SkyClaw-v1.0: A Million-Context Agent Model at Ultra-Low Cost

A high-performance agent model for complex tool use, multi-turn workflows, and real-world task execution. Use the flagship model for stronger results, or switch to SkyClaw-v1.0-lite when speed and cost matter most.

SkyClaw-v1.0 outperforms Minimax 2.7, DeepSeek V4 Flash, and Qwen 3.6 35B A3B / 27B models across all major agent benchmarks. On OpenClaw-related tasks, its performance approaches that of much larger closed-source models, including DeepSeek V4 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6, and Qwen 3.6 Plus.

In addition to SkyClaw-v1.0, we also offer SkyClaw-v1.0-lite, a much faster and cheaper model that inherits strong agentic performance (e.g., better performance compared to Minimax 2.7). This model is suitable for basic agentic tasks that are more sensitive to costs.

We are launching a free trial period — try SkyClaw-v1.0 or try SkyClaw-v1.0-lite. Following the trial, we will progressively open-source each model version.

Strong Performance on Agent Benchmarks

Across mainstream agent benchmarks and our internally developed Claw task evaluations — including PinchBench, Claw-Eval (with the ^3 stability test), and Skywork-Claw-Bench (Skywork's in-house agent evaluation suite built on the OpenClaw environment) — both the main and lite versions outperform Minimax 2.7, DeepSeek V4 Flash, and the Qwen 3.6 35B A3B and 27B models. Substantial improvements are also observed on related code-task evaluation metrics.

Model Training

SkyClaw-v1.0 was trained around practical agent behavior: complex tool environments, filtered synthetic trajectories, and end-to-end reinforcement learning for more stable multi-step execution.

01

Agent Environment

Training tasks were built from OpenClaw-style workflows with realistic tool relationships and multi-step user demands.

02

Synthetic SFT Data

High-quality task trajectories were filtered for both final-answer correctness and the quality of intermediate actions.

03

Agentic RL

End-to-end reinforcement learning improves generalization, stability, and robustness across agent harnesses.


Pricing and Availability

SkyClaw-v1.0 offers exceptional cost efficiency — pricing is only half or even lower compared to Minimax 2.7 and the Qwen 3.6 series models. A free trial is now available.

Tip: choose SkyClaw-v1.0 for stronger agent performance; choose SkyClaw-v1.0-lite for higher-throughput, cost-sensitive workflows.


API Usage

SkyClaw-v1.0 is available via apifree.ai with an OpenAI-compatible API interface. The lighter model is available from the SkyClaw-v1.0-lite page. Get started in minutes:

cURL

curl https://api.apifree.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFREE_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "skywork-ai/skyclaw-v1",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, SkyClaw!"}
    ]
  }'

Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="https://api.apifree.ai/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="skywork-ai/skyclaw-v1",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, SkyClaw!"}
    ]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

To call SkyClaw-v1.0-lite, use skywork-ai/skyclaw-v1-lite as the model name.

Showcase

These examples start from natural-language prompts and are completed inside agent frameworks such as Hermes, Claude Code, and Codex. We strongly recommend using SkyClaw-v1.0 as the model inside an agent workflow rather than as a standalone chat model.

Apps

For app-building tasks, we recommend running SkyClaw-v1.0 inside agent frameworks like Hermes, Claude Code, or Codex so it can plan, edit files, test, and iterate through the full workflow.
