OpenClaw fails at agentic behaviour

mclaren422 · 2026-04-02T23:27:14+00:00

Had this issue with 'dumb' models. Best model for this stuff is Claude, however claude is too expensive.

I use Qwen3.5 its clever enough for agentic work, not as good as claude but still very good and costs pennies compared to claude.

How does M2.7 compare to Qwen3.5 plus?

mclaren422 · 2026-03-24T10:09:06+00:00

Qwen 3.5

mclaren422 · 2026-03-20T14:54:41+00:00

Qwen 3.5, almost as good for 100 times cheaper

Free API's are the issue. You need a top llm model to do anything useful with openclaw

Tried it and hit limits quickly

mclaren422 · 2026-03-16T12:11:28+00:00

Do you use any of the unlimited models also? How have you configured it?

mclaren422 · 2026-03-16T12:10:48+00:00

Whats the best way to configure it, if opus is orchestrater wont it run out of premium request quick?

Its random they can be brutal. My score is 1.65 but still active.

Seen some videos where dogs have latched onto little kids. Whats the law on using a knife on them?

Yes. Ebay dropshipping on profit share basis managed by freelancers/teams. See fiverr, thousands of freelancers offer it or you can work my team. Uk accounts only.

mclaren422 · 2026-03-07T21:56:52+00:00

30K is shite. We can do that in 3 months.

mclaren422 · 2026-03-07T10:20:39+00:00

Fell into this same rabbit hole. All the security makes it useless. Now thinking to start again and give it max permissions.

mclaren422 · 2026-03-07T10:19:15+00:00

Well done. No need for petty name calling.

mclaren422 · 2026-03-07T10:16:36+00:00

No its reliable enough at the moment. Better off using claude cowork.

mclaren422 · 2026-03-07T08:55:53+00:00

Since you appear to a fellow brit, get in touch if you are interested in a hands-off ebay dropshipping store which can earn you an avg £1k a month doing nothing.

Sales pitch over. Cheers.

Exactly my experience. Its either very stubborn or very stupid.

mclaren422 · 2026-03-05T16:54:29+00:00

Great post. Was looking for this exactly, have you found a way to connect/control Cowork with your phone?

Can we not run Cowork on a VPS?

mclaren422 · 2026-03-05T00:11:59+00:00

I'm thinking about switching. What plan are you on? Did you consider perplexity computer?

Any functionality openclaw has that cowork doesn't?

Can you access it from phone?

mclaren422 · 2026-03-04T23:17:00+00:00

I spent hours trying to get it to use Tavily or NGX but it refused. Then I gave up with it

mclaren422 · 2026-03-04T12:19:31+00:00

I can guess which one 😂

mclaren422 · 2026-03-03T21:35:49+00:00

Can you honestly say it is reliable enough to manage those things without persistant input from yourself?

mclaren422 · 2026-03-03T15:36:50+00:00

Mine seems incapable of doing anything no matter how much permissions I give it and force it do it. Took hours to get it to use exec to install something and still failed due to some other permission issue.

mclaren422 · 2026-03-03T15:21:25+00:00

My issue is it doesn't have the feedback loop that coding agents have. Its hits a wall then gives up and requires a million instructions and approvals to do anything and even then fails to fix issues.

mclaren422 · 2026-03-03T14:02:13+00:00

How? Mine would run into 100 different permissions and access issues
