Product Idea from this Signal

An API middleware that analyzes each OpenClaw request's complexity and routes it to the cheapest model that can handle it, switching between Kimi K2.5 (free), DeepSeek V4, Claude, and GPT based on task type

1.3k ▲

Kimi K2.5 just became the first free premium model on OpenClaw, voted #1 by the community. But most users hard-code one model for everything, paying Claude/GPT prices for tasks a free model handles fine. This middleware sits between OpenClaw and LLM providers, classifies each request by complexity (simple lookup, multi-step reasoning, code generation, vision), and routes to the cheapest capable model. Free-tier Kimi handles 70% of typical agentic workloads. The remaining 30% get routed to the right paid model.
