OpenClaw creator says he spent $10 million in tokens last month

Peter Steinberger, member of technical staff at OpenAI and the creator of OpenClaw, estimates that he spent around $10 million in tokens running AI workloads last month. But don't feel bad for him, because it's all coming out of investors' pockets. He made this admission at the Cloudflare Connect 2026 conference in San Francisco on Wednesday, in a conversation with Cloudflare CTO Dane Knecht.
