Why OpenClaw burns tokens

OpenClaw is autonomous — every task spawns multiple Claude Opus loops to plan, execute shell, control browser via Playwright, read files, and verify results. A single overnight job can cost $50-200 on Anthropic direct.

FAQ

Does OpenClaw work with ClaudeAPI.cheap out of the box?

Yes. OpenClaw uses the Anthropic SDK under the hood. Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to https://claudeapi.cheap/api/proxy and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to your sk-cc-... key. No code changes.

Will OpenClaw still autonomously control my browser and shell?

Yes — those features run client-side on your machine. We only proxy the LLM calls. Browser/Playwright/shell control is unchanged.

Is the response quality identical to Anthropic direct?

Identical. Same models, same context windows, same temperature behavior. We pass requests through with vendor fingerprints stripped — your prompts and responses are unchanged.

What happens to streaming and tool calls?

Streaming works for Claude. Tool calls (function calling) work end-to-end. Anything OpenClaw expects from the Anthropic API is preserved.
