I love your enthusiasm, however stop buying Mac Minis. You can run OpenClaw on almost anything. Mine is running on a laptop from 2016.

True. People are buying them with the wrong specs / intentions. A $2600 Mac mini will actually run decent Qwen models on board and can mitigate token costs with a good routing policy, and/or an operator who knows when to delegate to cloud models. What seems expensive up front can actually be a good investment saving hundreds in tokens per month. (Depends on user of course… you are probably right for most people)

My use cases don't justify running local models as they can't compete with Claude Opus. When that changes I'll run them locally, but not on a Mac.
