openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] NVIDIA Provider: Multiple models silent failure [1 comments, 2 participants]

1. Observe error: "Model ... is not allowed" or silent failure. Switching fails with "Model ... is not allowed" error, or the model list silently ignores additional entries.

Fix Plan

To resolve the issue of failing to switch between models from the same provider in OpenClaw 3.11 (Chinese Edition), we need to modify the openclaw.json configuration file and potentially update the model loading logic.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Update openclaw.json: Ensure that the models.providers.nvidia.models section is correctly formatted as an array of objects, where each object represents a model with its necessary details.
2. Model Configuration Example:

{
  "models": {
    "providers": {
      "nvidia": {
        "models": [
          {
            "name": "z-ai/glm5",
            "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_FOR_Z_AI_GLM5"
          },
          {
            "name": "minimaxai/minimax-m2.5",
            "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY_FOR_MINIMAXAI_M2_5"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY_FOR_Z_AI_GLM5 and YOUR_API_KEY_FOR_MINIMAXAI_M2_5 with the actual API keys for each model.

1. Code Update for Model Loading: If the issue persists after updating the configuration, it may be necessary to adjust the model loading logic in OpenClaw to properly handle multiple models from the same provider. This could involve modifying the modelLoader function to iterate through the array of models for a given provider and load each one correctly.

Example Code Snippet (Hypothetical):

def load_models(provider):
    models_config = config['models']['providers'][provider]['models']
    loaded_models = []
    for model_config in models_config:
        # Load the model using the provided API key
        model = load_model(model_config['name'], model_config['apiKey'])
        loaded_models.append(model)
    return loaded_models

This snippet assumes a load_model function that takes a model name and API key, loads the model, and returns it.

Verification

After applying these changes, verify that you can switch between models from the same provider without encountering the "Model ... is not allowed" error or silent failure. Attempt to switch models using the /model command followed by the name of the model you wish to switch to (e.g., /model minimaxai/minimax-m2.5).

Extra Tips

• Ensure that all API keys are valid and correctly associated with their respective models.
• If issues persist, check the OpenClaw logs for any error messages that might indicate a problem with the configuration or model loading process.
• Consider updating OpenClaw to the latest version if available, as newer versions may include fixes for known issues.
