OpenClaw and model switching churn

April 5, 2026Josh Pigford, Dan Shipper, Nat Eliason

Dan Shipper reports GPT-5.4 usage rising after OpenClaw gets banned in Claude subscriptions, while Nat Eliason and Josh Pigford discuss replacing Opus with other models like GLM 5.1.

gpt is substantially dumber than claude in a 🦞 ai assistant context.
i need to hear from opus 🦞 users on what they've successfully switched to.
current 🦞 thought: use @OpenRouter /auto as primary and just...hope for the best.
gpt-5.4 up 8.9% in usage this week after OpenClaw gets banned in Claude subscriptions
But the switch from Opus has been tough today.
my opus replacement: @Zai_org's GLM 5.1!
