OpenAI dots is just a worse Openclaw?

A discussion compares OpenAI dots to Openclaw, suggesting the former is inferior. Openclaw is highlighted for its superior customizability, transparency, and ability to utilize any model, with flexible hosting options. The argument posits that combining a Claude 100 subscription with a rented web server running Openclaw offers greater power, control, and usage. A concern is raised that OpenAI's pricing strategies might normalize higher costs, potentially reducing pressure on Claude to maintain its current generous usage policies.
