🦞 Token Optimizer for OpenClaw
Slash your AI costs from $1,500+/month to under $50/month.
The Problem
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.
The Solution
Four optimizations that work together:
✅ Model Routing (92% savings)
Haiku by default, Sonnet/Opus only when needed
✅ Ollama Heartbeats (100% savings)
Free local LLM for status checks
✅ Session Management (80% savings)
Load 8KB instead of 50KB context
✅ Prompt Caching (90% savings)
Reuse system prompts at 10% cost
Cost Comparison
| Period | Before | After |
|---|
| Daily | $2-3 | $0.10 |
| Monthly | $70-90 | $3-5 |
| Yearly | $800+ | $40-60 |
