I'm joining @OpenAI to bring agents to everyone. @OpenClaw is becoming a foundation: open, independent, and just getting started.🦞 steipete.me/posts/2026/ope…

@k_schellinger We don’t limit what skills are on there except for malicious things, but since it’s just text you should be fine.

@steipete Is ClawHub SFW?

Here's how we made ClawHub fast. Next we make ClawHub great for plugins.

@TroyXai @BradGroux @Jason @twistartups There’s a chance we can shape future standards, support the community and bring different players in the industry together - it’s so much more than the code.

@BradGroux @steipete @Jason @twistartups Openclaw was historic. the tipping point to be frank, but I’m confused about what we’re protecting. community growth? If so, ok 🙌 it’s a foundation by which many began the agentic AI journey, but…not to be discouraging “Claude, let’s make our own ‘OpenClaw’ from scratch.” 🤷‍♂️

If you care about the future of OpenClaw, be sure to follow Dave - he's on the board with @steipete and they are working together to protect the future of the project. Check out his conversation about the Foundation with @jason and @TWiStartups - youtube.com/watch?v=KEHMoI…

@kfirgollan @BentoBoiNFT one’s open source and you own your data and one’s by Ant.

@BentoBoiNFT @steipete would to love to hear your thoughts on this. To me it seems that automation/agents flow in OpenClaw is currently more geared towards autonomous operation. But, there is no question that the Claude code team are doing amazing work. Pushing ahead at lighting speed

Why would anyone choose OpenClaw vs Claude Code? Claude now has: • Discord/Telegram integration • Cron Jobs (/loop) • 1M token memory • Webhooks to phone • Can run 24/7 on any Computer or Mac Mini This covers 95% of what people actually use OpenClaw for with better security and easier setup The only reason to stick with OpenClaw is if you want a multi-agent setup. That's the only difference I could think of Going to stick with OpenClaw for now because of this, but the gap is almost at zero

@allanmacgregor @Nikokow man, i tweeted about this topic so many times of the years.

@steipete @Nikokow Where you because it seems you where trying to push the click bait title?

Surprised it lasted that long.

@iamelijahkhan PRs welcome. Any voting system will be abused tho so it’s all complicated

Ah you're right, just checked. However it's a bit barebones. I think some form of upgrade to it would be very helpful. Upvotes, downvotes, someway where it promotes discussion on each skill. Also moving it up (currently right at the bottom), and adding a link at the top saying "View Comments" too.

@nadcsr cool idea!

@steipete was hältst davon? OpenClaw wird kreativ und verändert stündlich die website: clawn.nader.io/?v=2026-03-20T…

i was skeptical of the openclaw concept first, but turned out i was just stupid very visionary product. perfectly predicted and made it obvious how having access EVERYTHING from ANYWHERE to do ANY work is clearly how the world will run very soon

@broadvideo_us No. This is a non-commercial project.

@steipete Will ClawHub support billing for specific plugins?

@iamelijahkhan There is one!

@steipete Can we get a comments section on ClawHub please?

@dewaldt_h @alexgrama 👀

@steipete @alexgrama Nice! While you're in there, we hit a web_fetch TLS bug on nvm-based Node.js installs (Node bundles its own CA store, bypasses system certs). My PR with fix + tests here: github.com/openclaw/openc…

What’s happening? @steipete

google deprioritises their chrome agent after openclaw goes vertical, browser agent usage “essentially amounts to a rounding error”

Cursor is raising at a $50 billion valuation on the claim that its “in-house models generate more code than almost any other LLMs in the world.” Less than 24 hours after launching Composer 2, a developer found the model ID in the API response: kimi-k2p5-rl-0317-s515-fast. That’s Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2.5 with reinforcement learning appended. A developer named Fynn was testing Cursor’s OpenAI-compatible base URL when the identifier leaked through the response headers. Moonshot’s head of pretraining, Yulun Du, confirmed on X that the tokenizer is identical to Kimi’s and questioned Cursor’s license compliance. Two other Moonshot employees posted confirmations. All three posts have since been deleted. This is the second time. When Cursor launched Composer 1 in October 2025, users across multiple countries reported the model spontaneously switching its inner monologue to Chinese mid-session. Kenneth Auchenberg, a partner at Alley Corp, posted a screenshot calling it a smoking gun. KR-Asia and 36Kr confirmed both Cursor and Windsurf were running fine-tuned Chinese open-weight models underneath. Cursor never disclosed what Composer 1 was built on. They shipped Composer 1.5 in February and moved on. The pattern: take a Chinese open-weight model, run RL on coding tasks, ship it as a proprietary breakthrough, publish a cost-performance chart comparing yourself against Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 without disclosing that your base model was free, then raise another round. That chart from the Composer 2 announcement deserves its own paragraph. Cursor plotted Composer 2 against frontier models on a price-vs-quality axis to argue they’d hit a superior tradeoff. What the chart doesn’t show is that Anthropic and OpenAI trained their models from scratch. Cursor took an open-weight model that Moonshot spent hundreds of millions developing, ran RL on top, and presented the output as evidence of in-house research. That’s margin arbitrage on someone else’s R&D dressed up as a benchmark slide. The license makes this more than an attribution oversight. Kimi K2.5 ships under a Modified MIT License with one clause designed for exactly this scenario: if your product exceeds $20 million in monthly revenue, you must prominently display “Kimi K2.5” on the user interface. Cursor’s ARR crossed $2 billion in February. That’s roughly $167 million per month, 8x the threshold. The clause covers derivative works explicitly. Cursor is valued at $29.3 billion and raising at $50 billion. Moonshot’s last reported valuation was $4.3 billion. The company worth 12x more took the smaller company’s model and shipped it as proprietary technology to justify a valuation built on the frontier lab narrative. Three Composer releases in five months. Composer 1 caught speaking Chinese. Composer 2 caught with a Kimi model ID in the API. A P0 incident this year. And a benchmark chart that compares an RL fine-tune against models requiring billions in training compute without disclosing the base was free. The question for investors in the $50 billion round: what exactly are you buying? A VS Code fork with strong distribution, or a frontier research lab? The model ID in the API answers that. If Moonshot doesn’t enforce this license against a company generating $2 billion annually from a derivative of their model, the attribution clause becomes decoration for every future open-weight release. Every AI lab watching this is running the same math: why open-source your model if companies with better distribution can strip attribution, call it proprietary, and raise at 12x your valuation? kimi-k2p5-rl-0317-s515-fast is the most expensive model ID leak in the history of AI licensing.

Wasn't joking about this one btw You can reverse-engineer pretty much any part of Apple platform internals in seconds using Claude or Codex with Hopper MCP

time to clone Claude Code channels: -13 days. and anthropic even named it the same as the preexisting pi extension (not saying they cloned it, and even if, GG!). that's hilarious.

OpenClaw and Pi together are in the top 10 of all time software breakthroughs.

me and everyone around me prompt codex and chatgpt with voice. the more decisions you can spit out to codex the better your code will be, so you're only interface limited the "everyone will use speech" guys were right, just 234 products and 18344 softwares too early

@Nikokow Apple’s stance with downloadable code is nothing new, always borderline, even React Native updates are only supposed to fix bugs.

@steipete I know you already know, we're both iOS veteran😄 but those website are spreading misinformation with clickbait titles, and people are sharing it blindly, not even searching if this is true or reading the article content...

Responses to this are hilarious. Codex implemented this correctly in 15 minutes btw
