LOL 😂
That is funny, but the real answer is this.
OpenClaw is not an AI or LLM, it is a gateway and so doesn't need a high spec'd machine to run on.
However, OpenClaw does need a brain, an LLM to route inputs to. Most people use public cloud LLMs, but if you are spending too much on tokens or monthly subscriptions, or simply want to run unlimited inference yourself, then you're going to want a brain substrate for your local LLM.
The above seems to be a good option for that. You could run OpenClaw on the same machine, but do you really want an agentic agent having full access to the machine your brain is located on. Probably not.
