"Add a description" text area, writing a markdown bulleted (dashed?) list. Every time I press enter after the second item, it thinks for a few seconds and then inserts a SEVERAL LINES LONG sequence of dashes. Yes, instead of one dash for the next item it's like 200 and it literally freezes the UI for a couple seconds to do that. Amazing.
March 23, 2026 by Jean-Luc Aufranc (CNXSoft) - 3 Comments CIX ClawCore Armv9.2 CPU family targets OpenClaw deployments OpenClaw was just introduced a few months ago, but we’ve already seen several low-footprint implementations, and some companies even ship mini PCs preloaded with OpenClaw. But today, I was just informed that CIX had gone further, and introduced the ClawCore Armv9.2 CPU family specifically designed/optimized for OpenClaw. The family will be comprised of three main SKUs: ClawCore-P (勁螯芯 “Powerful Claw”) – High-performance model with 12-core CPU @ 3.2GHz, Immortalis-G720 GPU, 45 TOPS AI compute, and support for up to 64GB LPDDR5 RAM. Aimed at high-parallelism, large-capacity scenarios. Shipping starts now in March 2026. ClawCore-A (智螯芯 “AI/Smart Claw”) – Octa-core CPU @ 3.0GHz, 80 TOPS AI compute (expandable to 200 TOPS via PCIe AI card), up to 64GB LPDDR5. It’s designed for 24/7 use, supports full-chain ECC, hardware security (encryption/key management), and enables up to 50% reduction in model token costs via local inference. In practise, 80 to 90% of requests […]
