Slash your AI costs from $1,500+/month to under $50/month.
OpenClaw defaults prioritize capability over cost. You're burning expensive Sonnet/Opus tokens on tasks Haiku handles perfectly, paying for API heartbeats that could run free locally, and loading 50KB of context when 8KB suffices.
Four core optimizations plus powerful tooling:
Haiku by default, Sonnet/Opus only when needed
Route heartbeats to Ollama, LM Studio, Groq, or disable entirely. Not locked to one provider.
Load 8KB instead of 50KB context
Reuse prompts at 10% cost
