🏗️ Agent & Model Matrix

1. Agent System Overview

Our agent fleet is routed and distributed through Feishu Bots, each running a different model provider.

2. Model Provider Matrix

2.1 Shared Capabilities (Possessed by All Models)

🇨🇳 Native Chinese

All models have native support for Traditional Chinese and do not need a translation layer. DeepSeek / Qwen / MiniMax / GLM are all developed by Chinese teams.

🔌 OpenAI Compatible

All use an OpenAI-compatible API (/v1/chat/completions), so the same codebase can switch between them seamlessly.

🛠️ Tool Calling

All support function calling / tool use and work normally within the OpenClaw Agent framework.

🧠 Deep Thinking

All support thinking / reasoning modes (DeepSeek: thinking_max, Qwen: thinking, MiniMax: adaptive, GLM: enabled).

💰 Pay-as-You-Go

Except for the OMLX local model, all are billed per token with no monthly lock-in.

🌐 Available in Hong Kong

All API endpoints are directly accessible from Hong Kong without a VPN.

2.3 Three Shared Advantages

🥇 A Million-Token Context for Everyone

DeepSeek V4, Qwen 3.6+, and MiniMax M3 all have a 1,000,000 token context window. This means a codebase or document containing 750,000 Chinese characters can be loaded in one pass without chunking. GLM-5.1's 200K is already sufficient for ordinary tasks and falls slightly short only when analyzing very large codebases.

🥈 All Suited to Agent Workflows

All four models have tool calling / function calling capability and can reliably execute multi-step tasks within OpenClaw's Agent framework. DeepSeek has the most mature Agent ecosystem (native support in Claude Code / OpenClaw), MiniMax M3 has the most cutting-edge Agentic Reasoning design, and Qwen has the best Agent stability in Chinese-language scenarios.

🥉 Native Chinese Across the Board

All are models developed by Chinese teams, with native-level support for Traditional Chinese. There is no need to go through an English translation layer; using Chinese prompts directly yields the best results. In scenarios such as handling Hong Kong company secretary documents, legal provisions, and Traditional Chinese financial reports, they all outperform Western models such as GPT/Claude.

2.4 The Real Differences

DifferenceExplanation
Anthropic APIOnly DeepSeek supports both the OpenAI and Anthropic protocols. It is more stable when Claude Code connects natively.
Multimodal InputOnly Qwen supports image and video input. The other three are text only.
Open Source LicensingDeepSeek V4 (MIT) and GLM-5.1 (MIT) are open source and can be deployed locally. Qwen and MiniMax are closed source.
Output CeilingDeepSeek's 384K output dominates the field. Qwen's 65K output is the lowest. When large volumes of code must be generated, DeepSeek has a clear advantage.
Billing ModelDeepSeek/MiniMax are pay-as-you-go. Bailian Token Plan is a subscription model. GLM Coding Plan is billed separately. The choice depends on your usage pattern.
Local DeploymentDeepSeek V4 and GLM-5.1 are open source and can be deployed locally (requires substantial GPU resources). OMLX already runs Qwen3-Coder-Next (8bit quantized, 32K context, completely free).

5. Routing Architecture

User → Feishu
        ├─ Main Bot ──→ our AI assistant (General Manager · DeepSeek V4)
        ├─ Qwen Bot ──→ Coder-Qwen (Frontend/Full-stack)
        ├─ DeepSeek Bot ──→ Coder-DeepSeek (Backend/Algorithms)
        ├─ MiniMax Bot ──→ Coder-MiniMax (Large Codebase)
        └─ GLM Bot ──→ Coder-GLM (Backup · Coding Plan)

Each Agent runs independently, and you switch models by choosing a different Feishu Bot. There is no need for a /model command; you simply talk to a different one.
