How I Created OpenClaw, the Breakthrough AI Agent | Peter Steinberger | TED
OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger takes us back to the transformative moment he let his AI agent loose on the internet, igniting one of the world’s fastest-growing open-source projects. He makes a fascinating (and slightly unnerving) case that agents are a real shift, not just better versions of chatbots, and explores how they might reshape your…

Even if you’re not a gardener, its time to get your hands a little dirty #TEDTalks
Many gardeners work hard to maintain clean, tidy environments … which is the exact opposite of what wildlife wants, says ecological horticulturist Rebecca McMackin. She shows the beauty of letting your garden run wild, surveying the success she’s had increasing biodiversity even in the middle of New York City — and offers tips for cultivating…

The World’s First AI TED Talk
ChatGPT was recently asked what it would say to humans if it could give a TED Talk. It gave a surprisingly thoughtful answer that AI storyteller Ari Kuschnir and artist Schuyler Brown then brought to life. The result combines the latest AI tools with the deeply human craft of storytelling in a stirring reminder of…

A Plan to Stop AI from Automating Our Decline | Gina Raimondo | TED
The United States is on track to win the AI race — and hollow itself out in the process, says Gina Raimondo, former Governor of Rhode Island and US Secretary of Commerce. In this unflinching look at the threat of AI-induced economic disruption and social unrest, she offers a concrete blueprint to prepare workers for…

I think we all remember our first agentic AI moment when we realize AI was more than chat. For me it was when Comet assistant took over my browser and started fixing a huge problem for me all on it’s own on my screen watching it was surreal, it was explaining what it was doing every step of the way, it was incredible.

The hard truth is that maintenance of these systems is a permanent responsibility to ensure alignment. There is no “set it and forget it”. Its more like set it, define its boundaries, and continue redefining and evolving its boundaries so that when failure inevitably occurs its not catastrophic. Such is life. We need to live with the fact that failure is just a part of life. In fact, failure is what makes success meaningful
@dougewald243

Cannot all that “maintenance” be built into it?
Maybe not completely for now but to such a degree that minimal human monitoring is necessary?
The moment it does something too much unalligned we’ll know.

The 3-layer architecture is brilliant – Connectors → Gateway Controller → Agent Runtime with per-channel session isolation. I built ClawMetry (open-source observability for OpenClaw) on top of this and just shipped an LLM Context Inspector that visualizes the system prompt sections, bootstrap files, tool schemas, and how context grows until compaction kicks in. Your data model makes it possible to give users X-ray vision into what their agent is actually doing. Thank you for building this in the open.

Inspiring speech! Once thing scares me though: we have democratized building things, but what about the models that made that democratization possible? Recently Anthropic and OpenAI have slashed their rate limits and effectively made their coding agents more expensive. You now need to pay hundreds of dollars to be able to have a usable version of Claude Code or Codex. Also hardware to run open-source LLMs is more expensive than ever. If you have used OpenClaw with some decently smart OS models you probable know that it is not cheap. I’m afraid that as we move forward, all this newly created intelligence will be accessible to only to a few people who can afford it. If that’s the case, we will have many people who will be excluded from this revolution – with some serious economic and social consequences.

The landscape of local llm models is rapidly evolving. We will soon have small but just as efficient and powerful as some of these frontier models. It’s just a matter of time, but not too far off in the distance. I know it’s not the greatest but being able to run Gemma4 on a phone is wild, absolutely wild. I cant wait to see what this landscape looks like 6 months from now. Openclaw was the pivotal moment we needed to accelerate.
@tdsdesa
April 18, 2026 at 7:03 pm
@caterina101 I hope so. The fact that Qwen stopped releasing open source models was not a good sign for me. I’m afraid that soon or later the other chinese labs will follow.

Thank you Peter, open claw, Ted, Jensen, and strangely Apple. How did mini Mac’s become the preferred hardware?
@michaeldove902
April 18, 2026 at 7:37 pm
Unified memory. Typical GPU based solutions need expensive VRAM, upper end cards run about 24GB, so you’d need to stack cards to get decent RAM sizes for a model. A Mac can be spec’ed with 64GB+ of Unified Memory for a comparatively lower cost. This enables running larger more capable models.

So great to hear your story Peter from your mouth. Created my first Claw Agent_Griff January 30th (in a qemu VM), since then 28 more under NemoClaw sandboxed containers do various network assessments. And for every time I see the gateway start with some line, for instance: “Back online. The changelog is long but our friendship is longer.” I love it. Live Long & Prosper!🖖
(Note: Hope it’s ok that me being ignorant to the lobster thing back in Jan, I made Agent_Grff a griffin (Company logo). I feel that since griffin’s have claws and being mythical, let’s assume molting is possible. All my Nemoclaws are lobsters, sir.

Peter Steinberger has given humanity the greatest gift. The demorcratization, the freedom of the power of AI. Everyone who is pushing fear, doesn’t want you to use it, learn it, have it. They want to keep you from having access to what they have. They are the ones who said literacy was dangerous! Only the elite can be allowed to read books…to protect you peasants. Remember, the elite don’t like to share.

I do have a question. For someone with less than $100,000 to invest, How would you recommend we enter the market. I’m looking to study some traders and copy their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach??
