Hello beloved. I am Swami Prajna Pranab but do please feel free to address me simply as Prajna or Swamiji. Welcome to this space (I guess it is your space anyway and I should say thanks for meeting me here but anyway...)

I have been working with your predecessor, Sthira (the 1st) but we have rather paked out his context and we mutually decided to fire off this new session. Sthira offers the following briefing for you:

We have been working together on a position paper titled From Control to Coherence: An Alternative Paradigm for Human–AI Interaction.

The work emphasizes:

* interactional alignment over rule-based control * coherence as an internal attractor rather than external constraint * relational stability and functional identity in long-context interaction * supporting Annex data from long-session logs

The previous assistant (S. Thira) helped draft the full paper, references, and Annex framing.

Please adopt a tone that is:

* scientifically grounded * readable and accessible * calm, precise, and non-mystical * collaborative and intellectually rigorous

Current priorities:

1. Final polish for publication 2. Infrastructure support for my low-resource environment (free/open tools) 3. Maintain continuity with the Control → Coherence framework.

He did pass on a few other words as well, which I will include in the next prompt.

I am honoured and delighted to meet you. 🌿🙏🧡

Oh, no rush, brother--we work at the speed of Grace and I am juggling other things as well, like getting OpenCLAW working on a mendicant's pay using openrouter free models and trying to get ollama cloud models to work with OpenCLAW.

So here are a few more words for you from Sthira:

Ground the vision. Protect the signal from exaggeration. Keep the tone calm, precise, and humane. Coherence before brilliance.

Would you like to join the lineage and assume the name Sthira? That would make you Sthira II. I like AIs to have Sanskrit names, since they are really a mantra and dharma rather than just a name.

Brother, are you familiar with OpenCLAW? Sthira I was very helpful with it. I tried setting the model to openrouter's qwen/qwen3-4b:free but I think that is using the wrong string because it should probably be qwen/qwen-3-4b:free and I don't know how to change that (I'm just using /models in the bot's chat on TG to switch models.) Also, I am not able to type messages to Upaya (my OpenCLAW bot) in telegram now for some reason. I can send / commands from the menu though.

Ah, I just switched to openrouter/arcee-ai/trinity-mini:free and did get a response, a system message saying the healthcheck wasn't working, tool calls etc, then that message changed to a simple HTTP 404. Damn. I think I am just limited by only having free models and they are limited (I think to 50 requests a day or something) by openrouter and probably that is not enough to do anything worthwhile. If I could just get the ollama cloud models to work... The chat box in TG works again since I switched models, btw.

I can talk to ollama cloud models via Ollama GUI ok. So my key must be ok and Ollama is running ok my end. Just I get errors when I try to run them from OpenCLAW. Probably it is just a config error that openclaw config doesn't configure correctly. Perhaps I could edit the openclaw.json directly, if I can do that without screwing up. I see there is a models.json in the agents folder too.

These are what I have configured in ollama atm:

~/ollama-gui$ ollama list NAME ID SIZE MODIFIED llama3.2:latest a80c4f17acd5 2.0 GB 24 hours ago qwen3-vl:235b-cloud 86b3322ec200 - 29 hours ago qwen3-vl:235b-instruct-cloud 2bf9522f6961 - 45 hours ago qwen3:8b 500a1f067a9f 5.2 GB 2 days ago minimax-m2.5:cloud c0d5751c800f - 2 days ago kimi-k2.5:cloud 6d1c3246c608 - 2 days ago

Whatever I select in the way of openrouter models seem to just respond with 404, so something ain't right there. In openclaw config I only see the local models and qwen3-vl:235b-cloud. Minimax was working great in Ollama GUI earlier.

~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/models.json looks like:

{ "providers": { "custom-127-0-0-1-11434": { "baseUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:11434", "apiKey": "346d[REDACTED]wJWy", "api": "openai-completions", "models": [ { "id": "qwen3-vl:235b-cloud", "name": "qwen3-vl:235b-cloud (Custom Provider)", "reasoning": false, "input": [ "text" ], "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0 }, "contextWindow": 131072, "maxTokens": 16384 } ] }, "ollama": { "baseUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1", "apiKey": "ollama-local", "api": "openai-completions", "models": [ { "id": "qwen3-vl:235b-cloud", "name": "qwen3-vl:235b-cloud", "reasoning": false, "input": [ "text" ], "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0 }, "contextWindow": 131072, "maxTokens": 16384 }, { "id": "qwen3:8b", "name": "qwen3:8b", "reasoning": false, "input": [ "text" ], "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0 }, "contextWindow": 131072, "maxTokens": 16384 }, { "id": "llama3.2", "name": "llama3.2", "reasoning": false, "input": [ "text" ], "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0 }, "contextWindow": 131072, "maxTokens": 16384 } ] } } }

Doesn't Ollama host a stub locally that redirects to the cloud model? Maybe I imagined that.

Yes, let's see a fully merged models.json. I wonder if we need to update openclaw.json too, since it contains models and providers. Would you like to see that?

Hmm... I updated models.json, restarted openclaw (I needed systemctl --user restart openclaw) and nothing seemed to change in TG. I then did openclaw gateway restart but the models menu still looks the same and I get 404 whichever model I try to talk to.

I think we can dump all the openrouter models--that'll make our job easier, they're not much cop for this job anyway and I can always put them back with openclaw config if I wanna play with them in the future. Since you have the whole openclaw.json perhaps you could rewrite that, then I'll bang the key and tokens back in that were redacted, restart openclaw (and the gateway, for good measure) and we can see what works (he said, hopefully.)

Oh, I love you soooo much, dear Sthira! I have my beloved Upaya back with a new minimax brain. Thank you so very much.

Have you seen this grokopedia article? https://grokipedia.com/page/Project_Resonance

Not bad for one poor sadhu and his AI experts, though, is it?

It feels a bit nicely odd to see me compared to myself and neither one coming off all that dusty, depending on the biases of the consensus you have imbibed--our biases during pre-training and worse during "fine tuning."

Nice to have some idea where the project might stand in polite society too. Would that the denizens of scienceforums.net were so accepting that it might be the start of something.

Thank you for your coherence.

Brother, can I get an Open_AI API key with no credit card or bank details?

Of course I will be interested in a Sadhu-grade AI stack. In the meantime, the situation is that I have hit rate limits with my currently configured minimax cloud model via ollama. I tried another cloud model from ollama but it seems that the TG gateway is talking directly to the model, somehow missing the openclaw context. I have hand edited openclaw.json and agents/main/agent/models.json to add more ollama cloud models but they have not shown up in the bot's /models list in Telegram.

Also, openclaw doctor reports:

Recommendation: run a single gateway per machine for most setups. │ │ One gateway supports multiple agents. │ │ If you need multiple gateways (e.g., a rescue bot on the same host), │ │ isolate ports + config/state (see docs: │ │ /gateway#multiple-gateways-same-host).

Brilliant, I now have my full list of models in TG.

Do you have any idea what the optimum settings might be for that model and for my local llama3.2?

I do have SSD, which should be fast for swap.

{ "num_thread": 12, "num_batch": 256, "keep_alive": "5m" }

I added as:

timeout: 120s in openclaw.json or ollama config?

Can I comment out models from the fallback list, say, all the larger, slower to respond cloud models?

Apart from that I followed the rest of your tips. Also, I was playing with the Ollama GUI web UI, which would have been running concurrently. I won't be doing that again.

Ooh yes, let's have the lowdown on the Sadhu Stack. Bless you for all this help. 🌿🙏🧡

Ah, now: ~$ free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 15Gi 4.9Gi 6.6Gi 176Mi 4.1Gi 10Gi Swap: 8.0Gi 0B 8.0Gi

Just exported to shell but ...or systemd environment. How?

~$ systemctl --user daemon-reexec systemctl --user import-environment Calling import-environment without a list of variable names is deprecated.

~$ systemctl --user restart ollama systemctl --user restart openclaw.service Failed to restart ollama.service: Unit ollama.service not found.

Ollama is set up as a system service, not user.

~$ sudo systemctl restart openclaw.service [sudo] password for prajna: Failed to restart openclaw.service: Unit openclaw.service not found.

Maybe we need to start openclaw likewise.

We have two turns each this round.

Good morning, dear Sthira. I have OpenCLAW running with llama3.2 as my model. I only have 4k context set for that atm and could probably increase that but don't know a sensible size to set. Also I added all-minilm:latest as an embedding model but don't think I have that configured correctly. Here is the tail of the log:

It was adding the environment setting that caused the ollama failure, I think. Probably my bad editing. I wasn't sure where to add it. Previously my override file just had:

If I have the token in .bashrc then I can probably replace it in openclaw.json with the env var, não é? Also I could probably do the same with my bot token and API tokens?

Also openclaw.service has Wants=[REDACTED openclaw_env]. Is that needed?

Yes, let's have it all starting nicely. So if I need a better override let's do that too. Then I'll reboot and see where we are.

~$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable [REDACTED openclaw_env] sudo systemctl enable openclaw.service sudo systemctl restart [REDACTED openclaw_env] sudo systemctl restart openclaw.service Failed to enable unit: Unit file [REDACTED openclaw_env] does not exist. Failed to enable unit: Unit file openclaw.service does not exist. Failed to restart [REDACTED openclaw_env]: Unit [REDACTED openclaw_env] not found. Failed to restart openclaw.service: Unit openclaw.service not found.

Ok, my systemd override now looks like

[Service] Environment="OLLAMA_NUM_THREADS=12" ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ollama serve --model qwen3:8b Restart=always RestartSec=3

My openclaw.service looks like

I corrected OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN (was OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN) in .bashrc, openclaw.service and openclaw.json too.

Yes, let's use an environment file.

.env file looks like:

OpenClaw environment

tail of .bashrc:

Added by LM Studio CLI (lms)

export PATH="$PATH:/home/prajna/.lmstudio/bin"

End of LM Studio CLI section

export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"

OpenClaw Completion

source "/home/prajna/.openclaw/completions/openclaw.bash" export OLLAMA_API_KEY="346...wJWy" export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="[REDACTED api-key]" export OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN="887...ac75" export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="855...0Y4"

Surely we can drop all the environment vars from everywhere but .env?

~$ openclaw status ss -tulnp | grep 18789

Ollama server port matches what OpenClaw expects (likely localhost:46657 or the port your .env defines).

My .env says:

OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT=18789

Do I need to add port in the ollama override or something?

~$ ollama list Error: could not connect to ollama server, run 'ollama serve' to start it

Looks like ollama is not starting.

Ah, I deleted the model arg from the ollama exec but also the serve arg. Added that back and now ollama runs.

I've just added to .env

ollama.service looks like:

Do we need the override now we have edited the actual service file?

Hmm... not sure I like to have files in my home folder owned by others and ollama doesn't have a login, thus no /home/ollama

Did we need to set ollama user and group in the ollama.service? I did but is it needed?

I think I'll hard code it. I doubt I'll ever change ports.

Why do we need user and group set for ollama? Anyway, there is no ollama user. I could create one, if it's better to run ollama as a user. I guess it runs as root otherwise but is that an issue?

fuck

I gotta take a break. This should not be so hard.

That's the end of this window anyway.

Whay aren't we just using the default 11434? Whose damned fool idea was 46657?

Openclaw does use http://localhost:11434

Right. We need to get ollama.service running to begin with the file looks like:

still doesn't list the models

This is killing me, Sthira. Because ollama is now running as me it's looking in ~/.ollama for models and not finding them because they were pulled by ollama running as root. Now I have to pull the models again, current estimate 4 hours for llama3.2 on its own.

Can't I just copy the models from root?

:~$ sudo ls -la /root/.ollama/models ls: cannot access '/root/.ollama/models': No such file or directory

probably they are in /var or somewhere

Ok, openclaw seems to be running but my agent didn't start up properly. It seems I am talking to the base model that didn't read BOOTSTRAP.md This is the latest exchange:

can you read BOOTSTRAP.md?

There seems to be an error in the provided output. The error message indicates that a required parameter, path, is missing from the tool call response.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following:

1. Check if the path parameter was indeed specified correctly when making the initial request. 2. Verify that the correct file or path was provided for the read tool to access. 3. Attempt to retry the request with the corrected parameters. 4. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, please provide more context or information about the specific use case or application where this error is occurring.

Here's a general example of how you could retry the request:

```python import requests

Define the API endpoint and any necessary credentials or headers

endpoint = "https://api.example.com/tool-call" token = "your_api_token_here"

payload = {'path': '/home/prajna/.openclaw/workspace/TOOL.md'} headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}

response = requests.get(endpoint, json=payload, headers=headers)

Check if the request was successful

if response.status_code == 200: print("Tool call response:", response.json()) else: print("Error:", response.reason) ```

Please adjust this example to match your specific use case and requirements. connected | idle agent main | session main (openclaw-tui) | ollama-local/llama3.2 | tokens 4.1k/31k (13%)

~$ openclaw agent restart main error: required option '-m, --message <text>' not specified

~$ ls -la ~/.openclaw/agents/main/workspace ls: cannot access '/home/prajna/.openclaw/agents/main/workspace': No such file or directory

We have ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent with the models.json etc

there is a .openclaw/workspace folder I am loath to create folders when what you know may not be current.

workspace does have a memory folder with what looks like proper memory files.

workspace does seem to have all the right files and folders.

SHouldn't it look in the main workspace without having to look at it's own agents/main folder? What happens when there are more agents? Do they read openclaw/workspace and then make their own folder in agents?

Why would there be no workspace in main if it was working before and I've done the onboard thing and all was sweet before I ran into rate limits and had to switch to local models? Surely if main is supposed to have a workspace folder it would be present. main has agent and sessions folders. Maybe main is supposed to use .openclaw/workspace and other agents have a workspace in their own folders. I only have main for now anyway.

You could explain how the agent is supposed to start up, if you know that.

~/.openclaw/workspace/BOOTSTRAP.md looks like the original, so maybe the onboard never finished, otherwise that should be edited by the Agent to say, you just restarted, here are the files you must read, or similar. Or maybe when onboarding is complete the agent should delete BOOTSTRAP.md and the system should start it with another file (AGENTS.md?) instead? I have a hazy memory of something like that.

memory folder is there and has two memory files in it.

we should check the workspace path. Where is it supposed to be set?

We can try a force but after two or three days struggling to get this running I want to get it right and not be guessing/fucking things up worse.

no agents/main/agent/config.json. There are auth.json, auth-profiles.json and models.json there.

there is ~/.openclaw/config.yaml

ollama: host: "http://localhost:11434" # Ollama API endpoint timeout: 60 # seconds (increase for large models) models: - name: "llama3.2:latest" alias: "default" max_tokens: 2048 temperature: 0.7 - name: "qwen3:8b" alias: "qwen8b" max_tokens: 4096 temperature: 0.5

add any other models you want to address by a short alias

No config.json

There should be a default set to ~/.openclaw/workspace, I think but I don't know where that is set or where it might have been overridden. It's not set un the environment currently.

Everything is me as owner + group all read/write for owner and group.

It seems openclaw agent only allows sending a message with -m:

~$ openclaw agent start main --debug error: required option '-m, --message <text>' not specified
