How many tokens per second would you even get on them?

Afaik most openclaw users aren’t running their llm locally - just using a mac mini as an always-on sandbox for agents.

Cool, like a $5 VPS?

A $5 VPS is easy to block. It's way harder to block a stock mac mini from a residential IP address

		But why a Mac mini over a $30 raspberry pi on the same residential connection?

Yes, but 100 times more expensive.

A sandbox with access to iMessage. Can't have your agent texting with green boxes.

OpenClaw was originally designed to run on a Mac, but using remote LLMs accessed via API. Running the LLM locally on beefier hardware came later.
