  "map_content": "I have a bit more information about my OpenClaw project.\r\nFirst thing is it's expensive! damn no joke. \r\nSecond thing is I want to describe the three different ways you incur costs for the AI calls, with the second and third ways being how you could manage/limit those costs. \r\n\r\nNote: I am not talking about costs involved in what hosts the OpenClaw infra itself: your machine or virtual cloud service - that is additional.\r\n\r\nThe first are what they call frontier AIs. That is open AI (GPT.*'s) and anthropic (claude's) with their latest and greatest models. They are high-performers, deep reasoning, and they cost a lot. If you're going to do an openclaw agent and you want to use those frontier models, it's going to be super expensive.\r\nOptions 2 and 3 are for number 2. You could use a service that hosts cheaper open source models, and you bring your price down. I haven't researched by how much yet. I will report once I get that research done.\r\nThe third way would be to host your own open source model on a VM or your own server if you are inclined to do that. The VM would be on Google Cloud or AWS, etc.\r\nOptions two and three do not give you the frontier models, so they're not going to be as good, but perhaps they are sufficient, depending on what you want your agent to do. \r\n@ruthheasman \r\nhttps://app.treechat.com/quest/f68313e5-a24c-40a9-8719-5f7562e030d1",
