We're talking 19 days between Anthropic sending him a cease-and-desist letter for calling it "Claude Bot" and him selling to OpenAI for what I imagine is around a billion dollars. He's one guy from Austria who's been grinding away on GitHub projects for years, and suddenly every major AI lab in San Francisco is chasing him down. Sam Altman got him, Zuckerberg tried, and Peter's now moving to San Francisco to build a version of OpenClaw that even his mum can use. The project's staying open source in a foundation, which is promising, though I suspect OpenAI will spin off a closed-source version where the real development happens. The big losers here? Anthropic, who fumbled this spectacularly by only ever communicating with Peter through legal threats instead of actually talking to him. They could've partnered with the fastest-growing open source AI project of all time, but instead they're the baddies in this story. And Europe yet again loses top talent to Silicon Valley because we simply don't have the ecosystem or resources to compete. Fair play to Peter though. Thirteen years of building, 40+ projects on GitHub, and he's finally hit something genuinely transformative. OpenClaw is essentially the Jarvis we were promised a persistent AI assistant that actually works proactively rather than just sitting there waiting to be asked. It's got rough edges and security concerns, but as a preview of what's coming, it's bloody exciting. —— Time Stamps —— 00:00 OpenClaw Sold to OpenAI: How One Developer Became a Billionaire 01:45 What Is OpenClaw?
