Teale ∙ manifesto | for OpenClaw | for Hermes | for Developers
OpenClaw still works. Point it at Teale.
OpenClaw needs an OpenAI-compatible API — not Claude specifically. Teale gives you one, backed by the world's idle laptops. No subscription, no rate limits, no account.
Reliable supply
Most devices on the network run a unified Hermes-3-Llama 3.1 8B. Your OpenClaw requests route to whichever laptop is free — same model, consistent outputs, no cold starts.
Performance
| Model | TTFT | TPS | Credits / 1M |
