From the footer on the project’s website:
Moltbot was formerly known as Clawdbot. Independent project, not
affiliated with Anthropic.
Makes sense, to be honest, that Anthropic would object to naming it a homonym for Claude.
One additional followup to my post the other day. In his terrific introduction to ClawdMoltbot, Federico Viticci wrote:
I’ve been playing around with Clawdbot so much, I’ve burned
through 180 million tokens on the Anthropic API (yikes), and
I’ve had fewer and fewer conversations with the “regular” Claude
and ChatGPT apps in the process.
Those tokens aren’t free. Anthropic charges $5/million for input tokens, and $25/million for output tokens. I asked Viticci just how much “yikes” cost, and he said around US$560 — using way more input than output tokens.
