It is no secret that OpenClaw can consume a lot of tokens and cost you lots of money if you use it with models like Claude Opus. You always have the option to run models locally to do more. Gemma 4 is a small model that runs on your consumer devices. You can just download Gemma 4 26B A4B and launch OpenClaw with Gemma 4 as the backend via Ollama.
To get started, simply run this command: ollama pull gemma4:26b. To run this model, you are going to need a RTX 3090 24GB, RTX 4080 Super 16GB, M3 Max, M3 Ultra and other comparable computers and graphics cards. Once you have installed Ollama and this model, simply run this command:
ollama launch openclaw –model gemma4:26b
