Anthropic updated their docs and the OpenClaw community thought we might be violating Terms of Service. Thariq from Anthropic clarified it was a docs cleanup, but the scare raised a real question: should you have a backup plan for your OpenClaw bot?
In this livestream, we walk through the full migration from Anthropic to OpenAI for OpenClaw — both the API key path and the Codex subscription path. If you’ve never configured models from the terminal before, this is a beginner-friendly walkthrough. We also set up Claude Sonnet as a fallback so you’re covered either way.
Whether Anthropic intended to restrict OpenClaw or not, having your bot on multiple providers is just good practice. Here’s how to do it.
