OpenClaw

OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted AI agent framework that crossed 100,000 GitHub stars within a week of its January 2026 release and has since become one of the fastest-growing projects in GitHub history. It runs on hardware you own, connects to more than 20 messaging platforms, and works with any large language model you choose to configure. Stark Insider covers OpenClaw as the framework behind our own AI agents, including hands-on notes from running it in production.
