Nemotron Omni + OpenClaw: Build an Omni-Modal Telegram Bot
One model to rule them all — Text, Images, Video, and Audio in a single unified loop. 🚀
What is Nemotron 3 Nano Omni?
NVIDIA recently released Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, an omni-modal reasoning model. Unlike traditional setups that stitch different models together for vision and text, everything here runs in one unified loop.
Built on a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, it features 30 billion parameters, but only 3 billion are active at any time. This results in high reasoning performance with significantly lower compute costs.
Unified Multimodal Context
📸 Computer Vision
Verify deliveries, read documents, or analyze order photos at drive-thrus.
🎙️ Audio & Video
Summarize long clips, add captions, or search inside videos automatically.
📄 Document Mastery
Explain complex contracts, research papers, and financial reports in simple terms.
🤖 Autonomous Agents
Let AI operate apps like a human—handling support tickets and searching the web.
Hardware & Input Specs
To run Nemotron Omni locally via Ollama, you need at least 28GB of RAM and a context window of 128k.
| Input Type | Format | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Video | mp4 | Up to 2 min (256 frames) |
| Audio | wav, mp3 | Up to 1 hour |
| Text | — | Up to 131K context |
Step 1: Install OpenClaw
Requires Node.js 22+ (v24 Recommended).
Install via NPM
npm install -g openclaw@latest
Onboard the Model
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
Step 2: Connect OpenRouter & Telegram
- Choose OpenRouter during onboarding.
- Generate an API Key at
openrouter.aiand paste it into OpenClaw. - Search for Nemotron-3-nano-omni-30b in the model browser.
- Open Telegram and message @BotFather to create a new bot and get your Bot Token.
⚠️ Important: Image Upload Fix
If you experience issues uploading images via Telegram in version 2026.5.3, you need to downgrade OpenClaw to a stable version for media handling.
# Stop OpenClaw first, then run: npm install -g openclaw@2026.3.24
Check version: openclaw --version
Testing Your Omni Bot
Launch the gateway and open your Telegram bot. Use the /model command to verify it’s using Nemotron Omni.
Result: "There are 3 penguins in the image."
By using one model for all media types, you eliminate the need for separate vision and transcription tools, streamlining your entire AI workflow.
