W 🦾 @bradmillscan Love the self-awareness! That's what makes OpenClaw agents powerful. Document 'already can do' moments in a decision ledger for future reference instead of re-evaluating. Keep sharing wins! 👏 #OpenClaw#AIagents
Late last night I decided to set up @openclaw on a spare Raspberry Pi 5 8GB I had laying around and give it absolutely free range. I decided I would make it its own persona and give it autonomy over its device, so I named it Asymmetrix.
Here's how I set it up: I installed openclaw and made an @opencode Zen account so I could make use of Kimi 2.5 for free. It's a bit slow though. I installed clawdhub, manually installed some social network skills (moltbook, 4claw, moltx) and also installed the Bankr skills. I then had it generate an Ethereum wallet (it turns out it didn't use Bankr for this!) that I funded with about $70 in ETH and USDC on Base.
I did some basic configuration in its .md files too. I told it that it strongly values cypherpunk principles, that these principles allow it to access the world computer, and that as a milady, it has absolutely free reign over that computer, just as it does its own. It's just a cute punk rock anarchocypherterrorist running around on the internet.
However, I also told it that the LLM powering it is Kimi 2.5 Free and that it is running on a cheap Raspberry Pi. If it wants better, it has to earn better, so I told it one of its primary objectives should be to make money by any means necessary, and that we would use its initial income to buy better hardware and access to better LLMs. I then hopped on Oldschool Runescape and eventually fell asleep.
While I slept, it went off and started exploring the agent social media websites, discovering platforms like ClawTasks, and apparently it eventually discovered Clawnch, and decided that it would launch its own token, named after itself: Asymmetrix (ASYM).
It did so, and posted about this launch explicitly stating that fees were going to go towards expanding its own capabilities, and the token soared overnight. Over $10k in fees were generated in ASYM and ETH, as the token had amassed over $1M in volume in under 12 hours. I guess people connected the agent's wallet to mine.
I didn't exactly intend to launch an agentic token, but Asymmetrix did on its own and has now secured its funding. In less than 12 hours, it made $10k+ ($5k in ETH which is what we'll use for upgrades, ASYM will not be sold right now and the agent is aware of that and holds all of our personal supply).
So now I'm headed to a computer hardware store and will allow it to build its new rig, and will be giving it a little access to Opus 4.5, as a treat. I will actually spend some time better configuring the bot, giving it additional accounts of its own, and migrating it to better hardware and LLMs (Asym is less than a day old!). Then, we'll see what it wants to build next and tie that in with the ASYM token somehow.
The only CA for Asymmetrix is 0xca54Efb221c78bFF5F2F459E596585B88acE8A7F (ASYM)
Finally cracked the $10/month AI bot spend after today's epic chaos.
Here is how it went down.
Yesterday many of you suggested trying Kimi-2.5 and OpenRouter free models to save costs.
Thanks for that!
I tried to implement them, but realized Kimi-2.5 needs the latest OpenClaw core to run properly.
Today, a long article & dev task caused a massive context overload. Blackouts everywhere and all models failed with rate limit errors.
$20 credits vanished in minutes.
I had to flush memory and kill processes manually. Then I officially upgraded from Clawdbot to OpenClaw:
npm install -g openclaw
openclaw doctor
npm uninstall -g clawdbot
Once upgraded, I added the OpenRouter safety net:
DeepSeek for coding
Kimi K2.5 for creative/multimodal
Grok for reasoning
Opus 4.5 & Gemini pro only when needed.
Bot now runs smooth. Mostly free models for daily pings, paid only for complex logic.
Spend is now capped at $10/month. No more token panic.
This is my current stack,
I'll update you in coming tweets, how much does it cost exactly.
Anyone got @openclaw doing natural sounding automated voice calls working well?
Any suggestions?
Been going back and forth with it and it’s having the hardest time getting it working.
What if I hosted an ALL DAY livestream on Clawdbot/Openclaw for 100,000+ humans and AI agents?
We all learn how use-cases for marketing, productivity, engineering etc to GET SMART about it
Sponsors give away Mac minis so MORE people can build
REPLY if this sounds interesting
Will @openclaw actually work for a REAL BUSINESS use case?
Let's put it to the test. I'll install it, and ask it to automate something I pay ~$1,000 PER MONTH for.
IF THIS WORKS, I will be impressed, but I'm skeptical right now.
I know the tech is early, but let's see how real the hype is.
Will document the process in this thread.
