OpenClaw Cost Optimization Guide
Running an agent around the clock gets expensive fast. This guide covers the levers that actually move the bill — model routing, context budgeting, prompt caching, and batching — plus how to measure whether a change saved money or just moved it somewhere else.
What it covers
- Routing cheap work to small models and reserving frontier models for hard problems
- Context budgeting: what to keep in the window and what to page out to disk
- Prompt caching and batching patterns that survive real traffic
- Per-run cost accounting so regressions show up before the invoice does
