For $1.3 million a month, OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger runs 100 AI agents that code, review PRs, and find bugs

Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw, operates an AI-driven development team where 100 codex instances are continuously active. These agents perform tasks such as code review for PRs (Pull Requests), bug detection, and security analysis.

  • The team uses various tools including Clawpatch.ai, Vercel’s Deepsec, and Codex Security to augment their work with AI.
  • OpenAI bears the cost of running these agents, which amounted to $1.3 million in a 30-day period for approximately 603 billion tokens and 7.6 million requests processed.
  • To reduce costs, Steinberger suggests turning off “Fast Mode,” which he claims could cut expenses by up to 70 percent.
