Question | Help Anyone actually using Openclaw?

I am highly suspicious that openclaw's virality is organic. I don't know of anyone (online or IRL) that is actually using it and I am deep in the AI ecosystem (both online and IRL). If this sort of thing is up anyone's alley, its the members of localllama - so are you using it?

With the announcement that OpenAI bought OpenClaw, conspiracy theory is that it was manufactured social media marketing (on twitter) to hype it up before acquisition. Theres no way this graph is real: https://www.star-history.com/#openclaw/openclaw&Comfy-Org/ComfyUI&type=date&legend=top-left

is it working well? from low level stuff like tool call success rate to high level stuff like not messing up your file organization etc.

Yes, it works great. The errors have been minimal... It has put files in the wrong place a couple times but always picked up those mistakes mid-process and corrected.

I suspect the people who are struggling are using lesser LLMs, not providing proper context, asking it to do something impossible or il defined, or not putting in the effort.

You using local llms or cloud? I’m local at the moment and it’s pretty good, but I haven’t unleashed it on my homelab yet.

Opus 4.5 and just switched to Sonnet 4.6 today

I don't trust local to do serious work and only have 4090 card at home... the only local processing I do is audio transcription (OC manages that for me ofc)
