Clawdbot founder Peter's first public interview praises the domestic open-source model M2.1.
Recently, the developer Peter Steinberger, who gained popularity with the Clawdbot (later renamed Moltbot), made his first public appearance during a live interview on the TBPN platform. He not only shared the development process of his personal projects but also highly praised the domestic open-source model MiniMax M2.1, sparking widespread industry attention towards the core competitiveness of domestic open-source models. During the interview, Peter revealed that his personal studio has deployed a top-of-the-line 512G device specifically for running and testing local AI models. Among them, MiniMax M2.1, with its stable performance and outstanding adaptability, has become the core model that runs stably on this device in the long term, earning it the title of the "best open-source model at present" by Peter. As a seasoned professional deeply involved in the development of AI intelligent agents, Peter's evaluation provides significant industry endorsement for the technical strength of MiniMax M2.1. It is worth noting that Moltbot, developed by Peter as a phenomenal personal AI intelligent agent project, saw a rapid increase in GitHub stars, even driving the popularity of related hardware products such as the Mac Mini. It is reported that Peter's team has always considered both technical performance and practical adaptability when choosing AI models. Their active focus on and recognition of MiniMax M2.1 indirectly confirms that the model's performance in key dimensions such as stable local operation and functional adaptability has reached the level of leading international open-source models. During the interview, Peter also shared his team's future plans and is currently exploring the application scenarios of running AI models collaboratively across multiple devices. The outstanding performance of MiniMax M2.1 on a single device provides a solid foundation for future collaborative deployment across multiple devices. At the same time, Peter emphasized that "local operation of AI models is an important development trend in the industry," and MiniMax M2.1, as a domestic open-source model, has outstanding advantages in local deployment, accurately meeting the core needs of more enterprises and developers for data privacy control, flexible and efficient deployment. Currently, the Moltbot project has formed an active developer community, and Peter is actively preparing to establish a professional team to further optimize the product experience. The public recognition of MiniMax M2.1 by leading developers in the industry not only effectively increases the market attention towards domestic open-source models but also opens up broader market space for its future implementation in various scenarios such as personal AI intelligent agents and enterprise-level local deployment. Industry experts analyze that with the continued voice of core developers like Peter, the influence of domestic open-source models in the global AI ecosystem is expected to continue to rise.
