This is a reason to seriously consider changing providers.
Substantively: assuming this is true, what are the possible explanations? If they don't use OpenClaw, wouldn't this suggest there is some other cause?
What company? Will these people go on the record?
We live in a world where it is irrational for me to put much credence in a HN account. I see it has 125 karma and was created in January 2022.
If you must - in my experience Deepseek v4 is incredible value in every aspect. Pricing is transparent.
But like I said, I have funds in different AI gateways but I'm preferring to write by hand because I don't want surprising bugs and unnecessary code in my end result.
Spec your machine accordingly. Some models I recommend trying to get a feel for what's out there. Qwen 3.6 35b a3b, granite4.1 8b, llama 3.2 3b.
There are plenty of others but those give a good taste for different sizes and what they can do. If it's not enough then you are out maybe 5 bucks.
Also check in with r/localllama they have a bunch of people who can help you go further, spec machines, get better performance and results. If you don't want to post that's cool but there are lots of comments on how to get going. They are pretty friendly though so I'd read the rules and make a post asking for help
Maybe you will inspire me to use it.
