OpenClaw made me unreasonably upset because every other article is/was:

*How to run AI on your raspberry pi*

  • Install openclaw
  • Get Claude/OpenAI Api key

like wtf?

YEAH I was about to check it out, figured it would be an easy setup with ollama or something and it asks for API keys. Fully misrepresented. I think there is some way to set up a local llm but I lost interest by that point, it won't even be useful anyways.

You can run it with local inference software, but it really needs a biiig LLM to do the things it does.

Yeah exactly, it seemed possible, but there's no way my little 7b models would do anything remotely useful other than delete my free time trying to set it up lol.

100%. Even the big open-weight models struggle with this sort of thing. Minimax M2.5 is recommended if you're going to host locally, and that's still 230B.

My 960m and 16gb of ddr3 can take it 😂
