A smart model router for OpenClaw that cuts LLM costs up to 70% by routing requests to the cheapest capable model.
Manifest is a smart model router for OpenClaw that intelligently manages LLM API calls to reduce costs. It analyzes each request using a scoring algorithm and routes it to the cheapest capable model from connected providers, cutting expenses by up to 70% without manual intervention. The tool provides automatic fallbacks, budget controls, and transparent analytics for all routing decisions.
Developers and teams using OpenClaw with multiple LLM providers who want to optimize API costs while maintaining performance and reliability. It's ideal for those needing fine-grained control over model selection and data privacy.
Developers choose Manifest over alternatives like OpenRouter because it's free, open-source, and offers local or self-hosted deployment for maximum data privacy. It provides full transparency into routing decisions without proprietary fees or third-party data handling.

Uses a 23-dimension scoring algorithm to route requests to the cheapest capable model, cutting LLM API costs by up to 70% as stated in the README.
If a model fails, the system automatically switches to the next capable model, ensuring request completion without manual intervention.
Supports over 300 models across major providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, plus local options like Ollama, offering broad compatibility.
Allows setting spending limits and provides detailed analytics on tokens, costs, and model usage, visible directly in the dashboard.
Marked as beta in the README, indicating potential for bugs, breaking changes, or incomplete features unsuitable for critical production use.
Specifically designed as a plugin for OpenClaw, making it incompatible with other AI agent frameworks without significant modification.
Local and Docker deployments require manual steps like plugin installation and gateway restarts, which can be more involved than cloud alternatives.
