MW As OpenClaw's popularity has surged, so too has this computer-maker's stock

By Steve Goldstein

Raspberry Pi says its computers are a way to run the popular open-source OpenClaw.

The advent of a popular open-source project that lets users create personal AI agents is lifting shares of a company making hobbyist computers.

Shares of London-listed Raspberry Pi Holdings (UK:RPI) have surged 48% over the last five days, even though the company has not made any new demand projections. Raspberry Pi machines - as well as Apple's $(AAPL)$ Mac mini - are products users on social media say they use to run what's called OpenClaw, a personal AI agent.

Raspberry Pi computers are so bare-bones that they don't even have a case for them.

Isolating the agent on a computer without the personal data typically stored on a laptop is seen as a way to minimize the security threat, per the company.

"Running OpenClaw on a standalone device like a Raspberry Pi is a great way to mitigate these security concerns. You gain isolation, control, and peace of mind, all while benefiting from a system that's always on, energy efficient, and quietly 'doing' in the background," the company said in a blog post.
