OpenClaw Model
✅Solved
What’s the best model to use with Openclaw? That’s not too expensive and has good value for money? What are the models the community are using? And what models are giving them best results/success.
Solution
- design tokens (colors, font sizes, spacing scale, radii, shadows)
- layout rules (container widths, grid, section padding)
- component rules (buttons, cards, nav, footer, forms)
- do/don’t examples + a target “vibe”
Then instruct Sonnet: “Implement exactly per DESIGN.md; don’t invent new styles.”
This is where you get Opus-level UI across the whole site without paying Opus for every file.
- it’s UI direction/polish, or
- you’ve done one pass and it still doesn’t “feel right” (second-try threshold).
If you want, tell me your stack (Next.js vs Vite+React, Tailwind/shadcn or not, Cloudflare Pages vs Workers) and I’ll suggest a clean 4-agent split (designer/copy/coder/deployer) with exactly where Opus slots in.

Cost control rule that works in practice
Start with Sonnet. Switch to Opus when:- it’s UI direction/polish, or
- you’ve done one pass and it still doesn’t “feel right” (second-try threshold).
