For weeks I've been running synthetic benchmarks to see if a 2017 iMac can handle 30B parameter LLMs. The answer was yes, but benchmarks are boring. Today I wired up OpenClaw to my local Vulkan-accelerated llama-server and built a Telegram bot named ClawdyDawdy. It works. The e4b model at 24 tok/s is fast enough for conversational fluid responses, and handles tool-calling flawlessly. We're no longer just testing models, we're building autonomous agents that text me from a 9-year-old desktop.
