I've just installed it in VSCode and started playing and it looks really good. The only thing it's missing is a persistent icon in the sidebar of VS Code - so it's always available with a click. Apart from that, I haven't really started using it yet in earnest, but from first looks setting up the API, etc., it seems very solid.

Awesome, I'll definitely take a look asap.

Doesn't exist? Wow you'd better tell VTT to stop their testing then.

Nice. It would be great if it could be used with something like Openrouter BYOK, to give more modern flexibility and costs.

I think the problem is there are so many different aspects of this thing we call AI that it's hard to pin down any particular use case. For some users it's brilliant because if you're doing something like marketing imagery etc it can dramatically reduce costs, especially if you're using on premise models on your own hardware without touching the cloud.

But for other uses, i.e. companies who've just thrown AI money at the wall, probably using chatGPT, they wonder why they're not getting the return on investment they were promised. It's all a bit confused at the moment. Rather like the beginning of the internet days were.

I'm not having to go at you specifically, but take a guess at how many openclaw / agentic system installations I've done recently which have worked perfectly out of the box. Yep. 0%. Interesting, isn't it?

OpenClaw config needs cleanup Picnic stopped before restart because C:\Users\User\.picnic\openclaw.json contains keys OpenClaw does not accept.

Unsupported keys error: too many arguments for 'config'. Expected 0 arguments but got 1. What is safe to edit Only documented OpenClaw schema fields should live in openclaw.json. Picnic metadata or experiments should go in separate files. Recommended fix Remove unsupported keys, then retry. If you need Picnic-specific metadata, store it outside openclaw.json.

Will this work with an openrouter key?

That's actually quite clever. I guess battery life will be the issue. But nice to see something like this as open source.

:) Regrettably, that's not the mass adoption we were all hoping for.
