ClawBox AI hardware — frequently asked questions

🖥️ Hardware & Performance

ClawBox comes with a 512GB NVMe SSD for significantly better I/O performance when loading AI models and handling database operations. The speed difference is especially noticeable with larger language models.

ClawBox draws just 20W under normal AI workloads — about €0.80/month in electricity (at €0.25/kWh). Even under heavy inference, it stays below 25W. That's less than most light bulbs. Compare that to a Mac Mini at 65W or a gaming PC at 300W+.

The Jetson Orin Nano has excellent thermal design. ClawBox stays cool thanks to its optimized cooling system with a near-silent fan. The carbon fiber case provides excellent heat dissipation. No thermal throttling even during continuous 24/7 operation.

ClawBox works best with models up to 7-8B parameters (8GB unified memory). For larger models, it uses intelligent model switching and can offload to cloud APIs when needed. Most users find 7B models perfectly capable for daily tasks.

ClawBox ships with several optimized models: Llama 3.1 8B (general conversation), CodeLlama 7B (code assistance), Hermes 3 8B (tool usage), and LLaVA 7B (vision tasks). You can add more models or switch to different ones anytime.
