About
ClawRouters is an LLM gateway that sits between your application and 50+ AI model providers, automatically routing each API call to the most cost-effective model for the task at hand. It exposes a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so you don't need to rewrite any code — just point your existing requests at ClawRouters and let it decide whether that task warrants Claude Opus or can be handled by Gemini Flash for a fraction of the price. Routing decisions add roughly 50ms of latency and happen in under 10ms internally.
Teams running OpenClaw agents or any AI application with significant API volume who want to cut LLM costs without touching their existing codebase. Particularly useful when your workload is a mix of simple and complex tasks that currently all get routed to the same premium model.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- check Reported cost savings of 60–90% by matching task complexity to appropriately priced models
- check Three routing strategies (Cheapest, Best Quality, Balanced) give you control over the trade-off
- check Free BYOK tier lets you use your own API keys with zero monthly cost — you just pay the model providers directly
Cons
- close The 50ms routing overhead, while small, matters in latency-sensitive real-time applications
- close Routing decisions are automated — if the classifier misidentifies a task type, you may get an under-powered model on something that needed more horsepower
