open claw?

hi,
Has anyone tried integrating g4f with OpenClaw?

Hey there, I made this:

Short answer: Yes but not in a “native, official integration” sense. It’s more like experimental / indirect support rather than a clean plug-and-play setup.
What actually exists
Recent updates to gpt4free (g4f) added an OpenClaw setup script, which is a strong signal that people are using them together:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xtekky/gpt4free/main/scripts/setup-openclaw.sh | bash
OpenClaw itself is designed to work with external LLM backends, not tied to any specific provider.
What that means in practice
OpenClaw doesn’t care what model you use it just needs an API-compatible backend.
g4f can act as a proxy/free provider layer, so people:
plug g4f into OpenClaw as the “LLM backend”
or wrap g4f behind an API that OpenClaw understands
Reality check (important)
There’s no widely documented, stable integration guide (like there is for Claude/OpenAI/etc.)
Most setups are:
custom configs
patched adapters
or using scripts like the one above
Why you don’t see many answers on GitHub
Because:
OpenClaw is still new and evolving fast
g4f is unofficial and constantly breaking
The combo is fragile + hacky, so fewer people publicly recommend it

and can you mark the conversations as resolved
