Looking for a ClawProxy alternative?

The Distillery optimizes what Claude sees, not which Claude you get.

Why developers look for alternatives

ClawProxy reduces AI agent spend by routing simple requests to cheaper models like Flash-Lite or Haiku. If you are using Claude Code and need the full model on every request, that trade-off does not fit.

The Distillery takes a different approach: it runs locally and removes redundant context from your requests before they reach Anthropic. Same model, fewer tokens, lower bill.

Privacy and local execution

ClawProxy is a cloud service — your prompts, code context, and agent requests all pass through clawproxy.ai infrastructure. The Distillery is a local proxy that never forwards your code to a third party.

Only token counts and cost deltas sync to The Distillery's servers. Your context stays on your machine.

Measured savings with no model downgrade

Real-world savings range from 30-60% depending on session patterns; the conservative deterministic floor is 20% (reproducible via npx tsx scripts/benchmark.ts).

You only pay when the proxy saves you money. Free plan: 15% of savings above €20/mo. Nothing charged below that threshold.
