Smart Switching

Always the right model. Automatically.

Smart Switching monitors your credits in real-time and silently routes each conversation to the best available model, so your bot never goes quiet, even when you're running low.

Auto-routing within your stack

OpenRouter's auto feature is available today, but it's a black box. We've submitted a PR to OpenClaw adding autoRouter.allowedModels support, so intelligent routing works but constrained to your chosen stack.

After — auto-router with stack
{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": {
        "primary": "openrouter/openrouter/auto"
      },
      "models": {
        "openrouter/openrouter/auto": {
          "params": {
            "autoRouter": {
              "allowedModels": [
                "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5",
                "google/gemini-2.5-flash",
                "openai/gpt-5-nano"
              ]
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
Before — fixed model

  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": {
        "primary": "openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-flash"
      }
    }
  }
}

🔋

Never goes silent

Even at $0 balance, your bot stays live on the Wanderer stack (free models). No dead air, no error messages.

🪄

Invisible to you

Switching happens at the routing layer. Your conversations feel identical regardless of which model is active.

🎛️

Works with any stack

Your chosen stack runs at full balance. As credits drop, Smart Switching moves to cost-efficient fallback models.

Set it up in minutes.

Smart Switching is included in every ClawOps plan. No configuration needed — it works out of the box.
