[Tencent Responds to ClawHub Scraping Controversy: SkillHub is a Local Mirror for Chinese Users, 870,000 Downloads in the First Week, Only 1GB Pulled from Upstream] March 12 news: Tencent AI's official account today responded to accusations from the OpenClaw community regarding its bulk scraping of ClawHub (OpenClaw's official skill marketplace) data. Previously, users discovered that Tencent had created a platform called SkillHub, which imported all skill packages from ClawHub. OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger publicly expressed dissatisfaction, stating that he had received emails complaining about the rate limits he set being "too slow," criticizing Tencent for heavily consuming server resources without providing any support, while ClawHub's server costs are facing a rise to five figures. In its response, Tencent defined SkillHub as "a localized skill platform built on the OpenClaw ecosystem," aimed at providing better usability and speed for Chinese users. Tencent emphasized that it "always credits ClawHub as the source" and disclosed its first-week operational data: handling 180GB of traffic for users (870,000 downloads), but only pulling 1GB of non-concurrent requests from ClawHub's official source. Tencent also stated that its team members are active code contributors (submitting code and PRs) and expressed willingness to become better sponsors.
