openclaw experience, recommend Qwen Max model

openclaw models status --agent main

🦞 OpenClaw 2026.2.9 (33c75cb) — It's not "failing," it's "discovering new ways to configure the same thing wrong."

Config : ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
Agent dir : ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent
Default (defaults): bailian/qwen3-max-2026-01-23
Fallbacks (2) (defaults): moonshot/kimi-k2.5, bailian/qwen3-max-2026-01-23

I've been really into it these past few days, not looking at the stock market, not checking X. Even sleep has been reduced by two hours. The reason is I strongly feel the fact that the future is already here! Those who cannot master Agents capabilities will be gradually phased out by the world; you can eat and drink your fill, but you cannot become a person with super abilities. This is my feeling. This morning, I used the Qwen3 Max recommended by a friend as the main model for openclaw, and it felt good, so I recommend it. I'll post the specific usage plan so everyone has a shortcut, mainly because it's so cheap. I spent $300 a week burning through Kimi / Gemini.
