1. Switch to one that appears in that list:
  • /model <provider/model-from-the-list> (or use the numbered picker via /model → /model 1, /model 2, etc.)

If you really want to “remove” one from the picker, that’s done by editing your config allowlist (agents.defaults.models) and deleting the unwanted entry (then restart). But you shouldn’t need to delete anything to get unbroken.

Yeah — if it reset to anthropic/claude-opus-4-5 and you’re no longer getting “Unknown model …4-6”, then you’re unbroken.

Re the “I selected 4.5 lol” vs “Model: Opus 4.6” confusion: that “Opus 4.6” line is almost certainly just a display name/alias, not the literal model id you selected.

To see what’s actually active, run:

  • /model status

If you truly want to run the explicit 4.6 model id, first check it exists:

  • /models anthropic
    then:
  • /model anthropic/claude-opus-4-6

If it’s not in /models anthropic, you can’t select it (yet) and should stick to what the list shows. Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/cli/models
