Anthropic's biggest miss of 2026 just happened.
Peter Steinberger built OpenClaw — the hottest AI agent on the planet right now.
180K+ GitHub stars. 3.4M views on the announcement tweet. Baidu integrating it. Used in 100+ countries.
And he built it alone. One person. One lobster mascot. 🦞
The kicker? He originally named it "Clawdbot" — after Claude. He recommended Claude Opus 4.6 as the default model. He was basically Anthropic's biggest unpaid evangelist.
Anthropic's response? A trademark cease-and-desist letter.
OpenAI's response? "Come build the future with us." Sam Altman called him a genius on X.
Steinberger spent last week in SF talking to every major lab. Both Zuckerberg and Altman personally courted him. He chose OpenAI.
Here's the part that hits different for the "one person billion dollar company" crowd:
Steinberger openly said he could have turned OpenClaw into a massive company. He chose not to. His words: "What I want is to change the world, not build a large company."
Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Andrej Karpathy — they all predicted the first solo billion-dollar company would happen by 2026.
Steinberger was the closest anyone has come. 180K stars. Global adoption. Zero employees. Zero VC. And he walked away from the company-building path entirely.
The man sold PSPDFKit for €100M+ before this. He didn't need the money. He needed the mission.
Three lessons from this:
Person building for fun and enjoying his work can do wonders.
Your biggest fans can become your biggest competitors. Don't send cease-and-desists when you should be sending job offers.
And the one-person billion-dollar company might not look like what we expected. The person who could build it might simply choose not to.
What a time to be building in this space.

For a moment, I felt like I brought Van Gogh back to life.
Using AI, I created portraits of myself as if Van Gogh himself had taken up his brush to paint me.
The result? Simply incredible capturing the essence of his style, vibrant colors, and unique brushstrokes.

✨ I used AI to create photos of myself in different moments throughout history and turned them into a video using @runwayml . From prehistoric times to the future 🚀.
Excited to share more content soon and help everyone get familiar with these tools in an easy way.
