Config Options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cliPath | string | draw-things-cli | Path to Draw Things CLI binary |
modelsDir | string | - | Optional override for models directory |
outputDir | string | ~/Downloads/draw-things-output | Where to save generated images |
defaultModel | string | - | Default model file (e.g., flux_2_klein_4b_q6p.ckpt) |
defaultWidth | number | 1024 | Default output width (multiple of 64) |
defaultHeight | number | 1024 | Default output height (multiple of 64) |
defaultSteps | number | 20 | Sampling steps (higher = better quality, slower) |
defaultCfg | number | 7 | CFG guidance scale (higher = stricter prompt adherence) |
Usage
Once installed and configured, OpenClaw can generate images:
Generate an image of a sunset over mountains
Or use explicit tool calls:
Use image_generate to create a cartoon cat
Models
Download models from the Draw Things model browser. Common models include:
realistic_vision_v5.1_f16.ckpt- Photorealistic imagesflux_2_klein_4b_q6p.ckpt- FLUX.2 Klein 4-bit quantizedsd_xl_base_1.0_f16.ckpt- Stable Diffusion XL
Place models in ~/Library/Containers/com.liuliu.draw-things/Data/Documents/Models/ or specify a custom modelsDir in config.
