Surely, there is a week to week improvement?

Hey everyone, if you’re actively building and testing with OpenClaw, you've probably noticed how fast API token costs can rack up—especially if an agent gets stuck in a logic loop overnight. I set these up for clients full-time, and the very first thing we do is secure their testing environment so they aren't bleeding money on API calls. You absolutely do not need to pay per token just to build and test your workflows. I just recorded a full step-by-step guide showing exactly how to bypass these costs and run premium LLMs for $0.00. In the video, I walk through: 1. Nvidia’s Free Models: The exact JSON config changes to swap your primary model to Kimi K2.5 for free. 2. The OAuth Trick: If you already pay for ChatGPT Plus or Gemini Pro, I show you how to connect your account directly so you stop paying for AI twice. 3. Open Router Setup: How to route into Open Router to unlock a massive library of 100% free models (like DeepSeek R1). I show my screen for the entire setup, including the terminal commands and the exact raw config edits you need to make. 📺 You can watch the full walkthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfj_Zj1GuQI Save your paid API tokens for your actual production tasks, not testing! Let me know in the comments if you run into any config errors while setting this up—happy to help you troubleshoot.

I have been looking at all of these messages and was really wondering if @Jason West and the rest of the people here know that all the OpenClaw, ClawdBot, or Moltbot are a SEVERE security risk and should only be run in a VM? OpenClaw is powerful but currently carries serious security risk. It can execute code, access files, and use credentials, while also loading third-party skills and reading attacker-controlled content. Current reporting from Cisco, Microsoft, WIRED, and security researchers supports treating it as unsafe for normal workstations and suitable only for tightly isolated test environments.

I'm Jason West — I run this community as an unofficial space for anyone using or curious about OpenClaw. Whether you've got it running on a VPS, tinkering on a Mac, or you're still figuring out what this lobster actually does — you're in the right place. What this community is for: 🛠️ Sharing your agent setups and workflows 💡 Swapping skills, configs, and ideas 🐛 Getting help when things break (they will) 🧠 Pushing the boundaries of what a personal AI assistant can do A few things to get started: 1. Introduce yourself below — who are you, what are you building, what got you into OpenClaw? 2. Share your setup — what are you running it on? What channels? What does your agent do for you? 3. Browse the categories — Getting Started, Show & Tell, Skills & Plugins, Help, and more House rules: Be helpful, be decent, don't be a spammer. We're all figuring this out together. Let's build some cool stuff. 🚀 Cheers Jason
