If you used a Claude subscription with OpenClaw, read this: Unfortunately all other AI models out there absolutely suck with OpenClaw compared to Opus It's just a fact and anyone denying this is delusional So here is my new recommended OpenClaw setup: Pay for the Opus API and use it as your orchestrator Then use other models as the execution layer If you do this correctly, yes your costs will go up, but not by as much as you think I use my ChatGPT subscription as the coding execution. GPT 5.4 is excellent at coding. When The Opus orchestrator gives a coding task to the ChatGPT subagent, it always performs really well If you are on the Pro plan, you should have enough usage to have ChatGPT be the execution layer for every task. But if youre on the $20 a month plan, youre going to need other subscriptions to handle other tasks GLM 5.1 and Qwen are excellent. I'd get a cheap sub through them and have them handle all other tasks given to them from the orchestrator The best setup tho if you have the hardware is Opus API for orchestrator, ChatGPT for coding, then local Gemma 4 and local Qwen handling everything else. Right now have Gemma running on my DGX Spark and Qwen 3.5 on my Mac Studio. They handle all other execution from my Opus API orchestrator Unfortunately all options above will cost more than the $200 a month subscription. It just is what it is. But if you optimize correctly it wont cost much more, and you'll still get frontier performance. OpenClaw is the most powerful piece of software ever released. $200 a month ($2,400 a year) was a steal for a digital employee. Honestly anything under $50,000 a year is a no brainer if you run a serious business. The situation isn't great but you also need to face reality: Claude Opus 4.6 is the best model for OpenClaw. If you use any other model, your productivity will suffer Business is a battlefield and I refuse to fall behind, so despite me not being happy with the Anthropic decision the setup above is what I'm going with Virtue signaling might get me brownie points on the internet, but it won't increase my productivity
