## Pick the right model prefix
OpenClaw now keeps OpenAI GPT model refs canonical as `openai/*`:
OpenAI-family routes are prefix-specific. Use `openai-codex/*` when you want
Codex OAuth through PI; use `openai/*` when you want direct OpenAI API access or
when you are forcing the native Codex app-server harness:
| Model ref | Runtime path | Use when |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `openai/gpt-5.5` | OpenAI provider through OpenClaw/PI plumbing | You want direct OpenAI Platform API access with `OPENAI_API_KEY`. |
| `openai/gpt-5.5` + `embeddedHarness.runtime: "codex"` | Codex app-server harness | You want native Codex app-server execution for the embedded agent turn. |
| Model ref | Runtime path | Use when |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `openai/gpt-5.4` | OpenAI provider through OpenClaw/PI plumbing | You want current direct OpenAI Platform API access with `OPENAI_API_KEY`. |
| `openai-codex/gpt-5.5` | OpenAI Codex OAuth through OpenClaw/PI | You want ChatGPT/Codex subscription auth with the default PI runner. |
| `openai/gpt-5.5` + `embeddedHarness.runtime: "codex"` | Codex app-server harness | You want native Codex app-server execution for the embedded agent turn. |
Legacy `openai-codex/gpt-*` and `codex/gpt-*` refs remain accepted as
compatibility aliases, but new docs/config examples should use `openai/gpt-*`.
GPT-5.5 is currently subscription/OAuth-only in OpenClaw. Use
`openai-codex/gpt-5.5` for PI OAuth, or `openai/gpt-5.5` with the Codex
app-server harness. Direct API-key access for `openai/gpt-5.5` is supported
once OpenAI enables GPT-5.5 on the public API.
Legacy `codex/gpt-*` refs remain accepted as compatibility aliases. New PI
Codex OAuth configs should use `openai-codex/gpt-*`; new native app-server
harness configs should use `openai/gpt-*` plus `embeddedHarness.runtime:
"codex"`.
Use `/status` to confirm the effective harness for the current session. If the
selection is surprising, enable debug logging for the `agents/harness` subsystem
