TechFlow reports that on March 12, Tencent AI’s X account, Tencent AI (@TencentAI_News), responded to community allegations accusing it of “mass scraping ClawHub,” stating: “Hello Peter, we understand your concerns. SkillHub is a localized skill platform built by Tencent based on the OpenClaw ecosystem, designed to deliver improved skill availability and speed for Chinese users.
We openly and transparently declare that we operate as a local mirror site and consistently credit ClawHub as our data source. During our first week online, we served 180 GB of traffic (870,000 downloads) to users, while fetching only 1 GB of data from the official source (via non-concurrent requests).
Many members of our team are active contributors (submitting code and pull requests), and we are eager to support the ecosystem and become better sponsors.”
Earlier reports indicated that the community accused Tencent’s SkillHub platform of mass-scraping all skill data from OpenClaw’s official skill marketplace, ClawHub, and importing it into its own platform. Peter Steinberger called on Tencent to provide meaningful support rather than unilaterally consuming resources.
