openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature Request: Automatic Token-Based Model Failover [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a feature to automatically switch between LLM providers based on token consumption thresholds can help optimize cost and reduce manual intervention.

Guidance

• Define configurable thresholds for primary and fallback models to trigger automatic switching.
• Develop an ordered failover mechanism to switch to the next available fallback model when the primary model reaches its threshold.
• Consider implementing reverse failover to revert to the primary model when its token usage resets or falls below a certain threshold.
• Integrate notifications to inform users when a failover occurs.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue focuses on the feature proposal rather than implementation details.

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the token consumption data is available and can be accurately tracked. The implementation may require additional considerations, such as handling multiple API keys, tracking token usage, and ensuring seamless continuity for long-running tasks.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing the proposed feature as described can help optimize cost and reduce manual intervention, making it a worthwhile workaround until a more comprehensive solution is available.
