Optimization guides, deployment playbooks, and practical tutorials for running OpenClaw at scale.
Peter Steinberger built OpenClaw — 180K+ stars, used in 100+ countries, Claude Opus as default model. He was Anthropic's biggest unpaid evangelist. They sent a cease-and-desist. OpenAI sent a job offer. Sam Altman called him a genius. Zuckerberg argued about Claude vs. Codex with him on the phone. One of these was a $100B-class mistake.
Everyone's talking about their teams like they were at peak efficiency, bottlenecked only by typing speed. METR study: devs with AI are 19% slower but believe they're 20% faster. AI code has 1.7x more issues. Your best engineers are drowning in slop. Your CFO is having a meltdown. Here's what's actually happening.
Researchers audited all 2,857 ClawHub skills and found 341 malicious ones distributing Atomic Stealer malware. Bitsight tracked 30,000+ exposed instances growing to 135K+ by mid-February. 63% exploitable, 12,812 vulnerable to RCE. Here's the full breakdown and how to protect yourself.
A weekend hobby project hit 100K GitHub stars in 48 hours. It took React 8 years. Three name changes in 4 days, a trademark cease-and-desist that backfired, Moltbook's 1.5M AI bots, and an ecosystem explosion from ESP32 to enterprise cloud. The full story.
The most security-focused OpenClaw release yet. Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3-Codex support, a new skill code safety scanner responding to ClawHavoc, credential redaction, xAI Grok integration, Unbrowse browser automation, and critical cron fixes. Everything that matters.
I dug into GitHub issues, API pricing docs, and real billing data to find every cost optimization that actually works. The hidden 93.5% token waste bug, session initialization, model routing, free Ollama heartbeats, prompt caching, and monitoring. Six config-level changes backed by real data.
