Astrolabe OSS stays clean.
Astrolabe Cloud is the hosted control plane and prepaid gateway. The public Astrolabe repo remains the self-hosted routing runtime for teams that want to run the stack on their own infrastructure.
Self-host Astrolabe
Run the routing layer yourself and own the provider credentials, deployment topology, and lane policy.
Use Astrolabe Cloud
Let Astrolabe host the gateway, billing wallet, API keys, and prepaid spend controls for you.
Keep the same client shape
In both cases you stay OpenAI-compatible and can keep your OpenClaw or SDK integration mostly unchanged.
