💬 Notable Quotes

"I believe that computing demand has increased by 1 million times in the last two years. It's the feeling that we all have. It's the feeling every startup has."

— Jensen Huang
"Before OpenClaw, agents were mostly technical experiments that produced nothing more than timeline slop. After OpenClaw and with the advent of Opus 45 and 46, agents became accessible, just a telegram message away, always on, actually doing helpful things and kickstarting a new generation of digital opportunities."

— Kevin Sinclair
"ZAI has been the loudest open source voice in AI for two years. They just released their first closed source model. That one decision tells you more about where the industry is heading than any benchmark."
