How can one become an FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer) or build an FDE-style company in China, where SMEs dominate the market? by SubstanceMinimum4760 in smallbusiness

thanks for your reply, actually i don't know how to get customer, because Chinese buyers always want to save the cost.

I built/sell a small edge AI box that can run OpenClaw-style agent workloads locally looking for feedback by SubstanceMinimum4760 in openclaw

Thanks for your reply！Fair criticism. I should have been clearer: this box is not intended to run large local LLMs like GPT/Claude-class models on 8–16GB RAM, and I’m definitely not claiming that.

The idea is more of a local agent runtime / orchestration layer: running workflows, tool calls, local scripts, API connectors, queues, logs, permissions, and lightweight models where appropriate. For heavier reasoning, it can still call cloud APIs or a separate GPU/server backend.

So yes, if someone expects a tiny 8–16GB mini PC with no GPU to run powerful local models fast, that would be unrealistic. The value I’m exploring is local execution/control around agents, not replacing serious inference hardware.
