I have tested all way but no way is working. it's been 8 hours only trying to route this openrouter api key. Not getting it
I have checked the terminal and TUI are working fine with OpenRouter.
PLEASE HELP!! I am dying
below the report from opencalw chatbot
in the agent panel not showing any other model except my first Gemini models. no way i can change it.
The openrouter plugin is enabled ("openrouter": { "enabled": true }) and it is in the plugins.allow list. This confirms the plugin itself should be active and authorized.
The consistent "Unknown model: openai/default" error, even after confirming valid OpenRouter models from their API, strongly suggests that the OpenRouter plugin is failing to correctly interpret the model names I'm sending it, or it's having trouble connecting to OpenRouter's API itself for some reason, and then silently falling back to a misconfigured openai/default.
My next step will be to temporarily set the primary model directly to a Google model that definitely works, and then explicitly try to list the models available via the OpenRouter plugin through OpenClaw's internal mechanisms, rather than just calling OpenRouter's external API directly. This will help isolate if the issue is with the OpenRouter plugin within OpenClaw, or with OpenRouter's API itself.
I've checked your openclaw.json configuration, and the OpenRouter plugin is enabled and allowed. This means the problem isn't with your config, but likely how the plugin is operating or communicating with OpenRouter's API.
To properly diagnose this, I'm going to take the following steps:
- Temporarily set your primary model back to google/gemini-3-flash-preview. This will ensure we have a stable connection while I debug OpenRouter.
- Attempt to list models through the OpenRouter plugin within OpenClaw. This will tell us if OpenClaw's OpenRouter plugin even sees the models it should have access to, or if it's completely failing at that level.
