Overview
PicoClaw is a single Go binary for x86_64, ARM64, MIPS, RISC-V and LoongArch that runs a personal agent in roughly 10 to 20 MB of RAM and boots in under a second on a 0.6 GHz core. It talks to 30+ LLM providers via a model_list config, supports MCP, image input and rule-based model routing, and reaches Telegram, Discord, Matrix, IRC and WeChat. A WebUI launcher on port 18800 handles setup.
Who it is for: Hobbyists running an agent on tiny SBCs, routers or old phones
Strengths
- Single static binary for RISC-V, ARM, MIPS and x86; runs on $10 Linux boards
- 10 to 20 MB resident memory; boots in under 1 s on 0.6 GHz
- 30+ providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, vLLM, Bedrock and Copilot
- Android APK turns old phones into an assistant host
Weaknesses
- README warns of unresolved security issues; not for production before v1.0
- Gateway binds 127.0.0.1 by default; Docker needs PICOCLAW_GATEWAY_HOST=0.0.0.0
- AWS Bedrock support requires a custom build with -tags bedrock
- No root Dockerfile; compose file lives under docker/ and needs a first-run bootstrap
What it needs
- RAM ≥ 0.02 GB
- no GPU
- Docker + Compose
- Models: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek
- port 18800
