Reading their explanation, I am extremely cautiously not pessimistic. They don’t seem to be trying to sell access to gpus, they haven’t announced a partnership with an AI company (though I’m sure they will) and they are starting with accessibility features, which are sorely lacking and could be made far, far better through the use of small LLMs. They are packaging models in snaps and claiming they will come with optimizations, though we’ll see if it makes a difference.
They are also incredibly cautious to not claim you can develop with any of these AI tools, and any system administration should be done with “strict guard rails”. It seems like they are trying to almost limit the damage people setting up openclaw do to their system (or a businesses system) by implementing their own alternative. The plan they lay out comes off as a way to market to corporations while being unobtrusive enough for a regular user. If they follow the plan (IF!) I don’t think it’s terrible middle ground.
