OpenClaw Free Token Guide: Healer Alpha and Hunter Alpha

This page is based on content/freetoken_en.md and reorganized into a cleaner guide for OpenClaw users who want to test free-token model workflows.

Why These Models Matter

Hunter Alpha and Healer Alpha were described in the draft as a high-value free pairing on OpenRouter, with both models exposed under the openrouter/ prefix and temporarily available at zero token cost for both input and output.

• Free-period pricing reported as 0 / 1M for both input and output
• Hunter Alpha focuses on long-context planning and reasoning
• Healer Alpha focuses on multimodal execution with image and audio support
• The pair maps naturally to OpenClaw agent setups

Hunter Alpha

Hunter Alpha is the planning-heavy model in the pair.

Key Specs

• Claimed parameters: 1T
• Context window: 1,048,576 tokens
• Max output: 32K
• Speed: about 38 tokens/s
• Latency: about 1.57s

Best Use Cases

• Large project planning
• Long-context reasoning
• Huge PDF or document analysis
• Complex codebase refactoring
• Agent-style multi-step workflows inside OpenClaw

Short Version

Hunter Alpha is the model to use when you want OpenClaw to think across a massive context window before acting.

Healer Alpha

Healer Alpha is the execution-heavy multimodal model in the pair.

Key Specs

• Context window: 262,144 tokens
• Max output: 32K
• Speed: about 24 tokens/s
• Latency: about 1.40s

Input Support

• Images via image_url
• Audio via WAV
• Video via video_url
• Text

Best Use Cases

• Screenshot and image analysis
• Audio transcription and summarization
• Cross-modal reasoning
• Real-world multimodal agent tasks

Short Version

Healer Alpha is the model to use when OpenClaw needs to see, hear, and act on more than plain text.

Best OpenClaw Split

• Use Hunter Alpha as the planning brain
• Use Healer Alpha as the multimodal executor

That split gives OpenClaw a cleaner division between deep reasoning and real-world perception tasks.

How To Start

1. Open https://openrouter.ai
2. Sign up with email or Google
3. Optionally create an API key in the dashboard
4. Use chat directly at https://openrouter.ai/chat or connect the models inside OpenClaw

Model IDs

• openrouter/hunter-alpha
• openrouter/healer-alpha

Python Example

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
    api_key="your_free_key"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openrouter/hunter-alpha",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your massive task..."}]
)

OpenClaw Note

The source draft says OpenClaw v13 added built-in installer options for both Hunter Alpha and Healer Alpha, so in compatible setups you may not need to manually type the model IDs at all.
