Liberate your OpenClaw 🦀

Anthropic has restricted access to Claude models for Pro/Max subscribers using open agent platforms, but alternatives on Hugging Face provide cost-effective solutions to keep OpenClaw, Pi, or Open Code agents operational. Users can either opt for models hosted through Hugging Face Inference Providers, which is the quickest option for regaining functionality, or run models locally for greater privacy and control. For hosted solutions, users need to create a token and integrate it with OpenClaw, with recommended models like GLM-5 offering strong performance. Alternatively, running models locally with tools like Llama.cpp allows for zero API costs and full control, accommodating different hardware requirements. This ensures users can maintain their agents without relying on closed hosted models.
