Okay interesting, so maybe openclaw does a lot less than I thought it did; really I have no excuse not to be just trying it myself regardless, given that I'm sitting on a 9070 XT.
It doesn't look like you're building directly on openclaw, so is that coming from a place of different goals or philosophy, or what?
Openclaw is great from when I’d used it for a couple months, the key difference is that for Openclaw you’ll have to actually schedule the cron jobs or automated tasks yourself, so it’s a decision on your part to make the AI do a thing whereas Orb is a decision on the part of the AI (after your approval) to do the thing. So it’s a kind of shift of agency. Openclaw could definitely do many similar things, it just would do them only after you specifically instructed it to.
It’s built as it’s own backend and philosophy wise, I want my personal AI to connect to everything in my life and have complete context over all data that I own, be compiled into a neat stack of data accumulating, then when it thinks it’s appropriate to do/say something, it’ll do it without my involvement.
Nice card btw, I got my RTX 5070 a couple months ago and it runs like a dream.
I mostly got it to play Arc Raiders tbh, but I did kind of have in mind that it was worth stretching for 16GB so that local models would be on the table.
