I'm planning on running it headless (after setup), but plans are made to be changed. To start I might buy some tokens from a vendor, but hoping to run at least small things locally. I know even a Raspberry Pi can run OpenClaw, but no real 'performance'. This is just for personal training for me (retiree that does it for entertainment and to keep my mind busy). I know I should just do a cloud based version, but I have an inherent dislike of subscription based services (not that I don't have several, yes, i'm an oxymoron personified <<grin>> ).
