OpenClaw + Kimi K2.5 on Baseten = frontier agent performance with OSS

OpenClaw, formerly known as ClawdBot and MoltBot, is a versatile Jarvis-like agent designed to function as a personal assistant or teammate, capable of executing a wide range of tasks on local machines or the cloud by running sub-agents with memory retention and tool usage capabilities. It can write, execute scripts, browse online, and use applications, with the added benefit of being monitored through chat platforms like Telegram and WhatsApp. When paired with Baseten’s Kimi K2.5 Model API, OpenClaw achieves performance levels comparable to closed-source models but at significantly lower costs, making it highly efficient for token-intensive applications. The setup process involves cloning a repository, installing dependencies, and integrating the Baseten API, allowing users to control OpenClaw through various interfaces, including the terminal, web pages, or messaging apps. The integration of open-source models like Kimi K2.5, GLM-4.7, and GPT-OSS 120B ensures users don't have to compromise between performance, quality, and cost, offering high throughput and low latency.
