Peter Steinberger

This is CloudDuet, this is the same thing that we've talked to you about where OpenAI released DOTS and, you know, obviously Metamuse is changing the category with regular folks and just announced Metamuse Wonder last week.

this is a huge thing as far as i want to kind of highlight we on the show have been or at least some of us on the show have been assistant build since early early clod bot days you guys remember rolling back to clod bot which was the the the pre before we named name for open claw and There is a reason why Anthropic reached out to Peter Steinberger and asked him to change the name for Cloudbot.

Also a reminder that OpenClaw and Hermes worked the best with Anthropic models.

And then Anthropic just shut them down.

Like they have a multiplayer mode.

And what Peter Steinberger has talked about that they have found success with is this idea of sort of working with your agent coworkers, but then perhaps reaching a point where you're like, well, I actually don't know.

I kind of need this other person's opinion.

And you can invite them into the party and they come into the party with full context, with the ability to give the agent feedback, or maybe the agent can ping them and say, you know, hey, I noticed that Ryan asked me to do this thing for this client.

No, this is when it actually started doing stuff while publishing things from end to end.

And once that capability was out there, you had these genius level thinkers, people like Peter Steinberger, who you met, who built this open source application around it called OpenClaw.

And I know I went through some name changes at first, but OpenClaw harnessed the power of Clawed Opus 4.6.

It could work with any model, but it really leveraged the power of Opus 4.6 to create a virtual assistant that's not human.

It learns, it keeps a vault, like a memory, it's called a workspace, but it's just a folder of documents that it keeps updated so that the memory is more persistent.

And since then, there have been other applications that came out like Hermes that have even improved upon that system.

But props to Peter Steinberger.

I would love to hear your interactions with him because he really changed an industry and took us.

Do you remember that whole idea about one person building a billion-dollar company with no employees, no human workers? I think the clock on that has just started.

This beefy fella is Peter Steinberger.

Andre Karpathy posted a huge post just a few hours ago about where coding is heading.

Not just coding, just software engineering in general.

Someone responds that 10X Engineer can be a one man army.

There could be soon a one person billion dollar company.

Andre responds tagging Peter Steinberger saying you can do it.

So Peter, he came back from retirement to mess with AI and to help build the lobster to take over the world.

It took various autonomous actions while you slept.

It was created by Peter Steinberger.

It was the fastest growing open source project of all time.

Went absolutely viral actually not that long ago, early 2026.

I use it to this day, almost every single day.

Now, during this time, there's a lot of things that Anthropic did that some people disagreed with, some people didn't like.

They did send Peter Steinberger a cease and desist.

I think in one of the interviews, he said that they did reach out.

So Andrej built a cardio tracker, right? Where his agent keeps track of when he does cardio.

And by the way, Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, he pretty much said this, like everything in the future will be an API, and we're seeing that in real time.

That was a very prophetic call.

So again, I wear my little WHOOP.

Make sure you don't have anything there that, that you're willing to lose.

But start playing around with it because I think it'll really give you kind of a, a sense of, of where things are heading.

Because as of right now, there's definitely the sense that there's a small group of people that are getting it, that are seeing the future, right? So I mean, Andrej Karpathy, Peter Steinberger obviously, right? They're, they're, they've, they've thought through where things are going, and they're, they're building towards that future.

And the majority of people, people, you know, like in the finance industry, again, very, very smart people, but I'm sure they're not thinking about this from first principles, right? They have their, their ideas, the stuff they, they learned in the market, how things work.
