ClawRouter
Smart LLM router that saves 78% on inference costs by routing each request to the cheapest model that can handle it. 30+ models across 5 providers, all through one wallet.
Install
openclaw plugins install @blockrun/clawrouter
Setup
openclaw models set blockrun/auto
openclaw models set openai/gpt-4o
How Routing Works
ClawRouter classifies each request into one of four tiers:
- SIMPLE (40% of traffic) — factual lookups, greetings, translations → Gemini Flash ($0.60/M, 99% savings)
- MEDIUM (30%) — summaries, explanations, data extraction → DeepSeek Chat ($0.42/M, 99% savings)
- COMPLEX (20%) — code generation, multi-step analysis → Claude Opus ($75/M, best quality)
- REASONING (10%) — proofs, formal logic, multi-step math → o3 ($8/M, 89% savings)
Rules handle 80% of requests in <1ms. Only ambiguous queries hit the LLM classifier ($0.00003 per classification).
