Device-Grade Agent Runtime Under MCU Constraints
The point of MimiClaw is not to shrink a cloud stack onto a board, but to accept MCU constraints from day one: tight memory, limited storage, no process isolation, and highly sensitive resource contention. It frames the assistant as a minimal event-driven loop: inputs arrive through a message channel, outputs return through the same channel, while state and memory are persisted locally to avoid hidden service coupling. This shifts reliability from “works when the network and servers cooperate” to “works when the device is online,” with clearer failure boundaries. For engineering teams, complexity moves into firmware and build-time choices in exchange for stable runtime behavior and controllable delivery.
