How CrabGlamp is purpose-built for LLM-powered development workflows.
For AI Development
CrabGlamp is built for developers who use AI coding tools. Instead of installing and configuring everything yourself, you get a working AI development environment out of the box.
What’s included
OpenClaw — AI coding agent framework, pre-installed on every agent. Gateway runs automatically, supervised with auto-restart.
Platform LLM keys — Managed OpenAI API keys. No OpenAI account needed. Create a key, assign it to your agent, and start coding. Billed at 1.5x OpenAI’s cost through your CrabGlamp subscription.
Available models:
| Model | Use case |
|---|---|
| GPT-5.4 | Best balance of speed, quality, and cost |
| GPT-5.4 Pro | Maximum capability for complex tasks |
| GPT-4o | Lower cost for lighter tasks |
Anthropic model support is planned.
Compared to DIY setups
Setting up AI coding tools on a VPS typically means:
- Provision a server
- Install your AI tool (Claude Code, Aider, Cursor, OpenClaw)
- Create an OpenAI/Anthropic account and manage API keys
- Configure the tool with your keys
- Set up a code editor and terminal access
- Configure SSL and web hosting for demos
- Manage updates, key rotation, usage tracking
With CrabGlamp, run crabglamp onboard and you’re done.
Key management
Platform LLM keys handle the operational burden of API key management:
- Create from the dashboard or CLI — no provider account needed
- Assign to any agent — one key works across multiple agents
- Rotate when needed — new credential, old one revoked automatically
- Track usage — per-model token usage synced to your billing dashboard
- Bring your own — platform keys are optional, use any provider’s keys directly
Web hosting for AI projects
Every agent has a public HTTPS URL. Deploy what you build — AI-powered apps, chatbots, API endpoints — without a separate hosting provider. Good for demos, prototypes, and lightweight production.
Who this is for
- Solo developers using AI coding tools and wanting zero-ops infrastructure
- Educators teaching with AI tools — provision agents for students, share environments via GlampHub
- Teams evaluating AI coding workflows — shared billing, consistent environments
- Anyone who wants to try AI coding tools without the setup tax
