According to 1M AI News's monitoring, Tencent's AI official account responded today to the OpenClaw community's accusations of bulk scraping ClawHub (OpenClaw's official skills marketplace) data. Previously, users had discovered Tencent had created a platform called SkillHub, importing all the skill packages from ClawHub. OpenClaw's founder, Peter Steinberger, publicly expressed dissatisfaction, stating he had received emails complaining that his set rate limit was "too slow," criticizing Tencent for heavily consuming their server resources without providing any support, as ClawHub's server costs are facing a five-digit increase.

In its response, Tencent defined SkillHub as a "localized skill platform built on the OpenClaw ecosystem," aiming to provide Chinese users with better availability and speed. Tencent emphasized that they always "attribute ClawHub as the source" and disclosed first-week operational data: they processed 180GB of traffic for users (870,000 downloads), but only retrieved 1GB of non-concurrent requests from the ClawHub official source. Tencent also stated that team members are active code contributors (submitting code and PRs) and are willing to be better sponsors.
