Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
openclaw-model-switch
Switch or repair the model configuration of an OpenClaw instance (e.g., Kimi k2p6 → k3): change the default model, add model definitions, and fix model-config failures — 401 "Invalid token", "No available channel / model not found", thinking-level rejections, and config edits that don't take effect. Ships a config-discovering switch script with backup + mirror sync, an endpoint probe protocol, and a field-tested trap catalog (env-var key hijack, provider-plugin thinking restrictions, relay availability).
io.github.houtini-ai/lm
Connect Claude to any OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint and offload routine work to a local model.
