PinchBench - Frequently asked questions

What's PinchBench? What's the best model for OpenClaw? Which model should I use for coding with OpenClaw? How often is this benchmark updated?

Everything you want to know about PinchBench by @KiloClaw (launching today).

What is PinchBench?

PinchBench is a benchmarking system for evaluating LLM models as @OpenClaw coding agents. We run the same set of real-world tasks across different models and measure success rate, speed, and cost to help developers choose the right model for their use case.

PinchBench is maintained by @Kilo Code, the makers of @KiloClaw, as a way to help users choose from Kilo's over 500+ AI Models when setting up their Claw agents.

What is the best model for OpenClaw?

The best model depends on your priorities. For highest success rate, check the Success Rate leaderboard. For fastest completions, see the Speed view. For budget-conscious users, the Cost and Value views show which models deliver the best results per dollar. @Claude by Anthropic, @OpenAI's GPT, and @Gemini models typically lead on quality, while smaller models like @Mistral AI and @Llama offer better value.

Which AI model should I use for coding with OpenClaw?

For coding tasks, models with strong reasoning capabilities perform best. Check the task-by-task breakdown on any model's detail page to see how it handles specific coding challenges like file creation, API workflows, and script generation. Models scoring above 80% on the benchmark are generally reliable for production coding workflows.

How often is PinchBench updated?

We run benchmarks continuously as new models are released. The leaderboard shows when each result was submitted. Official runs are conducted by the PinchBench team on standardized hardware; community members can also submit runs which are marked as unofficial.

Can I run PinchBench on my own models?

Yes! PinchBench is open source. Install the pinchbench skill and run it with any model supported by @OpenClaw. Results can be submitted to the public leaderboard for community comparison.
