OpenClaw model switching and Opus daily driver gap

April 5, 2026Josh Pigford

Josh Pigford argues Opus users feel a sharp quality drop when switching models and considers routing via OpenRouter auto, reflecting anxiety about maintaining OpenClaw performance as model availability and costs shift.

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.
