Lobster buffet: China’s tech firms feast on OpenClaw as companies race to deploy AI agents
龙虾自助盛宴：中国科技公司竞相部署AI智能体，掀起OpenClaw热潮
China is rapidly embracing the popular artificial intelligence tool OpenClaw, with major tech companies and even local governments rushing to expand access to the lobster-themed, open-source AI agent in recent weeks.
中国正迅速拥抱热门人工智能工具OpenClaw，近几周以来，大型科技公司乃至地方政府纷纷加速推广这一以“龙虾”为主题的开源AI智能体。
AI agents are digital assistants that can handle tasks such as sending emails, scheduling meetings and booking restaurant reservations with minimal human guidance. Unlike chatbots that simply respond to prompts, AI agents can take proactive actions, which often require broader access to data and systems, raising privacy and security concerns.
AI智能体是一类数字助手，能够在较少人工干预下完成发送邮件、安排会议、预订餐厅等任务。与仅对提示作出回应的聊天机器人不同，AI智能体可以主动执行任务，但这通常需要更广泛的数据与系统访问权限，也引发了隐私与安全方面的担忧。
Chinese tech giant Tencent said Tuesday it had launched a full suite of easy-to-use AI products built on OpenClaw, which it dubbed “lobster special forces” and compatible with its popular superapp WeChat.
中国科技巨头腾讯周二表示，其已推出基于OpenClaw构建的一整套易用AI产品，称为“龙虾特种部队”，并可兼容其超级应用微信。
The same day, startup Zhipu AI launched its own local version of OpenClaw, offering an AI agent pre-installed with over 50 popular skills through “one-click installation.”
同日，初创公司智谱AI推出了本地版本的OpenClaw，提供通过“一键安装”预置50多种常用技能的AI智能体。
Similar moves by other Chinese companies have helped drive consumer interest, with usage of OpenClaw in China surpassing the U.S., according to American cybersecurity firm SecurityScorecard.
其他中国企业的类似举措也推动了消费者兴趣增长。美国网络安全公司SecurityScorecard表示，中国的OpenClaw使用量已超过美国。
“In terms of adopting the new technologies, I think China definitely has a really large community that always wants to try what’s there, what’s new, and don’t want to be left behind,” said Jaylen He, CEO of Violoop, a Shenzhen-based startup.
深圳初创公司Violoop首席执行官何杰伦表示：“在采用新技术方面，中国拥有庞大的用户群体，总是愿意尝试新事物，不愿被落下。”
“I have friends who are not even in the tech industry … they are doing this, they are also running it,” he said.
他说：“我有一些朋友甚至不在科技行业……他们也在使用这个工具。”
As China’s economy continues to face headwinds, OpenClaw offers an opportunity that domestic tech companies, eager to attract paying users, are rushing to capture.

The nationwide OpenClaw craze has boosted the popularity of Chinese-developed large language models, said Winston Ma, adjunct professor at NYU School of Law.
纽约大学法学院兼职教授马闻斯顿表示，全国范围内的OpenClaw热潮提升了中国自研大语言模型的影响力。
Autonomous AI agents like OpenClaw are typically model-agnostic, meaning they can integrate with various large language models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude.
OpenClaw等自主AI智能体通常具有模型无关性，可与多种大语言模型集成，如OpenAI的ChatGPT和Anthropic的Claude。
Chinese-made AI models released this year have increasingly narrowed the gap with their U.S. rivals while offering capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
中国今年发布的AI模型正不断缩小与美国竞争对手的差距，同时成本更低。
