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,...

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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! 🤖

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?

$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.

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.

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.

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

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.
