**OpenClaw supports per-channel model overrides via the `channels.modelByChannel` configuration in `openclaw.json`.** This pins specific channel IDs (e.g., Telegram chat IDs) to a model using `provider/model` syntax or aliases, applying only when no session-level override (like `/model`) is set.[1]

### Configuration Example
Add this under the `channels` section:
```
channels: {
  modelByChannel: {
    "telegram:123456789": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5",  // Telegram channel ID → model
    "telegram:987654321": "openai/gpt-4o"                // Another channel → different model
  }
}
```
- Use full `provider/model` or aliases (e.g., "Sonnet" if defined).[1]
- Resolution prioritizes session > channel > global; supports `alias` and `params` (e.g., `temperature`, `maxTokens`).[1]
- For Telegram groups, extend to `channels.telegram.groups.<id>.model` (feature discussed).[3]
- Changes require gateway restart: `openclaw gateway restart`.[2]

### Related Overrides
- **Per-account/channel response prefix**: `channels.<channel>.responsePrefix` or `channels.<channel>.accounts.<id>.responsePrefix` (most specific wins).[1]
- **Agent mapping**: Advanced routing like `"dm:telegram:*": { "model": "openai/gpt-4o" }`.[5]
- Global models: Set `agents.defaults.model.primary` and fallbacks first.[4]

Edit `openclaw.json` with `vim openclaw.json` or similar, save, and restart.[2] For full reference, see OpenClaw docs.[1][4]
