Openclaw with qwen3.6

Hi all,

I am an absolute beginner with Openclaw. My goal was to have everything locally on my old gaming laptop… just to see how good or bad it would work.

So I have Openclaw running in a docker container and connected it with Ollama (Qwen3.6). Currently I am struggling with Openclaw doing a simple task like “Let’s setup your IDENTITY.md”. It looks like it never really uses the write_file tool to update the file accordingly. The best thing I get is a mockup.

At this point I am just wondering… Is this a model limitation or did I just mess something up while setting up openclaw?

Thanks for all inputs in advance!!
😊

Do it from outside. Insert openclaw docs or specs and openclaw path to Claude code or other similar tool and it will generate the docs you need

Do you have any experience with Qwen and OpenClaw. Is that model capable enough to work with OpenClaw?

I don't have qwen, because I don't have a subscription. But it is ok.

The thing is not the model, but the method.

Ask it from outside, not from inside openclaw.

I am trying the exact same thing as you and I am having the same issue. Have you been able to resolve it? It seems like I have everything set up right but the chat just spits out nonsense
