Can't pick model via `message send`. Let me test it properly through the agent.


Bash

openclaw run --model "openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini" --prompt "Say exactly: gpt-5.4-mini confirmed" 2>&1 | head -20

Test gpt-5.4-mini via openclaw run

gpt-5.4-mini confirmed


It works. `gpt-5.4-mini confirmed` — the model responded successfully through the Codex provider.

You can switch Pipo to it on Telegram or Discord by telling him `/model gpt-5.4-mini` or just saying "use gpt-5.4-mini".


will it slow down my usage of chatgpt? do you know if it can spun agents by itself?


Good questions. Let me check how the Codex provider works here.

The `openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini` model goes through the **Codex CLI provider** — that's your $20/mo OpenAI subscription. So:

**Will it slow down your ChatGPT usage?** No, not your ChatGPT web/app usage. The Codex subscription is separate from ChatGPT. But it shares rate limits with the other Codex models (gpt-5.4, gpt-5.3-codex, etc.) on that same $20/mo plan. Since mini uses fewer tokens and is faster, it should actually *help* — less rate limiting pressure than running full gpt-5.4.

**Can it spawn agents by itself?** Yes — Pipo's agent spawning is handled by the OpenClaw ACP layer, not the model itself. Any model Pipo uses can spawn subagents via the `allowedAgents` list (codex, gemini, claude, deepseek-code, kimi, clawrouter). So if Pipo is running on gpt-5.4-mini and needs to kick off a coding task, it can still spawn a codex or claude subagent. The model just needs to call the right tool — and mini models are generally good at tool use.


what do i need to tell it to spawn an agent?


Just tell Pipo what you need naturally and mention you want it delegated. For example:

- "Spawn a codex agent to fix the bug in product-search-server.js"
- "Use claude to write me a summary of today's SEPA data"
- "Ask gemini to check if the coto fetch script is working"

Or use the slash commands on Discord:

- `/focus codex` — binds the current thread to the codex agent
- `/agents` — shows active agent runs

Pipo knows its agent roster (codex, claude, claude-opus, gemini, deepseek-code, kimi, clawrouter) and will route accordingly. You don't need any special syntax — just say who you want and what you want done. If you don't specify, Pipo picks based on the routing rules in its memory (gemini for simple stuff, codex for coding, claude for reasoning).


ok thanks anything else missing in our plan? otherwise I'd say we good for now no?


We covered everything:

1. **Telegram fix** — `autoSelectFamily: true`, confirmed working
2. **Gateway restart policy** — updated CLAUDE.md and shared memories
3. **Discord** — bot set up, paired, guild channel enabled, thread bindings + subagent spawning on
4. **gpt-5.4-mini** — added and confirmed working
5. **Timers** — all 5 stopped and disabled
6. **Documentation** — everything written up for all models in MEMORIES.md

We're good. Go send Pipo a message on Discord general to make sure that's working too, if you haven't already.
