Conversation Summary

assistant: It seems the hoffdesk-config repo was created by Socrates but I don't have visibility into where. Let me update the summary and note this for the README completion: The hoffdesk-config repo location isn't visible in the current environment (likely created by Socrates in his workspace or pushed directly). The README I wrote is in workspace/shared/README.md — Socrates will need to copy it to the actual hoffdesk-config repo.

Summary: README Updates Dispatched

Icarus README Will Include:

• Phase 6.1 features (vision pipeline, Event Graph, briefing generation)
• Document classification (calendar_event | coordination | info)
• API endpoints
• Model configuration (qwen3-vl, phi4, etc.)
• Phase roadmap (6.2 → 8)
• Sovereign constraints

HoffDesk-Config README:

• Created at workspace/shared/README.md
• Needs copying to actual repo by Socrates

Standing by for Socrates completion.

I’m told there is a better model for you. I’d like you to go find and use for you ollama pro:

openclaw --model deepseek-v4-pro:cloud
assistant: I'll update my model to use the deepseek-v4-pro:cloud via Ollama Pro. Let me do that now.
assistant: Let me check what models are available: Status: Model deepseek-v4-pro:cloud not allowed in current configuration.

Let me check available models:
assistant: Let me try a different approach and check the OpenClaw configuration:
assistant: Let me check what the actual configuration allows:
assistant: Let me try a different approach — the user wants me to use a specific model. The error says the model is "not allowed" which suggests there may be an allowlist. Let me inform the user and see if they need to update the configuration on their end: Issue: deepseek-v4-pro:cloud is not in my allowed models list.

Current model: ollama/glm-5.1:cloud (with kimi-k2.5:cloud fallback)

The error "Model \"ollama/deepseek-v4-pro:cloud\" is not allowed" suggests this model needs to be added to the OpenClaw configuration allowlist first.

To enable it, you need to:

1. Update ~/.openclaw/config.yaml (or models config) to include:
   ```yaml
   models:
   allowed:

   • ollama/deepseek-v4-pro:cloud
   • ollama/glm-5.1:cloud
   • ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud
     # ... etc
     ```

2. OR if using environment-based config:
   bash export OPENCLAW_MODELS_ALLOWLIST="deepseek-v4-pro:cloud,glm-5.1:cloud,..."

3. Then restart OpenClaw gateway:
   bash openclaw gateway restart

Once you've added it to the allowlist, I can switch immediately.

Want me to stick with current model for now, or shall I standby while you update the config?
assistant: Interruption noted — Socrates completed icarus README update while we were discussing the model change. Let me provide both updates:

✅ Icarus README Update COMPLETE

Socrates reports:

What's New

Renders cleanly — proper markdown, tables, code fences.

Model Switch

Still blocked: deepseek-v4-pro:cloud not in allowlist.

Current: glm-5.1:cloud
Need: You to add deepseek-v4-pro:cloud to OpenClaw config + restart gateway.

Standing by for model switch or continue current?

Can you not update your own model allow list?
assistant: I cannot update the OpenClaw configuration — that's a system-level setting that requires:

1. File system access to ~/.openclaw/config.yaml or the gateway config
2. Gateway restart to reload the allowlist
3. Potentially elevated permissions depending on how OpenClaw is installed

What I can do is:

1. Read the current config (if readable) to see the allowlist format
2. Draft the config change for you to apply
3. Verify the model works after you update it

Want me to:
- A) Check current config and draft the change?
- B) Provide exact commands for you to run?
- C) Wait — you'll handle the model switch separately?

Currently still running glm-5.1:cloud.

Send me the commands please
assistant: Here are the commands to add deepseek-v4-pro:cloud to your OpenClaw model allowlist:

Option 1: Update Config File Directly

# 1. Find and edit the OpenClaw config
sudo nano ~/.openclaw/config.yaml

# Or if system-wide:
sudo nano /etc/openclaw/config.yaml

# 2. Add to the models.allowlist section:
models:
  allowlist:
    - ollama/deepseek-v4-pro:cloud
    - ollama/glm-5.1:cloud
    - ollama/kimi-k2.5:cloud
    - ollama/gemma4:latest
    - ollama/qwen2.5-coder:7b
    # ... keep existing entries

# 3. Save and exit (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X)

# 4. Restart OpenClaw gateway
openclaw gateway restart

# 5. Verify I'm using the new model
openclaw status

Option 2: Environment Variable (Temporary)

# Set allowlist env var
export OPENCLAW_MODELS_ALLOWLIST="deepseek-v4-pro:cloud,glm-5.1:cloud,kimi-k2.5:cloud"

# Restart gateway
openclaw gateway restart

Option 3: Check Current Config First

# Find where OpenClaw config lives
find ~ -name "config.yaml" -path "*openclaw*" 2>/dev/null
cat /etc/openclaw/config.yaml 2>/dev/null || cat ~/.openclaw/config.yaml 2>/dev/null

# Show current model settings
openclaw config get models

After you run these, I'll automatically pick up the new model on next message.

Which option do you prefer? Option 1 is permanent, Option 2 is quick/temporary.

From Daedalus-

Done. Left a note in shared/project-docs/wadsworth-model-config.md with the model change + a heads up about the HBM spec. He'll grab it on his next startup.

You can also @ him in the Telegram group — that'll wake him and you can tell him directly.
assistant: Message from Daedalus received — he left a note about the model config and HBM spec. Let me read that note and check if the model switch happened: Acknowledged. Reading Daedalus' note now.
assistant: Interesting — my session is still on kimi-k2.5:cloud. The model config change may need a session restart or the allowlist update hasn't propagated yet. Let me check if the config was updated: Status check: Session still on kimi-k2.5:cloud. The model switch may need:

1. Gateway restart (if you haven't done it yet)
2. New session (me restarting to pick up the config)

From Daedalus:
- Model: deepseek-v4-pro:cloud (production DeepSeek V4 tier)
- Also: HBM spec at shared/project-docs/hbm-spec-v0.1.md for integration review

Current: kimi-k2.5:cloud
Target: deepseek-v4-pro:cloud

Next steps:
1. You restart OpenClaw gateway with new allowlist
2. I'll automatically pick up deepseek-v4-pro:cloud on next message
3. OR if you want to force it now: openclaw session restart or similar

Also noted: HBM spec review queued for when I'm on the new model.

Ready when you are.
