Hello World! PicoClaw is Here

What is PicoClaw?

In one sentence: an ultra-lightweight AI assistant that runs on low-cost hardware.

PicoClaw is written from scratch in Go. It uses less than 10MB of RAM, boots in under 1 second, and supports x86, ARM, RISC-V, and LoongArch architectures. You can deploy it on a Raspberry Pi, an old phone, a NanoKVM, or even a $9.9 LicheeRV-Nano — and chat with it through Telegram, Discord, WeChat, Feishu, DingTalk, QQ, and 18+ other platforms.

It is not a fork of OpenClaw. PicoClaw is an independent open-source project initiated by Sipeed.

Currently 26K+ Stars on GitHub, with active contributions from developers worldwide.
