2026年2月，Andrej Karpathy 强调了一种新的AI发展趋势，他称之为“爪子”（Claws）。在LLM代理的基础上，“爪子”代表着更进一步的复杂性，改进了编排、调度、上下文管理和持久性。本质上，“爪子”是设计在个人硬件上运行并通过消息进行通信的AI代理系统。Karpathy 注意到小型、开源“爪子”实现激增，例如 NanoClaw（仅4000行代码）以及 Nanobot 和 Zeroclaw 等。他认为“爪子”将成为这个类别的定义术语，并对AI堆栈中这一新层的潜力感到兴奋，认为它是从LLM到LLM代理的自然演进。这种受欢迎程度显而易见，据报道，Mac Minis 正在迅速售罄，许多爱好者渴望进行实验。

## “爪子”：一种新的AI代理方法 Hacker News上的一讨论围绕着Andrej Karpathy对“爪子”（Claws）的看法——一种由Peter Steinberger最初提出的新型AI代理概念。与专注于工具使用的传统代理不同，“爪子”被描述为利用LLM进行推理的*持久进程*，通过计划任务和代理间通信运作。本质上，“爪子”是一种在计划下运行的自主代理，监控收件箱或其他触发器以执行操作，可能可以访问个人凭据。一位评论员将其比作“代理的cron”。虽然OpenClaw等工具展示了这种方法的可行性，但用户指出Pantalk等现有解决方案可以在没有它的情况下实现类似的功能。鉴于这些代理可能拥有的访问权限，即使使用容器化，也存在数据安全方面的担忧。对话还涉及潜在的应用，例如电商机器人（“圣诞爪子”），以及对这些自主代理标准化接口和市场化的需求。这场讨论凸显了“AI污染”日益严重的趋势，以及仔细考虑其影响的必要性。

Andrej Karpathy talks about "Claws". Andrej Karpathy tweeted a mini-essay about buying a Mac Mini ("The apple store person told me they are selling like hotcakes and everyone is confused") to tinker with Claws:

I'm definitely a bit sus'd to run OpenClaw specifically [...] But I do love the concept and I think that just like LLM agents were a new layer on top of LLMs, Claws are now a new layer on top of LLM agents, taking the orchestration, scheduling, context, tool calls and a kind of persistence to a next level.

Looking around, and given that the high level idea is clear, there are a lot of smaller Claws starting to pop out. For example, on a quick skim NanoClaw looks really interesting in that the core engine is ~4000 lines of code (fits into both my head and that of AI agents, so it feels manageable, auditable, flexible, etc.) and runs everything in containers by default. [...]

Anyway there are many others - e.g. nanobot, zeroclaw, ironclaw, picoclaw (lol @ prefixes). [...]

Not 100% sure what my setup ends up looking like just yet but Claws are an awesome, exciting new layer of the AI stack.

Andrej has an ear for fresh terminology (see vibe coding, agentic engineering) and I think he's right about this one, too: "Claw" is becoming a term of art for the entire category of OpenClaw-like agent systems - AI agents that generally run on personal hardware, communicate via messaging protocols and can both act on direct instructions and schedule tasks.

It even comes with an established emoji 🦞
