--- name: yieldingbear description: Use Yielding Bear's unified LLM API for cost arbitrage and intelligent routing. Use when cutting AI costs, routing LLM requests, comparing model pricing, or setting up an OpenClaw agent to use multiple LLM providers. YB routes every request to the cheapest capable model automatically — saving 60-80% vs direct API calls. allowed-tools: - Bash - Read - Write metadata: author: Yielding Bear version: "1.0.0" --- # Yielding Bear — Unified LLM Routing API Yielding Bear provides a single unified API that routes every LLM request to the cheapest capable model across 16+ providers — saving 60-80% vs calling OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google directly. ## Setup (First Time Only) 1. **Get an API key** at https://yieldingbear.com/api 2. **Set environment variable:** ```bash export YIELDINGBEAR_API_KEY="yb_live_your_key_here" ``` 3. **Save to your shell profile** (optional): ```bash echo 'export YIELDINGBEAR_API_KEY="yb_live_your_key_here"' >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.zshrc ``` ## Quick Start — OpenClaw Agents ### Method 1: Direct API calls ```bash curl -X POST https://api.yieldingbear.com/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $YIELDINGBEAR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model": "auto", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize this email: ..."}], "max_tokens": 500 }' ``` ### Method 2: OpenAI-compatible drop-in replacement ```python from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( [REDACTED_SECRET]", base_url="https://api.yieldingbear.com/v1" ) # Same SDK. Same code. 60-80% less cost. ``` ## Model Routing | Task Type | Routes To | Cost/1M | |-----------|-----------|---------| | Summaries, classification | Llama 3.1 8B | $0.04 | | Email drafting, formatting | DeepSeek V3 | $0.07 | | General chat, code | GPT-4o-mini | $0.15 | | Complex reasoning | YB Sentinel 70B | $0.06 | | Fast completions | Gemini 2.0 Flash | $0.10 | Override routing: ```json { "model": "claude-3.5-haiku", "routing": { "capabilities": ["reasoning"] } } ``` ## OpenClaw Agent Integration ### For OpenClaw sub-agents Set in environment before spawning: ```bash export YIELDINGBEAR_API_KEY="yb_live_..." ``` The agent uses YB automatically when calling OpenAI-compatible endpoints. ### For custom tools and scripts ```bash RESULT=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.yieldingbear.com/v1/chat/completions" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $YIELDINGBEAR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"model":"auto","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Analyze: $1"}]}') echo "$RESULT" ``` ## Cost Comparison | Task | Direct OpenAI | Via YB | Savings | |------|-------------|--------|---------| | 1M simple summaries | $150 | $40 | 73% | | 1M email drafts | $300 | $60 | 80% | | 1M chat completions | $500 | $150 | 70% | | 1M reasoning tasks | $3,000 | $300 | 90% | ## Key Links - **API Docs**: https://yieldingbear.com/developers - **Yields page**: https://yieldingbear.com/yields - **How it works**: https://yieldingbear.com/how-it-works - **Dashboard**: https://yieldingbear.com/dashboard - **Get API key**: https://yieldingbear.com/api
