However, Lin said that at present, the capability of OpenClaw greatly relies on the LLM it is based on.

　　In recent days, Chinese tech giants Tencent and Xiaomi rolled out installation programs for a small group of users for testing purposes.

　　On Friday, Xiaomi said on its Sina Weibo account that it had started a small-scale closed test for its Xiaomi miclaw agent based on its MiMo LLM. Due to its experimental nature, the company said that the closed beta test is by invitation only and will not be open to the public. Tech enthusiasts and heavy AI users are advised to back up their data securely beforehand and test and experience the product in a controlled environment.

　　On Friday, nearly 1,000 content developers and AI enthusiasts lined up at Tencent"s headquarters to get OpenClaw installed with the help of Tencent engineers, domestic news portal thepaper.cn reported on Saturday. There were even cases when tech enthusiasts charged others a fee for installation service.

　　Liu Dingding, a veteran industry analyst, told the Global Times on Sunday that the internet giants are enthusiastic about OpenClaw, as the rise of the new service will provide a great market opportunity for their cloud services or ecosystems.

　　The trend of "raising crayfish" is a boon for the services offered by Chinese tech giants, Liu said.

　　Liu agreed that there are potential risks from the new technology, but noted that homegrown alternatives in the future could serve to address some of the risks.

　　The attention gained by the AI tool has come amid warnings by Chinese authorities about its potential risks.
