Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
OpenClaw, a project for training and testing large language models, gets a new lease on life as an open-source project. Because what’s more open than a project that was already collaborative? OpenAI is letting the community take the reins, because that’s always worked out well in the past. OpenClaw’s future is now in the hands of the people, which is code for “we’re not paying for it anymore.” OpenClaw: because open-source is the new “we couldn’t make it work.”
