I have an old computer with access to 11.9 gb ram and I am trying to got run openclaw locally, the model I’m running is llama3.2:1b. When I run the model separately it runs fine at a pretty good speed but when I try to run it through open claw it hangs and doesn’t reply

TL;DR

  • The issue may be resolved by adjusting the memory allocation or configuration for OpenClaw to accommodate the large model size of llama3.2:1b.

Guidance

  • Verify the memory usage of OpenClaw when running the model to determine if it's exceeding the available 11.9 GB RAM.
  • Check the OpenClaw configuration for any settings that can be adjusted to reduce memory usage or optimize performance for large models.
  • Consider running the model with a smaller batch size or sequence length to reduce the memory requirements.
  • Investigate if there are any known issues or limitations with running large models like llama3.2:1b in OpenClaw version 2026.3.31.

Example

  • No specific code example can be provided without more information on the OpenClaw configuration or the exact commands used to run the model.

Notes

  • The lack of detailed logs or error messages makes it difficult to provide a more specific solution.
  • The issue may be specific to the combination of OpenClaw version, model size, and available system resources.

Recommendation

  • Apply workaround: Adjust the OpenClaw configuration or model settings to reduce memory usage, as upgrading to a fixed version is not clearly implied in the provided information.
