"Know thy models, optimize thy costs" — Real-time AI capability tracking for intelligent compute routing
🎯 What It Does
Transform your OpenClaw deployment from guessing to data-driven model selection:
- 🔍 Real-time Intelligence — Pulls latest capability data from LMSYS Arena, BigCode, HuggingFace leaderboards
- 📊 Standardized Scoring — Unified 0-100 capability scores across coding, reasoning, creative tasks
- 💰 Cost Efficiency — Calculates performance-per-dollar ratios to find hidden gems
- 🎯 Smart Recommendations — Suggests optimal models for specific task types
- 📈 Trend Analysis — Tracks model performance changes over time
🚀 Why You Need This
Problem: OpenClaw users often overpay for AI by using expensive models for simple tasks, or underperform by using cheap models for complex work.
Solution: This skill provides real-time model intelligence to route tasks optimally:
- 翻译任务: Gemini 2.0 Flash (445x cost efficiency vs Claude)
- 复杂编程: Claude 3.5 Sonnet (92/100 coding score)
- 简单问答: GPT-4o Mini (85x cheaper than GPT-4)
Result: Users report 60-95% cost reduction with maintained or improved quality.
