  this is going viral on chinese social media right now. exo is being used by a school in china to deploy private ai agents locally. they repurposed m1 ultra macs from their film lab, clustered them together with @exolabs, and ingested their entire school corpus including [image]

  Yes and also a large contributing factor to why China dominates in consumer and why tech diffusion is so high among all age groups is because most of China is rural, so mobile computing became dominant since it was so accessible (most folks don't even own PCs) This bled through

  Step 1: @steipete release an open source agent framework Step 2: people line up outside Tencent HQ to install it OpenClaw adoption in China is on another level.

  A Chinese colleague summed up exactly why Europe could fail. Things used to be good so people are skeptical rather than curious about new technology.

• @perrymetzger Perry E. Metzger on x

  What is the difference between China and the United States on AI adoption? In the United States, hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent a year to convince people that AI is some sort of tragedy.

• @abcampbell @abcampbell on x

  don't think they are gonna pause AI guys

  This is why the China signal matters. Developers, indie hackers, entrepreneurs, retirees, and students users are now showing up offline to install agents. Many are already using OpenClaw to improve workflows and build one-person businesses. [image]

  Few people know how popular @openclaw is in China. Two scenes that went viral in Chinese social medias this week: 👵 Thousands of elderly people lined up so Tencent engineers could help them install it. 🎓 A Beijing school deploying AI agents for every student. From [image]

  Outside #Tencent's headquarters in Shenzhen, programmers have set up a stall offering free #OpenClaw installations, drawing crowds of people who showed up with their laptops for help. #China #technology [video]

  Photo from Shenzhen: huge crowd of Chinese people (lots of grannies!) lining up to get help installing OpenClaw. One thing about tech diffusion in China that I feel is underdiscussed and that I'll admit I don't fully understand, is how open people of all ages are to jump into

  Grannies in China lining up to learn Open Claw. This is what the lunatics are destroying here. Curiosity. Hope. Inquisitiveness. Adaptiveness at any age. Societies that are hopeful, thrive. Societies that are pessimistic, die.

  ClawVault is now available in Chinese. AI agents will handle trillions in transactions. Every language. Every market. Every user will need the same thing — a way to trust agents with money without trusting them completely. We built that layer. Now in Chinese. 🦞 [video]

  It isn't just about having the best AI models, but also about the extent of their economic diffusion. If people in the US are skeptical and are avoiding these tools, then it is like these models never existed in the first place.

  The charm of #OpenClaw! 🌟 Tencent's public setup service event drew in 60+ year-olds incredible enthusiasm! From retired aviation technical engineer to librarian, they're looking forward to embrace AI agents. Stay curious, stay digital! [image]

  OpenClaw is blowing up in China This should not be surprising if you know the (long) history of open source in China All major players have well-internalized the commercialization playbook: - popular open source tool pops up? - provide cloud hosted solutions to make setup

  🦞🦞OpenClaw is ~blowing up~ in China and all the main cloud providers Alibaba Tencent etc have embraced and promoted it, moving much faster than American counterparts [image]

• @poezhao0605 Poe Zhao on x

  Nearly 1,000 people lined up at Tencent's Shenzhen HQ last week to install OpenClaw. Half of all tracked OpenClaw agents now originate from China. The real story is why every major Chinese tech company rushed to support it. New analysis coming soon. Subscribe so you don't

• @poezhao0605 Poe Zhao on x

  Everyone is sharing photos of crowds lining up for OpenClaw in Shenzhen. I've seen the same hype flooding my WeChat groups. My read: this looks like tech enthusiasm, but the real fuel is job market anxiety. China's employment pressure has been building since COVID. From DeepSeek

• @michaelguimarin Michael Guimarin on x

  People I know who are well out on the innovation curve, late majority/laggards are dropping $10k on local inference machines to run OpenClaw. “We went from not selling [] to being sold out (globally) in a matter of hours.” If it's a mania I haven't seen it like this since the

  OpenClaw adoption in China is accelerating across all the platform. Wuxi become the 2nd govt to actively encourage its adoption w/ 12 new policies + subsidies. ByteDance rolled out ArkClaw for 9.9 RMB or 49.9 RMB/month supporting Doubao, Kimi, Minimax & GLM. Tencent cloud is [ima…

  Crucially, this pivot turns the consumer market into a massive laboratory; by deploying these agents at scale, companies are harvesting high-value, real-world “action data” that could prove more valuable than traditional training sets.  —  www.scmp.com/tech/tech-tr...
