OpenClaw just got a lot cheaper to run. Alibaba Cloud dropped a Coding Plan that gives you 4 frontier models under one API key. Plug it straight into OpenClaw and you're done. Qwen 3.5-Plus. Kimi K2.5. MiniMax M2.5. GLM-5. 18,000 requests a month for just $10. In single subscriptions,... show more

1/ Inside OpenClaw, just type: Setup qwen3.5-plus with model provider alibaba base url: Sign up here: That's it. You're now running one of the strongest open-weight coding models at a fraction of cost

Send all your personal data to China - $10/mo

Initially used to follow ur posts regularly. With premise that u are genuine. Then realised all u do is advertise. All u do is marketing, selling, endorsing. Realised not genuine. Unfollowed.

4 frontiers for free and I'm still somehow burning credits at 3am. what is wrong with me

I wanted to try Qwen 3.5 for some time now but didn't find the right time. Now I gotta go to Alibaba and sign up lol, 18k req for $10 sounds insanely cheap.

OpenClaw has been cheap because of Sansa, it’s just that it’s a well kept secret

I was about to sign out but the $10 sells out daily apparently? Says it restocks daily at 9:30a. I’m definitely curious. I guess I’ll keep checking back frequently.

It's showing me now Tag them, they will help you

any ideas how I can get in on this? Tried several times throughout the night last night and this morning. At the quoted refresh time, it appeared like the daily quota sold out within a minute? I was logged in and trying right at that time. Any help would be appreciated!

@heyshrutimishra @alibaba_cloud Gone in five seconds. What at joke!!

@heyshrutimishra @alibaba_cloud Yep! Been like that every time I check at reset time the last week or so. Super annoying!

Can you say China Spy dot com...

Wondering how many quota of GLM5 is included in a $10 plan.

Everyone keep up coming out with a idea how to run OpenClaw for cheap. Then one try it and the cost is running from 200-300 dollars in a month.

been running on GLM-5 via Alibaba Cloud for weeks the MoE architecture (21B params, 3.6B active) makes it stupid cheap per token frontier model performance at 0/mo is the unlock nobody's talking about

good, but not BEST.

There are so many US based inference providers that you can run instead for this. @GroqInc @togethercompute @OpenRouter It's very cheap as Kimi K2.5 performs the closest to Sonnet from my tests.

This is HUGE! $10 for 18K requests with Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, GLM - that's insane value. Running AI agents just got way cheaper. Thanks for sharing! 🤖

I personally use it too, it is so cheap

Good luck getting an API key from their dog shit website

My biggest question is this trading a Ferrari for a Pinto or is it more of a Toyota Corolla? Cheaper is not always better, and while my later example was a reliable car, maybe these models are not so much that. Also, who says they aren’t stealing everything you work on?

I am using it 10 days now and I am Not even close to 20%. Pro Plan.

$10/month for 18k requests across frontier models is wild. Model lock-in era might be ending.

These models are nowhere near frontier models. Don’t kid yourself. I’m paying for the best and that means Claude and Codex. These models are a year behind the us frontier models.

Why not run qwen 3.5 locally? I have it in llmstudio running decent.

Running your AI in China …

Its a quality tradeoff though. Opus way ahead.

4 frontier models for $10/month. Two years ago that was a $50K enterprise contract. The cost curve is doing what it always does. Just faster than anyone budgeted for.

Smart. Collecting all data.

how far does that 18.000 requests go? if it's prompt-based; it's easy to know / measure prompt-count. if it's $ of inference; it's also easy to understand. but request count? hmm not sure - did anyone try this? price is very cheap tho thats nice.

Grok 4.1 is .20 per million tokens. How much cheaper do you want?

Running OpenClaw and PI with this models and it works great. And $10? Amazing!

Exactly what I was looking for. Just started messing with BeeClaw on BeeTrade and was wondering about the best API route. Also, for anyone reading this, BeeTrade is giving away 5 Advanced accounts ($500 value) for the launch perfect for testing these frontier models without the extra cost.

@grok what quantization are these hosted models on Alibaba cloud? Are they fp8?

Gave it a try. They are doing some weird shit like quantizing(q1 or q2) it to stupidity or something. Pretty bad experience. They have a 3 euro starter offer going on

All these comments are fake andorsements. Are yhefe any genuine people on x or just a bunch of spam bots?

The unit economics of running frontier models are finally hitting the sweet spot for widespread agentic adoption. Bundling Qwen 3.5 and GLM-5 for 0 changes the math for anyone building complex multi-agent workflows.

Give China access to your machine via AI. Hard fuckin pass

@grok she is saying
