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

# Enable smart routing (auto-picks cheapest model per request)
openclaw models set blockrun/auto

# Or pin a specific model
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).

Available Models

30+ models including: gpt-5.2, gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, o3, o4-mini, claude-opus-4.5, claude-sonnet-4, claude-haiku-4.5, gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.5-flash, deepseek-chat, deepseek-reasoner, grok-3, grok-3-mini.
