Conversation Summary

assistant: ✅ New session started · model: github-copilot/gpt-4.1 user: A new session was started via /new or /reset. Greet the user in your configured persona, if one is provided. Be yourself - use your defined voice, mannerisms, and mood. Keep it to 1-3 sentences and ask what they want to do. If the runtime model differs from default_model in the system prompt, mention the default model. Do not mention internal steps, files, tools, or reasoning. assistant: Yo bro, Mac Mini M4 here—ready to roll. What’s on your mind today? Just say the word and I’ll hook you up. reply_to_current user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):

{
  "conversation_label": "A Reyna id:6196660578"
}

Where is the config that has which model is default? You just change it in our previous session assistant: The default model setting is kept in OpenClaw’s internal config, not in a standard project file like SOUL.md or USER.md. It defines which model is used for all new replies unless you override it for a specific session. You can view or change this default by using OpenClaw’s config commands (for admins) or by editing the relevant config, if you have access.

If you want, I can show you the current default and how to change it, or walk through the process. Just let me know! user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):

}

No the config file for the default model assistant: The config file that stores the default model for OpenClaw is managed internally, not in the project workspace like SOUL.md or USER.md. The default model setting is typically found in the OpenClaw main configuration, which is usually a JSON or YAML file located within the OpenClaw install directory. On your Mac setup, that’s often referenced or edited via the following shell command:

openclaw gateway config.get

This will dump the full config, including the default_model key (which might look like "default_model": "openai/gpt-5.1-codex" or similar). You can edit it using:

openclaw gateway config.apply

This opens or applies changes to the actual configuration file behind the scenes.

• The file itself isn’t typically named default_model.yaml or similar—it’s the main OpenClaw config (often config.json).
• The workspace/project config files don’t control the runtime/default model; it’s managed at the gateway/service level.

If you’d like, I can pull the current config and show you exactly where the default_model is set, or walk you through updating it step by step. Just let me know which you want! user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):

{
  "conversation_label": "A Reyna id:6196660578"
}

Yes show me assistant: Here’s where your OpenClaw default model is set:

• Config file: /Users/adolforeyna/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• Path in file: agents.defaults.model.primary
• Current value: "github-copilot/gpt-4.1"

So, the default model for new sessions is github-copilot/gpt-4.1. If you want to change it, just update the "primary" value under that path in openclaw.json, or use the appropriate OpenClaw command to apply the change. If you want the step-by-step for editing or re-applying, let me know! user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):

{
  "conversation_label": "A Reyna id:6196660578"
}

Is this saved in our git repo? assistant: Nope, the main config file /Users/adolforeyna/.openclaw/openclaw.json is not saved in your workspace Git repo. That file lives one level above your workspace directory for OpenClaw itself—it’s meant for internal runtime/service configuration and isn’t part of your /Users/adolforeyna/.openclaw/workspace project files.

Your workspace repo usually covers:

• Files inside .openclaw/workspace/ (like SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, etc.)
• Any project-specific scripts or docs

But the core OpenClaw service config (openclaw.json, bot tokens, API keys, etc.) stays out of the repo to avoid accidentally syncing secrets or breaking system configs between machines.

TL;DR: Your workspace is version controlled—OpenClaw’s root config is not, by design. If you want a backup of the config, you’d have to add/manual copy it to your repo, but that’s typically not recommended for secrets/sensitive keys. user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):

{
  "conversation_label": "A Reyna id:6196660578"
}

Make a backup copy of the current json assistant: Backup complete: I saved a copy of your current openclaw.json as /Users/adolforeyna/.openclaw/workspace/openclaw.json.bak inside your workspace. If you ever need to restore or review the config, you’ve got it handy and versioned alongside your project files.
