Running Agentic AI - Do you need a Mac Mini and a 4K display?
No, you just need a $50 Raspberry Pi and a $10 display.
This week, I gave in to the urge to try and run an autonomous agentic AI model myself. However, I did not have a 'state of the art' spare computer at my disposal.
Well, it turns out - one doesn't need one either.
I managed to run PicoClaw (A Golang rewrite of OpenClaw), which uses less than 10MB of RAM and connected it to a free Gemini API key. The results were impressive and I'm continuing to experiment further with this. I am left wondering if a device like this will be capable of becoming a Kernel Engineer for Xeneva someday!
I'll elaborate on the model's performance and the setup process in my next post!
