> OpenAI started nudging OpenClaw to burn even more tokens on Anthropic

Not possible: OpenClaw is run by a foundation, and is open source, which means OpenAI has no leverage to do such a thing.

Because open source has always been completely independent of unrelated corporate entities who employ people to work on it?

  • Because anyone can actually check the code, which means if there's any funny business, someone will come across it eventually and blow it open.

    • There probably wouldn’t be anything funny-looking – it might look like a genuine mistake in implementation that burns 2× or 3× tokens somehow (which, considering OpenClaw is vibe coded in the purest sense of this term, would blend right in).
