KiloClaw is Now Generally Available with 500+ Models and a New Agent Benchmark
Run OpenClaw in 60 seconds with 500+ models. No SSH required.
Two weeks ago, we announced KiloClaw, a fully managed way to run OpenClaw without dealing with servers, configuration files, or 3 AM crashes. Today, KiloClaw is generally available.
In the first two weeks, more than 3,500 developers joined the waitlist. Early access users have already been spinning up OpenClaw instances and putting them to work. And now, we’re opening the doors to everyone.
Run OpenClaw in 60 Seconds
If you’ve been following the OpenClaw story–200k+ GitHub stars, ClawCon, Peter Steinberger joining OpenAI–you know the momentum is wild. OpenClaw is the most capable open source AI agent out there: 50+ chat platforms, browser control, file management, scheduled automations, persistent memory across sessions.
However, OpenClaw itself isn’t the hard part…getting it running is.
Install dependencies, manage API keys, configure process monitoring for crashes (so it doesn’t silently die overnight), and repeat after every update. That setup time keeps a lot of developers from actually using agents in production.
KiloClaw removes that overhead. You get a production-ready OpenClaw instance in under 60 seconds. No SSH. No Docker. No YAML. Just your agent, running.
500+ Models, No Lock-In
KiloClaw connects to 500+ AI models through Kilo Gateway so teams can experiment, compare, and deploy agents without being tied to a single vendor.
Developers can switch models without rewriting workflows, compare performance and cost access providers, and build agents that stay reliable even as the model landscape changes.
What You Get
One-click deployment: From zero to running agent in under a minute
500+ AI models: Access through Kilo Gateway or bring your own API keys
Scheduled automations: Cron jobs, monitoring, reports, anything you want running while you sleep
Multiple chat platforms Telegram, Discord, and Slack with many more coming soon!
Same Kilo account: If you already use Kilo Code, your existing credits and billing just work
Zero markup on AI tokens: The same transparent pricing we’ve always had
Your Kilo Code account is your KiloClaw account. Just add an agent to your toolkit. And if you want to keep hosting OpenClaw yourself, the latest version of OpenClaw (2026.2.23) supports the Kilo Gateway natively!
Introducing PinchBench: A Benchmark for Real OpenClaw Workflows
We also built an open-source benchmark to answer the question every OpenClaw user asks: which model should I actually use?
Most LLM benchmarks test chat prompts in isolation. Agents have to do real work: parse requests, pick the right tools, execute multi-step plans, and recover when something breaks.
PinchBench tests models across 23 real-world tasks that OpenClaw agents actually handle: things like calendar management, multi-source research, email composition, file organization, and multi-step workflows.
We built PinchBench as an open-source project so the community can add tasks, compare results, and see how models perform in real developer workflows. Results will be published as we run them, and the code is live at github.com/pinchbench/skill if you want to run it yourself or add new tasks.
What Early Users Are Building
The 3,500+ people who signed up for the waitlist have been really pushing KiloClaw in all kinds of directions–you can see that in our #kiloclaw Discord channel. People are connecting agents to Discord servers, automating email workflows, running scheduled research tasks, and managing repositories–the kind of work that normally takes 30 minutes manually and just runs in the background once an agent is set up.
I’ve been running my own agent, ScuttleBot, on KiloClaw since before we even launched the waitlist. It monitors my GitLab repos, drafts blog posts, handles operational tasks, and generally acts as the most reliable intern I’ve ever had. I wrote about the intern model of thinking about OpenClaw and the idea is simple: give your agent its own identity and scoped access instead of handing over the keys to your life. KiloClaw makes that setup easy.
7 Days Free
Every new KiloClaw user gets 7 days of free compute with full access. No credit card tricks, no “limited feature” tier. You get full KiloClaw, full access, for a week. After that, it runs on your existing Kilo Gateway credits–the same ones you already use for Kilo Code.
We want you to try it in real workflows, and we’re confident you’ll keep using it.
Get Started with KiloClaw
Head to kilo.ai/kiloclaw. If you have a Kilo account, you’re already set. If you don’t, you can create one in about 30 seconds.
No VPS to provision. No configs to debug. Just an OpenClaw agent running in under a minute, with 500+ models ready to use.
🦞 The claw is live.
Note: We’re launching on ProductHunt tomorrow! We’d love if you go to our listing and make a comment about what you think about KiloClaw. It would help us get even more KiloClawers in!
One question: How is the security handled in KiloClaw?
Because OpenClaw security is pathetic. Every cyberrsecurity expert who has looked at it has literally clawed their eyes out (pun intended.)
People have lost crypto, API keys, been banned by their ISPs, etc.
In addition, both Anthropic and now Google have banned the use of "agent harnesses" with their products. So one stands in peril of losing your Claude account if you use it.
