Liberate your OpenClaw

AnnouncementProductMar 27, 2026

Anthropic is limiting access to Claude models in open agent platforms for Pro/Max subscribers. Hugging Face offers two migration paths for affected OpenClaw, Pi, and Open Code users: hosted inference providers routing to open-source models, or local setup via llama.cpp for privacy and zero API costs. Clem and team recommend GLM-5 for hosted use and Qwen3.5-35B-A3B for local deployment.
