An M4 mini is overkill just to run OpenClaw. I'm running it on a Pentium J5005 and it's running 20 other services in Docker. I think the main thing was many wanted it to be able to access iMessage. I think people dream of also using the mac to run the LLM but the 16gb ones don't have enough ram.
- hparadiz 5mo agoThe shortage is for the 512, 256, and 128 models.
- reverius42 5mo agoThose are the ones that can run the LLMs. Not a coincidence.
- ashdksnndck 5mo agoThe basic 16GB Mac mini is also hard to buy. I bought one used not to save money but because I couldn’t find any store online with it in stock.
- amelius 5mo agoPeople are running openclown on microcontrollers.
- apexalpha 5mo agoWhen they say 'due to openclaw' they refer to running AI models that openclaw uses, not to openclaw itself.
- throwa356262 5mo agoYou can run nullclaw etc on a Pi zero. People who are paying big $ are mostly trying to run local LLMs. Personally, I would rather pay a few bucks for Qwen or just use gemma4 which runs on a potato. But I guess we are all different.
