ZeroClaw + Ollama Setup Guide - Config ZeroClaw Bot Locally For FREE With Telegram

Welcome back. So, at this point, if you follow this channel, you have seen Open Claw, Pico Claw, Nanobot, Iron Claw, and now this new Zero Claw. Honestly, at this rate, I'm going to need a separate playlist just to keep track of all the claw variants. Someone in the Rust community clearly looked at the AI agent space and thought, I can do this better, smaller, and faster. and zero claw is that attempt. It's a Rust based AI agent framework. 3.4 MB binary starts in under half a second. Supports 22 plus providers including any open AI compatible endpoint like Olama has Telegram and other channels builtin and requires nothing except your own API key or a local model. And that is what we are going to do in this video. We are going to install zeroclaw locally and we are going to integrate it with local Olama based models. If you don't know what Olama is or the tools which I mentioned around openclaw, pico claw, iron claw and all that stuff and if you want to check them out from various angles, I have covered them in various videos as you can see here from the day one. So let's get started. I am going to use this Ubuntu system. I have one GPU card Nvidia RTX 6000 with 48 GB of VRAM. And the reason why I am going to use that because I have this Olama installed already and I have GLM 4.7 flash model which requires GPU VRAM of course. You can use any model as long as it supports tool use which means you can ex uh access external functionality. So, Olama is there and now we need to install our zero claw or whatever the name was. I'm actually, you know, starting to forget the names. And if you're looking to rent a GPU or CPU or uh any VM of any sort, you can check the link of mass compute in video description and I will also give you a 50% discount coupon you can use. I'm also renting it from them. So, why not? Also if uh you would follow me on X, I would highly highly appreciate for any updates without any hype. So first prerequisite in order to install the zero claw is that you should have rust installed. So I'm just going to check if rust is there or not. As you can see that rust is not installed. Installing rust is fairly straightforward.
