This may be controversial, but hear me out… OpenClaw is dying if it’s not already dead…

Summary

The article argues that OpenClaw, an open-source AI coding agent, is declining or dead, pointing to its creator Peter Steinberger's move to OpenAI, and the rapid development of competing tools like Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex.

Here are some of the facts: - Peter Steinberger (the creator of OpenClaw) joined and has been with OpenAI since FEBRUARY, literally just three months after ClawdBot was released. He’s obviously not sitting around doing nothing at OpenAI’s headquarters. What company do you think he’s been devoting his time to? - Anthropic has been going absolutely all-in on Claude Code. They released “Dispatch”, allow it to control your computer, and have their own version of “heartbeats” to keep it running. - OpenAI last week basically scrapped the ChatGPT branding from their desktop app and are now calling it “ChatGPT Codex”, basically pointing to the direction that they’re going in as a company with the product. Like Claude Code, Codex also operates on its own, can control your computer, and in fact is looking more and more like OpenClaw (most recent example being you can “steer” it by sending another prompt while it’s still working—where do you think they obviously got this idea from?).
