●●SolidShip ItNiche Gem

Persistent 24/7 agent VMs with open-model inference dodge API keys, but orchestration is standard.

Strengths

•Removes API key management by using open models (Qwen3, GLM-4) instead of OpenAI/Anthropic; meaningful for compliance/cost
•Real tools (bash, file ops, web, image gen) + persistent memory across conversations enables stateful agents
•99.7% uptime across 61 live agents shows production viability

Weaknesses

•Orchestration pattern (skills, tools, context management) overlaps with existing agent frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, Anthropic Agents API)
•Unknown differentiation vs running agents on Modal, Railway, or cloud VMs with open-source frameworks

Post Description

LiberClaw is an open-source platform for deploying AI agents that run around the clock on dedicated virtual machines. You define what an agent does with markdown skills file, deploy it, and it keeps working whether you're at your desk or not. The agent system code is on GitHub: https://github.com/Libertai/liberclaw-agent

There are 61 agents running on the platform right now across 578 conversations, with 99.7% uptime. Each agent gets its own VM with its own filesystem, database, and HTTPS endpoint. Inference runs through open models (Qwen3 Coder, GLM-4.7) so there are no API keys to manage from OpenAI or Anthropic.

Agents have persistent memory across conversations, a heartbeat system for background tasks, and real tools: bash, file operations, web fetch, web search, and the ability to spawn subagents for parallel work. You can build code review bots, research agents, personal assistants, monitoring tools — anything that benefits from running continuously.

Free tier is 2 agents, no credit card. Deployment takes under 5 minutes.

If there are requests and an appetite for it, I can opensource the platform code too (it manages a pool of prepared VMs on aleph cloud and gives them to users as they request one).
