Oh shit, you're actually building an inference engine. Wow!!!
OpenClaw is just an agentic interface to an AI LLM like OpenAI.
i.e. Agentic means it can do stuff like run (or break) your computer.
Definitely carry on building your local inference engine, but to run a claw, you only need a $5 a month VPS or, in my case, I'm running it on an old Raspberry Pi 4, connecting it to an OpenAI $20 a month subscription.
N.B. Don't install OpenClaw on your main computer, it will break it and destroy all your emails 😂
