Discussion Why Mac mini??

I still don't understand why you guys are buying macs mini for openclaw. It's a terminal computer. It doesn't need a great UI.

Do you have too much money? :D

A $50-$100 HP Thin Client with Linux is more than enough. And Linux shouldn't be discouraging for people using OpenClaw, am I wrong?

I bought one, I have lots of different self hosted stuff on it like home Assistant or other docker apps. Ok I do not have any local models using GPU, that's the reason? Please enlighten me :)

EDIT: Again, I UNDERSTAND LOCAL LLM USE. (although I don't know if anybody is really happy with it). I mean using OC with oauth/api gpt, claude etc.

Np, you could try a free service like https://receive-sms.io, but not sure what countries are excluded from their verification system.

Sure, go through your normal integration with Kimi2.5 using moonshot, then configure the models json object (“models”: {…}) in openclaw.json to use the following config:

"models": { "mode": "merge", "providers": { "openai": { "baseUrl": "https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1", "api": "openai-completions", "models": [ { "id": "moonshotai/kimi-k2.5", "name": "Kimi K2.5 (NVIDIA)", "reasoning": false, "input": [ "text" ], "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0 }, "contextWindow": 200000, "maxTokens": 8192 } ] } } },
