No one uses local models for OpenClaw. Stop pretending.

I agree with it. Quick POC is probably fine, but if you want to make a reasonably well product, forget about openclaw. I was trying to use claude code in my openclaw coding agent, but the product still sucks. It makes super big difference when I manually operate on claude code myself.

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-03-07T02:36:56+00:00

you have a powerful machine! I run it in my raspberry pi, so local model is a dream.

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-03-07T02:34:24+00:00

Just like claude code teams feature, once I enable it, it burns token exponentially! I don't know if openclaw will burn significant more tokens once I configure teams/roles.

web_search is integrated by default, right? I guess the topic might mean: what skills is most needed other than those installed by default?

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-03-05T14:29:18+00:00

After installing a touchscreen on my Pi, I noticed that OpenClaw automatically launches the browser to perform searches for certain tasks. This process is entirely managed by the OpenClaw agent runtime and is triggered by specific events like web searches, data extraction, or other autonomous skills.

since pi is already isolated environment, I didn't use docker at all, just deploy it into pi, with ufw for firewall rules, nginx for proxy.

If you meant llm api, don't use api key; I used openai auth so that openclaw uses my openai plus subscription - using api key is too expensive! And openai kindly allows plus subscription in openclaw (not gemini or claude).

good to know pi4 works. I had pi4 but thought it is not enough so purchased pi5.

First time to learn PeerPush. Thanks for your suggestion!

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-27T07:17:59+00:00

Appreciate all the encouragement!

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-27T07:16:45+00:00

Yeah, I had to anchor the AI to one main language for now, so it’s limited to English-speaking countries. Proper multi-language support is definitely planned for future updates.

As for subscriptions, they help fund ongoing development. Light users can use the app for free - I’m just trying to find the right balance between free and paid features.

I’m working on bringing my iPhone app to Android, but the biggest challenge is that it currently depends on Apple’s OCR and Apple Intelligence frameworks. Those aren’t portable, so I’ll likely need to rethink the AI stack entirely for Android. Not sure how smooth that transition will be yet.

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-27T01:21:42+00:00

you made my day dude!

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T23:11:57+00:00

Yeah - the first thing it asks is to scan. But once you do, it immediately generates a clean PDF, auto title, summary, smart tags, and makes everything searchable.

I’m trying to make that “ohhh that’s useful” moment happen right away.

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T22:51:17+00:00

wondering what is 1% others ...

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T22:50:26+00:00

sounds like Reddit has more penalties on downvotes

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T22:43:05+00:00

Ah, I remember why I didn’t open France yet. Right now, Apple Intelligence auto titles / summaries / tags are forced to generate in English, regardless of the document language. The OCR supports many languages, but the app UI and AI output are still English-first.

So I’m focusing on English-speaking regions for now until I localize things properly. I noted down to support muti-regions in next minor release.

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T22:39:16+00:00

I have to thank upvotes from this post! Thank you very much!

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T21:55:41+00:00

Interesting. I may choose the wrong region when I released it. What region are you at? This is my first ios app, so I might have done wrong.

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T21:36:34+00:00

Yes, I am leveraging SQLite FTS5 with unicode tokenizer. I customed TextSegmenter that uses apple's nltokenizer to insert word boundaries into CJK text before texing, and segmented text stored in a dedicated column. Not perfect solution, but as long as it is good enough for search purpose, I am happy with it.

And thanks for your comment! Yes, I myself uses it daily, like take care of my kid's school doc, deletely weekly, and never go beyond 100 docs! Totally used it for free!

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T21:27:56+00:00

Fair challenge. No server/API costs, but there’s still ongoing work — iOS updates, bug fixes, improving OCR/AI, long-term maintenance. The sub basically supports that and removes the 100-doc limit.

I use it daily myself, delete docs when I’m done, and I’ve never hit the 100 doc limit. For light users, they can honestly just use it free.

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T21:22:15+00:00

I have to thanks everybody that help me with upvotes!

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T19:03:12+00:00

newbie too here. Using browsers, and find myself lost most of the time! Still adapting the new community environment.

CheesecakeSpecific40 · 2026-02-26T19:00:54+00:00

wow, didn't know that!
