Liberate your OpenClaw 🦀
Anthropic is limiting access to Claude models in open agent platforms for Pro/Max subscribers. Don’t worry though, there are great open models on Hugging Face to keep your agents running! Most of the time, at a fraction of the cost.
If you’ve been cut off and your OpenClaw, Pi, or Open Code agents need resuscitation, you can move them to open models in two ways:
- Use an open model served through Hugging Face Inference Providers.
- Run a fully local open model on your own hardware.
The hosted route is the fastest way back to a capable agent. The local route is the right fit if you want privacy, zero API costs, and full control.
To do so, just tell your claude code, your cursor or your favorite agent: help me move my OpenClaw agents to Hugging Face models, and link this page.
