something feels off to me about the clawdbot hype

About the maintainer's github:

688 commits on Nov 25, 2025... out of which 296 commits were in clawdbot, IN ONE DAY, he prolly let lose an agent on the project for a few hours...

he has more than 200 commits on an average per day, but mostly 400-500 commits per day, and people are still using this project without thinking of the repercussions)

Now, something else i researched:

Someone launched some crypto on this, has $6M mktcap

https://www.coincarp.com/currencies/clawdbot/

Crypto people hyping clawed: https://x.com/0xifreqs/status/2015524871137120459

And this article telling you how to use clawed and how "revolutionary" it is (which has author name "Solana Levelup"): https://medium.com/@gemQueenx/clawdbot-ai-the-revolutionary-...

Make of that what you will

It seems wildly trivial. Chat completion loop with toolcalling over a universal chat gateway.

What's the innovation here? Local model? That was always possible. Toolcalling? Been around a couple years now...

It's like 5 minutes of vibe coding at most. There's likely 1,000s of similar projects already on GitHub

And when you can use claude-code from basically any device (termux on phone via ssh), Why even bother?

I had 3 friends ping me yesterday to tell me how this is going to eat their job....

but i don't see how this is different from claude-code + some chat interface + mcp servers

> Why even bother?

Claude-code is closed-source. That is a good enough reason to look at alternatives.

Yeah but you're still using anthropic's subscription and tokens. That's not really an alternative. That's why we're shipping our own model with cortex.build

If you're not using Claude Code, why would you still use Anthropic. AFAIK their API pricing is not competitive.
