That log usually means: your configured default model (or a fallback/alias) is still resolving to anthropic/..., even if you added a custom local provider. Defining a provider in models.json does not automatically switch the agent to use it.

A couple key gotchas from the docs:

  • The default model is agents.defaults.model.primary.
  • If you omit the provider, OpenClaw currently assumes anthropic as a fallback.
    (So primary: "opus" or any provider-less ref can drag you back to Anthropic.)
  • Model refs are parsed by splitting on the first /, so for your model id that already contains /, you must set it like:
    custom-shipshape-ai-8079/mistralai/Ministral-3-14B-Instruct-2512-GGUF
    (provider prefix + the full model id)

What I’d check (and please paste output if it’s still confusing)

openclaw --version
openclaw models status --plain
openclaw config get agents.defaults.model
#

Typical fix (set your local model as the default)

Either via the models command:

openclaw models set "custom-shipshape-ai-8079/mistralai/Ministral-3-14B-Instruct-2512-GGUF"
openclaw gateway restart

Or directly in config:

openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary "custom-shipshape-ai-8079/mistralai/Ministral-3-14B-Instruct-2512-GGUF"
openclaw gateway restart

If you want local-only (no Anthropic fallbacks)

Also make sure you don’t have Anthropic in fallbacks:
