OpenClaw llama.cpp setup trips self-hosters

A Reddit user asked how to connect a llama.cpp-hosted Qwen3.5 model to OpenClaw, highlighting how confusing local-model setup still is for self-hosters. OpenClaw supports self-hosted models and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, but its simplest documented path still runs through Ollama or manual custom-provider configuration.

// ANALYSIS

This looks more like a configuration and docs UX problem than a missing feature. OpenClaw supports self-hosted models, but llama.cpp users still have to navigate custom provider setup, exact model IDs, and potential allowlist issues before a local model works reliably.
