Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
Andrej Karpathy, former Tesla AI director and OpenAI researcher, discusses his exploration of 'Claws' - a new layer of AI technology built on top of LLM agents. He purchased a Mac Mini specifically to experiment with OpenClaw, noting that Apple store employees reported high demand and confusion about the devices. Karpathy expresses some skepticism about running OpenClaw but praises the concept, comparing Claws to how LLM agents were a new layer on top of LLMs. He sees Claws as advancing orchestration, scheduling, context management, tool calls, and persistence capabilities in AI systems.
