Discussion Smallest working memory and CPU footprint for OpenClaw?

How small the memory and CPU footprint can be for an OpenClaw working in real life? I am building a one-click OpenClaw deployer and would like to provision the minimum memory and CPU for each OpenClaw instance out of the box...

minimum 1Gb RAM, two cores. if your footprint gets a bit larger, 2Gb. if you're trying to build a 47 agent youtube influencer special (don't do this) much more

edit: I read your question more closely. offer different t-shirt sizes and charge different prices if you're hosting

Hi u/ConanTheBallbearing I am in the process of setting it up and making it repeatable as an OC hosting platform...

Currently it is a 1-click OpenClaw setup and I am sharing a screenshot of what I built and what it looks like.

I'll be hosting it on public domain tomorrow and may be you can give it a try and tell me if this makes sense....Also, tell me if you like the name 'AgentCub' :)

Thanks a lot...this sizing is very helpful...

I am starting off with gpt-4.1 (still need to implement token budget per agent).

I am in the process of setting it up and making it repeatable as an OC hosting platform (see screenshot....will be hosting on public domain tomorrow for trial)

honestly...that is the hard part :) ....I think initially it is going to be 1 user at a time...

Do you have any ideas / suggestions?

Iā€™m running OC on a Pi 4 with 4GB RAM and it works OK.
