This is absolutely glorious. We used to talk about "smart devices" and IoT… I would be so curious to see what would happen if these connected devices had a bit more agency and communicative power. It's easy to imagine the downsides, and I don't want my email to be managed from an ESP23 device, but what else could this unlock?
haha well I got something ridiculous coming soon for zclaw that will kinda work on board.. will require the S3 variant tho, needs a little more memory. Training it later today.
It's not completely impossible, depending on what your expectations are. That language model that was built out of redstone in minecraft had... looks like 5 million parameters. And it could do mostly coherent sentences.

Genuinely curious - did you use a coding agent for most of this or does this level if performance take hand written code?
"LLM backends: Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter."
And here I was hoping that this was local inference :)
Sure. Why purchase a H200 if you can go with an ESP32 ^^

right, 888 kB would be impossible for local inference
however, it is really not that impressive for just a client

Is there a heartbeat alternative? I feel like this is the magic behind OpenClaw and what gives it the "self-driven" feel.
Serious question: why? What are the use cases and workflows?
I don't fully get it either. At least agents build stuff, claws just run around pretending to be alive?
for fun!
I don't really need any assistance...
Me neither.
But I have 10-15 ESP32's just waiting for a useful project. Does HN have better suggestions?

Why do you have so many? eWaste..
No, no, but we insist!
