The amount of ram available on a Mac Mini is not good enough for a decent open model for OpenClaw, everybody is using remote AI services on those.

You can get up 64GB of memory.

It's very difficult to get this much memory on a graphics card.

I know, but which open model that fits in there is useful enough for OpenClaw? I don’t think there is one.

If you look at the videos and blog posts where they recommend getting a Mac Mini for this are recommending the base model (which comes with just 16GB), precisely because it’s the cheapest Mac that can read your reminders, use iMessage etc. that’s what those using OpenClaw want from the Mini, not its inference capabilities.
