Running an AI Agent on a $10 Board vs a Mac Mini

PicoClaw vs OpenClaw: A Code-Level Deep Dive
I read both codebases top to bottom. 25K LOC of Go vs 717K LOC of TypeScript. Here is what is actually different at the code level between PicoClaw and OpenClaw.
What You Lose (and Gain) Running PicoClaw Instead of OpenClaw
PicoClaw cuts 95% of the code. What does that actually cost you day to day, and what do you get back? A practical tradeoffs breakdown.
Running Your AI Assistant on Local GPUs for Free
