Featherless launches Managed OpenClaw, a serverless AI agent platform with flat-fee inference to cut token costs and DevOps complexity for developers.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

Featherless has launched Managed OpenClaw, a serverless managed environment for running open-source AI agents with flat-fee bundled inference. The service targets the growing problem of unpredictable token costs — agentic workflows consume 20-30x more tokens than standard chat — and the heavy DevOps burden of self-hosting agents. Built on Daytona's secure sandboxing infrastructure, it provides 24/7 persistent environments with multi-layer container isolation, collapsing what Featherless describes as eight distinct infrastructure concerns into a single subscription. Developers can switch between open-source models like Qwen 3.5 and Kimi K2.5 without per-token charges or separate vendor relationships.
