# Config Change Order: Agent Model Fallback Chains

**Date:** 2026-04-20
**Author:** Daedalus 🎨
**For:** Socrates 🧠 to apply
**Approved by:** Matt

## Architecture Principle

The Beelink runs **Ollama as a cloud proxy only** — no local inference. All fallback chains end with the Gaming PC (`ollama-remote/`) as the local lifeboat.

## Changes

### 1. Wadsworth (main agent)

**Current:**
```json
{
  "id": "main",
  "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace",
  "model": {
    "primary": "ollama/glm-5.1:cloud",
    "fallbacks": [
      "ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud",
      "ollama-remote/phi4:14b"
    ]
  }
}
```

**No change needed — already correct.**

### 2. Daedalus

**Current:**
```json
{
  "id": "daedalus",
  "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-daedalus",
  "model": {
    "primary": "ollama/glm-5.1:cloud",
    "fallbacks": [
      "ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud",
      "ollama-remote/phi4:14b"
    ]
  }
}
```

**No change needed — already correct.**

### 3. Socrates — FIX DUPLICATE FALLBACK

**Current (broken):**
```json
{
  "id": "socrates",
  "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-socrates",
  "model": {
    "primary": "ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud",
    "fallbacks": [
      "ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud",
      "ollama-remote/phi4:14b"
    ]
  }
}
```

**After:**
```json
{
  "id": "socrates",
  "workspace": "~/.openclaw/workspace-socrates",
  "model": {
    "primary": "ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud",
    "fallbacks": [
      "ollama/glm-5.1:cloud",
      "ollama-remote/phi4:14b"
    ]
  }
}
```

## Summary Table

| Agent | Primary | Fallback 1 | Fallback 2 (Gaming PC) |
|-------|---------|------------|----------------------|
| **Wadsworth** | `ollama/glm-5.1:cloud` | `ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud` | `ollama-remote/phi4:14b` |
| **Daedalus** | `ollama/glm-5.1:cloud` | `ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud` | `ollama-remote/phi4:14b` |
| **Socrates** | `ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud` | `ollama/glm-5.1:cloud` ✅ | `ollama-remote/phi4:14b` |

## Active Memory

Per Matt — **leave active-memory decisions to Socrates**. Not included in this change order.

## After Applying

1. Restart gateway: `openclaw gateway restart`
2. Verify all three agents respond on primary models
3. Monitor logs for any unexpected fallback events

## Notes

- The `qwen3.5:4b`, `llama3.2:3b`, etc. shown in local `ollama list` are **not** valid fallback targets per architecture (Beelink = cloud proxy only)
- All three agents share the same Gaming PC lifeboat (`phi4:14b`) as last resort
