CoinFeed reported on March 12 that, according to SnowShadow, a user on the X platform, Tencent's newly launched AI skill platform SkillHub scraped all skill data from ClawHub and imported it into its platform. In response, Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw, stated that he had received complaints about the scraping speed being too slow due to frequency limitations, and pointed out that Tencent was "copying/repurposing" without providing any support to the original project. Steinberger called out Tencent Hunyuan, stating that due to such high-frequency scraping, its server costs had soared to five figures in US dollars, and questioned whether Tencent was willing to provide assistance instead of continuing to drive its costs upward.
