Model Policy Current¶
Last Updated: 2026-03-12 Status: Active current-state policy note
Current Model Lanes¶
OpenClaw chat lane¶
- Primary:
google/gemini-flash-latest - Fallback:
google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview - Additional fallback:
google/gemini-2.5-pro - Local fallback lane:
ollama/jorvis-4b-256k
OpenClaw memory-search lane¶
- Provider:
gemini - Model:
gemini-embedding-001 - Fallback:
none
Document RAG embedding lane (experimental)¶
- Provider:
gemini - Purpose: semantic indexing of ingested documents (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, JSON, HTML, Google Docs)
- Status: experimental; embedding model and dimensionality are determined by the bounded evaluation spike and are not canonical default policy until explicitly promoted
- Note: this lane is separate from the OpenClaw memory-search lane above; they serve different retrieval paths
Why This Exists¶
This policy note keeps the model lanes separate:
- chat generation
- memory-search embeddings
- document RAG embeddings
- local fallback models
- future policy changes
