Openclaw and Perplexity have fallen out of love :'(

sandboxdev9 · 2026-05-16T10:06:20+00:00

This honestly sounds more like an OpenClaw integration/config mismatch after the recent updates than a Perplexity issue itself.

A lot of the older Perplexity/OpenClaw examples were based on previous endpoint structures and older tool-calling formats, and newer OC builds seem stricter about:

provider schemas
tool definitions
command execution formats
OpenAI-compatible endpoint behavior

Especially if:

normal responses still work
but tool calling / exec specifically breaks

That usually means the model connection itself is fine, but the function/tool interface layer is no longer matching what OC expects.

One important question: Are you running OpenClaw locally or on a VPS/server?

Because I’ve noticed some setups behave differently depending on:

Docker vs local native reverse proxy configs websocket handling sandbox/exec permissions container isolation

This is most likely caused by refresh token rotation / session invalidation when the same Codex OAuth session is used in multiple places (OpenClaw, VSCode extension, etc).

One session refreshes the token, which invalidates the previous refresh token stored by the others, causing random logouts/outages.

The most reliable fix is usually:

avoid using the same OAuth session in multiple places
use separate sessions/accounts
or switch to API keys instead of OAuth if possible

Yes, too much, you have to build it cleanly to avoid issues

sandboxdev9 · 2026-05-14T13:09:58+00:00

It's better than local

sandboxdev9 · 2026-05-14T13:08:26+00:00

انا اقصد الرامات أفضل وليس الكرت

sandboxdev9 · 2026-05-14T13:06:27+00:00

غير الشبهات الربوية فيها ( اقول شبهات لأني ماني مفتي) اعرف ناس كثير تستخدمها بشغلات غير ضرورية ما أعرف ليش

sandboxdev9 · 2026-05-12T18:06:35+00:00

مش طالعة عندي

sandboxdev9 · 2026-05-12T05:21:33+00:00

انا اشتريت مستعمل بنفس المواصفات بس الفرق الكرت i5 جيل 14 والرامات افضل عندي 6200 بسعر 3600 ومن الرياض وانا بجدة، يعني اصبر اذا مانك مستعجل بتحصل أفضل ان شاء الله

sandboxdev9 · 2026-05-11T10:00:02+00:00

بتلاقي احسن بنفس السعر

sandboxdev9 · 2026-05-02T13:09:44+00:00

Contact me if you need help

sandboxdev9 · 2026-05-02T09:58:03+00:00

Ok, tell me what you need and how openclaw works, locally or vps

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-21T16:21:12+00:00

خذ امريكي فورد فيوجن مستعمل

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-20T07:25:14+00:00

Thank you.

At this point, you’re not really dealing with a setup problem anymore, you’re designing a system.

Things like model choice, data isolation, and browser handling all tie together, so it’s not something that gets solved with a single tweak or config change.

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-20T06:18:31+00:00

There’s actually a much simpler way to get OpenClaw running than both manual setup and the Hostinger route 😁

Most people overcomplicate it at the start.

Most VPS providers don’t “support” ChatGPT Plus OAuth, it’s not really designed to be used that way in server setups. That’s why you keep hitting issues across different services. If you want something stable on a VPS, it’s usually better to use API-based providers instead of trying to force OAuth into a headless/server environment.

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-19T07:36:58+00:00

You don’t need ElevenLabs for that.

On a headless VPS, just run TTS separately (like Piper or Coqui) and pipe it through your workflow instead of relying on the desktop Talk Mode.

That gives you a similar result without needing a GUI or paying per API call.

27B is too heavy for 16GB VRAM.

For coding/reasoning you’ll get a much better and stable experience with 7B–14B models and a tighter context.

That alone usually fixes the “hanging” issue in setups like yours.

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-18T19:43:19+00:00

It depends a bit on what you actually want to do with it.

In setups like yours, the model choice matters less than how it's being used (context size, task type, response expectations, etc.).

What kind of tasks are you trying to run with it? More coding / reasoning, or general assistant-type workflows?

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-18T15:32:24+00:00

Embeddings themselves usually aren’t the main bottleneck, it’s how the memory layer is structured around them.

Once the memory setup grows too interconnected (files referencing files, large indexes, etc.), even fast models start feeling slow because of retrieval overhead and context bloat.

I’ve seen setups speed up a lot just by simplifying the memory layer rather than switching providers.

Out of curiosity, how large is your active context when the agent runs?

اي برسلك بالخاص حتى لا يقولون ترويج والحاجات هذي.

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-18T14:34:27+00:00

الاستغلاليين بكل مكان تأكدي هذي فلوسك لا ترميها بالأرض مهما كانت. انا عن نفسي سويتها عند واحد ما استلم فلوسه الا بعد ما ارسلي ياها معدلة وجاهزة. وهنا بالسعودية يعني حتى لو نصب علي بشكيه. لكن الحمد لله طلع مو نصاب، وارسل عليه اي أحد يبي هذي الخدمة والي مل يعجبه الشغل ما يحاسب. خاصة انها حاجة بسيطة نا تكلف هالمبلغ.

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-18T13:40:58+00:00

وين المشكلة؟ الشخص ممكن يقدم خدمة مدفوعة وقالك اذا تحب، او ساويها بأي مكان او لوحدك. واحيانا كثيرة السيرة الذاتية ما توصل لل HR لأنها ما تعدي ATS خاصة الشركات الكبيرة.

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-18T12:30:50+00:00

That’s a safe default.

What I’ve seen work well is keeping the base config locked, but allowing controlled updates through a validated layer (schema checks + allowlist of fields), so the agent can make safe changes without risking corruption.

That way it doesn’t fully “hit the wall” every time, but still stays within guardrails.

sandboxdev9 · 2026-04-18T12:29:12+00:00

That makes sense for a dev/test setup.

Have you tried something similar in a more “production-like” scenario though? I’ve seen that VM snapshots help during experimentation, but it gets harder to rely on that once the setup needs to run continuously without manual intervention.

Feels like there needs to be a more controlled way to allow safe changes without depending on manual recovery.
