The ZeroClaw team is focusing their efforts on correctness and security by design. Observability is not yet there but the project is moving very rapidly. Their approach, I believe, is right for the long term.

There's a reason I chose ZC to try first! Out of all of them, it does seem to be the best. I'm just not sure that claws, as an overall thing, are useful yet. at least with any model less capable than Opus 4.6 — and if you're using opus, then whew, that's expensive and wasteful.

		The ZC PR experience is hard core. Their PR template asks for a lot of details related to security and correctness - and they check it all before merging. I submitted a convenience script that gets ZC rolling in a container with one line. Proud of that!

		Regarding models, I’ve found that going with OpenRouter’s `auto` model works well enough, choosing the powerful models when they seem to be needed, and falling back on cheaper ones for other queries. But, it’s still expensive… Depending on what you want your claw to do, Gemini Flash can get you pretty far for pennies.
