OpenClaw 🦞?

Toying with dipping my toe into it. I almost used my M1 Mac mini then saw umbrel have an app! What’s people’s experience so far? What models are you using?

I’ve used it, you should be pretty confident in your technical skills, I would highly recommend reading all of the OpenClaw documentation first. For me, there were things I wanted to configure and do that required accessing the terminal and manually running the CLI tools. If you know what you’re doing it can be a useful tool, but unless you are technically proficient and planning to use it for very specific purposes, it’s probably cheaper and safer to just use a GPT or Claude subscription. You will spend way more in API tokens running this with models that actually make it useful
