How Far Can You Shrink an AI Assistant?
This is a practical experiment in running OpenClaw-style AI assistants on low-power hardware. I compare multiple deployment targets based on: - yearly power consumption - hardware cost - CPU and RAM capabilities Boards tested include Raspberry Pi 5 (in previous video), Radxa Cubie A7Z, and Luckfox Pico Max running OG OpenClaw and also the lightweight implementations like ZeroClaw and PicoClaw.
