A Bridge to Frontier Intelligence

OpenClaw provides a native, low-latency bridge to the entire OpenAI ecosystem. While we champion local-first AI, integrating GPT-4o allows your automated workflows to leverage state-of-the-art vision capabilities, structured JSON outputs, and the new o1-series reasoning models. Our integration acts as an 'Enterprise Proxy', adding auditing, cost-tracking, and failover logic to your raw OpenAI API calls.

OpenAI API Incident Log

Insufficient Quota (429)

Solution: Check your billing dashboard. Ensure you have 'Usage-based' billing enabled for o1 access.

Model Not Found

Solution: Verify your API key has Tier 1+ access. Newer models like 'o1' require pre-paid account status.

Context Length Exceeded

Solution: Enable 'Trim Context' in OpenClaw settings to automatically summarize history before it hits 128K limits.

❓ FAQ

Q1. Which OpenAI models are supported?

All API models: GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-3.5 Turbo, and DALL-E for images. Model selection is configurable per task.

Q2. Can I mix OpenAI with local models?

Yes. OpenClaw supports model routing — use GPT-4o for complex tasks and local Llama for simple ones to reduce costs.

Q3. How does billing work?

You use your own OpenAI API key. Costs depend on model and usage. OpenClaw adds zero markup.
