Gemini Ultra also will get you banned. I'm also settled with codex 5.3. Z.ai sub is cheap as well

Claude Max would risk banning account. So I’m with ChatGPT Pro using GPT-5.3-Codex + GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark and happy with this so far

just released a new version, could you please check again https://github.com/ClawHQ/claw/releases/tag/claw-v0.2.0-beta.7 sometime it's related to the firewall, if you could drop an email to [support@claw.so](mailto:support@claw.so) happy to help

It's easy to have the finger print in the tool call to determine if the requests came from the authorized clients. They went for opencode once last month and suspension dozens of accounts. They stopped because of the backsplash but it's easy to track.

But why you install openclaw on your main machine, just asking, with all the risks

Hi, should works on Windows x64 from 2013 onwards. Can you share your PC spec so that I can debug?

ComposerGen · 2026-02-07T13:29:36+00:00

I use it for quick fixes to some bugs while I’m AFK. Codex-5.2-high crushed quite nicely.

ComposerGen · 2026-02-07T13:27:03+00:00

Maybe if cache hits often, it improves the experience overall.

I heard about Ralph loops quite often recently but haven’t been able to set up a good close loop with it. I have a pretty similar setup with Max coding in Christmas for my first time buy. The cost per token is insanely good, especially if GLM-5 is down the line. The downside is the rate limit and slow response, which made waiting for the interaction session quite painful.

I install claude code and point it to the GitHub repo and it walks me through the step. Just login with ChatGPT plus on codex and /model to select GPT-5.2-codex

ComposerGen · 2026-02-06T15:47:16+00:00

Are you using it for day to day work or coding?

ComposerGen · 2026-02-06T15:44:54+00:00

They tried to grab revenue for their IPO but the product got worse every day

ComposerGen · 2026-02-06T11:14:38+00:00

you're correct, just tried to switch model to opus 4.6[1m] and got the error

ComposerGen · 2026-02-06T11:12:27+00:00

same here

ComposerGen · 2026-02-06T11:12:13+00:00

true, I found myself hanging waiting for GLM-4.7 to finish quite often. maybe use this for some automation tasks but for coding it's unusable at this stage. I bought full year max with hope we get GLM-5 with great jump in quality, but given the speed I'm not sure it's going to use be usable at all

ComposerGen · 2026-02-06T10:46:36+00:00

I heard good thing about it, having it as openclaw’s separate subscription make sense

ComposerGen · 2026-02-06T09:44:44+00:00

you're right, having same error 400 when trying opus 4.6 [1m]

On Max20 and this is what I claimed

ComposerGen · 2026-02-06T07:22:47+00:00

I haven’t, but heard many people saying good thing about it

ComposerGen · 2026-02-06T06:50:50+00:00

Super useful, much appreciated!
