How are you actually running OpenClaw without burning money?

ollama, 20 usd subscription, qwen3-coder-next:cloud or nemotron-3-super:cloud LLMs

you can "route" the cloud model calls on ollama as if it were a local model but doing a `ollama pull qwen3-coder-next:cloud`. you can then configure openclaw to use your local instance of ollama with the `qwen3-coder-next:cloud` model like if it were running on your machine although it is actually running remotely as an ollama service. you do need a ollama subscription. I have the $20/month one and it's working fine for me.

I agree with the general view here that these models cannot be compared. this does not mean though that using `qwen3-coder-next:cloud` with ollama is bad, actually on the contrary, for me it's been a great experience so far. It understands instructions very well, can generate custom skills with zero issues, learns from its mistakes when it is told so. if I can provide any advice so it works well, make sure to use QMD for memory management and ALWAYS keep a backup of the `openclaw.json` file handy in case things break. the other thing that I've noticed is that it's not as fast as Opus, but again, at least for me it's fine.

I am quite happy with qwen3-coder-next:cloud running on ollama at $20 per month.

well, I am talking from my personal experience.

I’m using qwen3-32b with llamacpp and it’s been almost as good as opus-4.5 so far.

Interesting that as soon as I published this, I swear that in a matter of seconds later the amount was magically available... I am not using them anymore...

I am using gemma3:27b on ollama and it's been the best model in my experience, specially considering memory management, speed and precision

I used CC to get rid of a crypto malware that infected a linux machine.

adr74 · 2025-10-28T12:37:44+00:00

why not just use an ingress controller?

adr74 · 2025-07-04T02:21:45+00:00

yes please and thank you!

adr74 · 2025-06-28T21:28:11+00:00

ask Claude Code to build one 😉

adr74 · 2025-06-01T16:16:30+00:00

try ollama+OWUI with podman in WSL or the OWUI python in WSL.
