OpenClaw on Raspberry Pi
Can you run OpenClaw completely locally? Is it a good idea, and do you really need to shell out 599 USD for a Mac Mini? In today’s video, I get my claws out (literally) and a Raspberry Pi to fight through the hype and find the truth. We test the bare minimum local model (gpt-oss:20b) to see how well it handles tasks like web browsing and file editing without an internet connection. I also briefly mention other "Claws" like PicoClaw and ZeroClaw. Spoiler: they are re-implementations and differ quite a lot!
