PicoClaw (sipeed/picoclaw) is an ultra-lightweight OpenClaw variant developed by Sipeed (an embedded hardware company) targeting $10 hardware with under 10 MB RAM.
Written in Go, PicoClaw uses less than 10 MB of RAM — 99% smaller than OpenClaw — and runs as a single binary that boots in under 1 second on a 0.6 GHz single-core processor. It hit 12,000 stars in its first week after releasing February 9, 2026.
Supported platforms include Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, embedded devices, x86_64, ARM64, RISC-V, and MIPS. Build targets include `make build-pi-zero`, `make build-linux-arm`, and `make build-linux-arm64`. Designed by Sipeed (RISC-V hardware maker); the AI agent reportedly drove the entire Go migration. Official website: picoclaw.net
