Smart LLM router for autonomous agents. <!-- br:models.chatVisible -->78<!-- /br:models.chatVisible --> models. Two ways to pay:

- **Wallet (default)** — x402 USDC micropayments signed per call, against `blockrun.ai/api` (Base) or `sol.blockrun.ai/api` (Solana). New installs default to Solana.
- **API key** — `brk_live_…` from [user.blockrun.ai](https://user.blockrun.ai), billed against card-funded account credit, against `api.blockrun.ai`. `src/api-key.ts` resolves it (env → `~/.blockrun/.api-key` → `~/.openclaw/blockrun/api-key`); a key present anywhere wins over a wallet, and no wallet is generated or read in that mode.

**A free tier that gets rebuilt rather than retired isn't just a product feature — it's a signal.** Baseline AI capability is becoming infrastructure. Like internet bandwidth before it, the cost of "good enough" AI inference is converging toward zero.

BlockRun and ClawRouter exist to be the **routing layer** in this transition: not locked to any single provider, not bound to any single model, always giving developers the lowest-cost path to the right capability.
