Building a "Personal Operating System" means nothing if you don't control the brain. Move your OpenClaw agent onto secure, cost-efficient, and fully private infrastructure.
The recent explosion of interest around OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot or Clawdbot) has been incredible to watch. We are finally moving past simple chatbots and into a true agentic future—where an AI can handle your emails, manage your calendar, and act as a genuine extension of yourself. It's the dawn of the personal AI operating system.
But there is a massive contradiction at the heart of the current OpenClaw phenomenon. Many are building a highly intimate "personal OS" that has access to your most private data—your messages, your files, your digital life—yet most users are piping that data straight into "black box" APIs from closed-source model providers. You get convenience, but you lose control. You don't know if your data is being logged, used to train the next generation of their models, or if you'll be locked into a single provider's ecosystem forever. And here's the kicker: you're paying a premium for that lack of control. If you want a truly personal OS, you must own your AI.
Most people treat their AI agent like a single, monolithic employee. But a true "Personal OS" should be a versatile team. You are locked into one "flavor" of intelligence, one set of capabilities, and one company's roadmap. The AI landscape is evolving at a breakneck pace, with new state-of-the-art (SOTA) models emerging weekly. Do you really want to be tied to a single, proprietary brain?
Fireworks AI offers a fundamentally different approach: we provide a model array, allowing your OpenClaw agent to dynamically swap its "brain" to fit the task at hand. Because we use a unified, OpenAI-compatible API, your code doesn't change—just the model ID. You aren't tied to one lab; you have the keys to the entire AI frontier. With our track record of Day 0 support for SOTA models, you get access to the best tool for every job, ensuring your agent is always operating at peak performance and efficiency.
Here's something most people don't realize: open-source models on Fireworks AI can be up to 10x more cost-efficient than closed-source alternatives. When you're running a personal AI agent that operates around the clock—checking emails, monitoring notifications, managing tasks—those costs add up fast.
With closed-source providers, you're paying premium prices for models that may be overkill for many routine tasks. A simple email triage or calendar check doesn't need the most expensive model on the market. On Fireworks AI, you can use highly efficient models that deliver excellent performance at a fraction of the cost. For tasks that need more horsepower, Agent can seamlessly switch to more powerful models —still at a fraction of the cost of closed-source options.
This isn't just about saving money. It's about making personal AI agents economically sustainable for everyone, not just those with unlimited budgets. Your agent shouldn't cost more than your streaming subscriptions combined.
At Fireworks AI, we believe that inference infrastructure should be fast, reliable, accessible, and private. Our business is providing you with the best tools to run your own AI, on your own terms.
When you run your OpenClaw agent on Fireworks, you get a suite of guarantees that closed-source providers simply cannot match.
| Feature | Why Fireworks AI |
|---|---|
| Model Choice | The Best of OSS (Kimi, Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen) |
| Data Privacy | Zero Data Retention (Default) |
| Innovation Speed | Day-0 access to any new OSS model with the fastest inference stack |
| Control | Full weights / Open Parameters with personalized fine tuning to truly own your AI |
| Cost | Up to 10x cheaper than closed source models |
We are a US-based company operating under strict data privacy standards. Our policy is simple: we do not use customer inference data to train models. With Fireworks AI, you get full control via open models. Most importantly, we provide a full catalogue of fine-tuning options for open models so that your agents can be truly personalized to your style.
Watch demo here:
Step 1: Sign up to Fireworks and generate an API key (with some free credits to get you started)
Step 2: Run the below simple command with your API key information in any terminal. The example below creates ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (or merges with existing config), configures Kimi K2.5 as the default model, and sets up Fireworks API credentials:
1
Replace YOUR_FIREWORKS_API_KEY with your actual Fireworks API key.
Step 3: Follow the getting started docs to install and setup Openclaw: https://docs.openclaw.ai/start/getting-started

This will take you through installation steps.Then, enter the following command:

That's it! You've just pointed your agent's brain to better, faster, cheaper, and more private intelligence.
The OpenClaw movement represents a pivotal moment in personal computing. It's a chance to build tools that are truly our own. But that vision is incomplete without data sovereignty and true ownership over the intelligence that powers them.
Don't just build an agent. Build an agent that works only for you and at scale.
