What it does

KillClawd is a desktop pet powered by a local LLM. It runs as a transparent always-on-top overlay — a tiny AI crab called Clawd who wanders your desktop, reacts to your cursor, fights mobs, explores castles, rides vehicles, and has genuine opinions about your file organization. Its core: ~2K lines of vanilla JS + Electron + Ollama . No cloud. No subscription. The model runs entirely on your machine. Design philosophy : Clawd should feel like he's doing his own thing and you're interrupting him — not the other way around. # 1. Pull a model (do this once) ollama pull qwen:latest # 2. Clone git clone https://github.com/ninjahawk/KillClawd.git cd KillClawd Then double-click clawd.bat . It…from github.com

    I’ve been running Clawdbot for the last couple weeks and have genuinely found it useful but running it scares the crap out of me. OpenClaw has 52+ modules and runs agents with near-unlimited permissions in a single Node process. NanoClaw is ~500 lines of core code, agents run in actual Apple containers with filesystem isolation. Each chat gets its own sandboxed context. This is not a swiss army knife. It’s built to match my exact needs. Fork it and make it yours.

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
