With OpenClaw we are seeing how the app layer becomes as important as the model layer. You can switch models multiple times (online/proprietary, open weight, local), but you have one UI : OpenClaw.

Seems like models become commoditized?

Same for OpenClaw, it will be commodity soon if you don't think it is already

Did this guy just exit the first one man billion-dollar startup for... less than a billion?

Was the project really ever valued that high? Seems like something that can be easily replicated and even properly thought out (re: pi). This guy just ran the social media hype train the right way.

Wasn't this the same guy that responded with a shrug to thousands of malware packages on their vibe-repo? I'd say an OpenAI signing bonus is more than enough of a reward to give up that leaky ship!

Things that arn't happening any time soon but need to for actual product success built on top:

1. Stable models

2. Stable pre- and post- context management.

As long as they keep mothballing old models and their interderminant-indeterminancy changes, whatever you try to build on them today will be rugpulled tomorrow.

This is all before even enshittification can happen.
