Overview

ZeroClaw runs entirely on local hardware via Ollama or llama.cpp. Network egress is denied by default at the iptables level. AGPL-3.0 prevents hosted variants from being commercialised without source disclosure. Hardware floor is real (64 GB unified memory or 24 GB GPU).

Quick verdict

Best for

  • Data residency-mandated deployments
  • Privacy-first individuals running local Llama 3.3
  • Regulated industries needing fully offline operation

Not for

  • Cloud-LLM workflows
  • Hardware-constrained deployments (<32 GB RAM)
  • Teams expecting Claude-tier capability for free
