1-2 engineers at Anthropic can implement their own OpenClaw in a matter of days (and give it a less stupid name while they're at it).

This is just a marketing move by OpenAI.

Even the thousands of integrations?

The strenght of openclaw is the massive community adherence.

It can connect to a ton of things.

It's like the https://zapier.com meets LLMs.

I'm sure a lot of API plumbing can be copied/adapted wholesale from the (open-source) openclaw repo. LLMs are surprisingly good at this kind of stuff. And yeah it would require some testing, but I doubt what openclaw has now is itself in a very stable state (from my very limited testing)

You think he implemented those thousands of integrations himself? Or maybe some particular tool was used that can be used again for implementing such things? Particular tool that so many of us use as well?

It was obviously largely by the community. Just take a look at PRs.

Question is, will the community continue with this level of engagement on the project now that it has OpenAI stamp on it?

I highly doubt. A fork? Maybe.
