Grok will not spare him

Anthropic banned my Julius (OpenClaw) from their API 💀 So I tested every single alternative out there. Was burning $150/month on credits. Tried Kimi K2.5… and now I finally see why it’s the most-used model for OpenClaw on OpenRouter. > 90%+ of Claude Opus performance > Built-in web search (no extra API calls) > 8x cheaper than Claude I went from $150/mo → $15/mo. Almost the same coding output and reasoning quality. The math just isn’t even close anymore. Who else made the switch? What’s your new stack? 👇




Claude Code rate limited me so hard I bought a $5,000 NVIDIA DGX Spark. Arriving tomorrow. A personal AI supercomputer. Anthropic cut off OpenClaw users. Slashed Claude Opus 4.6 rate limits. Told $200/month Max plan customers to use less. Then gave us a credit as an apology. This is what happens when AI companies have too much power over your workflow. One update and your entire stack breaks. Local models are the only infrastructure no one can throttle. No rate limits. No 529 errors. No surprise policy changes. Tomorrow I'm testing the DGX Spark live on stream. Running local models through real vibe coding workflows. The goal is simple. Never depend on a single provider again.
