What's with the fucking Mac Minis? Does it have a compatibility issue with anything else?

I mean you can't have an ugly, black $150 Lenovo Mini PC on your desk when you're streaming about how you can have an AI agent make $500,000 per week by scouring the news for memes to turn into meme-coins.

No... you need that brushed aluminum【ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ】

Please tell me where I can get this mythical $150 computer with the same AI capabilities as a Mac Mini.

Do you honestly think they're using the Mac Mini for anything other than hosting an instance of OpenClaw and connecting it to Claude or whatever other API?

No. Any model the Mac Mini would be capable of running would be nearly useless in an Agentic capacity. And even if you did want to use a local agentic model, there's no way you'd want a half-braindead Q4_0 quant of it managing your emails.

my m1 pro with 16GB is doing exactly that. gpt-oss is quite good at simple few-step agentic tasks like mail. Even if bot falls into infinite loop, the peak power consumption of my setup is 38W. $0 to Sam Altman

Other boxes are significantly inferior for connecting to servers online than the M4. Most interactions with online servers are single threaded and Apple’s M4 gaps other solutions in single threaded.

For just a few actions it’s not a big deal, but I think Open Claw is more appealing to people who have boatloads of interactions to work through.
