AI agent harnesses like OpenClaw are changing LLMs, inference, and CPUs

AI agent harnesses like OpenClaw are transforming how we build, train, and run AI models by orchestrating multi-step tasks. Small models with good harnesses can rival larger ones, causing a Mac Mini shortage. Training is shifting to reinforcement learning for tool calling, CPU demand is surging, and GPU-LPU combinations are becoming key. Future may offload work to client devices.
