There are people running OpenClaw, so yeah, crazy as it sounds, some do that.

I'm reluctant to run any model without at least a docker.

I run them all on an old Pentium J (Atom) NUC with 8GB RAM, so I don't even care. Some Chinese N100 mini PC for $100 is all one needs.

  • Using local models or external?

    If external, aren't they pricey? How much tokens they generate?

    If local, what runs on such hardware that gives reasonable results?

    • Local models on different machines with multiple RTX Pro 6000 or multiple DGX Sparks or a 512GB RAM Macstudio; the agents themselves run on that Pentium J NUC and just use exposed endpoints for local models. Forgejo for Git runs on another server. Therefore I don't really care if that NUC goes kaboom and can test everything quickly (OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi etc.). Or I can just use OpenRouter API key and access 10-100x cheaper models than Opus.
