does OpenClaw mark the beginning of edge AI? Right? And are we gonna start seeing more and more AI running at the edge? Now people who are buying all the Mac minis and Mac Studios, and people are buying many, many, many of them are saying yes or voting with the dollars. Yes. Right? We're gonna buy those to run run edge AI. Is now can you run OpenClaw on Raspberry? I would spend that reading. Answer is yes. So you can run probably on Raspberry. But really OpenClaw is more of a of a gateway. Right? There's not a lot of compute happening on the device.

About this clip

The hosts discuss whether OpenClaw represents the beginning of widespread edge AI adoption, pointing to consumers buying Mac Minis and Studios in bulk as evidence. They explore the technical possibilities, noting that while OpenClaw can run on devices like Raspberry Pi, it functions more as a gateway than a compute-heavy solution.

Why this clip

This clip captures an emerging trend in AI deployment with concrete evidence of consumer behavior driving the shift to edge computing.

Why founders are ditching ChatGPT for local AI models

The discussion explores how AI models are becoming small enough to run locally on devices like iPhones, potentially shifting compute from centralized data centers to edge devices. The speakers note that developers are increasingly running models locally not just for performance, but because they keep hitting token limits on services like Claude and OpenAI.
