and version is

ollama version is 0.15.4

ollama version is 0.15.4

Openclaw is

using OpenAI oAuth worked fine but ran out of tokens, i added Ollama just like it was instructed on openclawnet blog

Solution

    byProvider: {
      "ollama/qwen2.5-coder:32b": {
        deny: ["group:memory"]
      }
    }
  }
}

    byProvider: {
      "ollama/qwen2.5-coder:32b": {
        deny: ["group:memory"]
      }
    }
  }
}
