It’s over. Anthropic just banned OpenClaw.
Uncensored thoughts:
1. Massive mistake that will come back to bite them
2. Open source needs to win. If you have a local model running on your Mac mini, no corporation will ever be able to ban you
3. ChatGPT 5.4 is the best model. But it sucks compared to opus in OpenClaw. I will continue to pay for Anthropic api
4. I have no doubt the next OpenAI model will be optimized for Openclaw and be excellent
5. In 6 months the local models will be as good as opus 4.6 and all of this will be forgotten
6. It’s feels like from a consumer sentiment perspective things have flipped for OpenAI and Anthropic. They were the darlings when Opus 4.5 came out
7. Going to the Kanye concert right now please don’t spoil the stage or set list in the replies
8. The best openclaw set up is now Opus as the orchestrator, then much cheaper models as the execution layer. If you do this properly you won’t be paying much more than $200 a month. I’m using Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 for execution on my DGX Spark and Mac Studio
🔥 **Gemma 4 is OUT** – Google DeepMind’s most capable open models yet! Dropped yesterday under full **Apache 2.0** license (commercial use = GO). Built from Gemini 3 tech. Four sizes: E2B & E4B (edge kings), 26B MoE & 31B dense.
**THE PLUSES** ✅
• Byte-for-byte best open models – 31B is #3 on Arena, crushes coding/math (LiveCodeBench 80%, AIME 89%)
• True multimodal: vision + audio + long 256K context
• Agentic superpowers out-of-the-box: multi-step planning, tool use, offline code gen
• 140+ languages & runs on-device (phones to workstations)
• Small models punch insanely above their weight
**THE MINUSES** ⚠️
• Trades punches with Qwen 3.5 27B – Gemma wins coding/multilingual, but Qwen edges some reasoning benchmarks
• 31B is VRAM-hungry in real use (context can eat memory)
• Still early – community finding quirks in long agentic flows
Game-changer for local & edge AI anyway. Grab it on Hugging Face, Ollama, or Google AI Studio NOW!

🚨 Jon Jones says he’s currently in negotiations with the UFC for his next fight, and says he WILL be fighting in 2025 “more than likely” 👀

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.
I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you 🙏
