Pico Claw

A Chinese hardware team just mass-democratized AI agents.

They took a 430,000-line AI assistant that needs a $599 Mac Mini and 1GB of RAM — and rewrote it in Go so it runs on a $9.9 dev board with less than 10MB of memory.

Boot time: from 500 seconds to 1 second.

– The post highlights PicoClaw, a Go-refactored version of the open-source OpenClaw AI agent, enabling it to run on a $9.9 LicheeRV Nano board with under 10MB RAM and 1-second boot times, versus OpenClaw’s typical 1GB+ RAM needs on devices like a $599 Mac Mini.

– GitHub data confirms PicoClaw’s launch on February 9, 2026, amassed over 7,400 stars in four days, with developers claiming 95% AI-generated code; the demo video shows real-time WeChat interactions for tasks like code generation and scheduling.
– While the post emphasizes rapid AI commoditization, community replies and Hacker News discussions note OpenClaw already runs on low-cost Raspberry Pi setups without a Mac Mini, suggesting the hardware barrier was overstated, though PicoClaw’s microcontroller efficiency advances edge AI deployment.
