Connect

  1. Install OpenClaw if needed.
  2. Download a compatible model in Magnitude.
  3. Open Connections → OpenClaw and click Connect.
  4. Select a downloaded model on the connected card, then click the command to copy it.
  5. Paste it into your terminal from your project folder. On Windows, use PowerShell.
Restart your running OpenClaw instance after changing its connection, then select a Magnitude model. The configuration is persistent; connecting does not start OpenClaw for you.

Run OpenClaw

After connecting in Magnitude, start OpenClaw with:
Then select your model inside the OpenClaw TUI:
Connections shows both commands for your selected model. Run the /model command inside OpenClaw, not in your shell. Replace MODEL_ID with the exact model ID, such as gemma-4-e2b-it-qat:gguf:q4, rather than its display name. The command shown in Connections already includes the correct ID for your selected model, so you can copy it without editing. Keep Magnitude running; it loads the model when the agent requests it.

Configuration

Connect writes ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. Location overrides: OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH and OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR.

  1. In Magnitude, turn on Settings → Network access.
  2. On the other computer, open http://ADDRESS:10100 in a browser, using the address from Reachable at, and sign in with the API key.
  3. In Connections, click Copy setup prompt on OpenClaw and send it to your agent.

Edit the files yourself

Use the address from Reachable at for ADDRESS and the API key for API_KEY. ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
