Tencent's AI assistant QClaw has officially launched its overseas beta. During the beta period, it offers 40 million tokens daily, with the first 20,000 "Founding Claw" spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger has also publicly expressed his support for the collaboration. (Previous coverage: OpenClaw update next week: Support for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, founder Steinberger still coding) (Background: Prediction market Kalshi reportedly set to launch "crypto perpetual contracts," aiming to capture the crypto derivatives market with compliance advantages) The overseas beta (official website: qclawsg.qq.com) has launched in the US, Canada, Singapore, and South Korea, with an interface supporting Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Korean. Tencent's AI Agent tool QClaw continues the "Minimalist Lobster" design philosophy of its domestic version: zero threshold, no deployment required, and ready to use upon download. Users only need to complete three steps—download, install, and scan the QR code—to get started in about 3 minutes. By sending a message via WhatsApp or Telegram, QClaw executes tasks on the local computer and returns results quickly—the entire process is handled on the local device, ensuring data never leaves the user's hands. The development of this overseas version is a tech marvel in itself. Based on over 80 functional iterations accumulated from the domestic version, the Tencent team completed the overseas version in just 5 days, with approximately 99% of the code written by QClaw itself—meaning this AI Agent tool essentially birthed itself. The domestic version accumulated over 1 million users within 10 days of launch, providing the confidence for the overseas expansion. QClaw is built on the OpenClaw open-source framework, a name familiar to readers of BlockTempo. Its founder, Peter Steinberger, publicly stated on social media: "Thanks to the Tencent team for collaborating with us and providing evaluation data to improve OpenClaw's harness performance. We are also working together to contribute fixes and improvements back to the open-source repository. For those not accustomed to the command line, QClaw is a great choice." Steinberger's endorsement is not just social courtesy but substantive technical collaboration: both parties are pushing fixes back to the open-source repository, meaning the entire OpenClaw ecosystem benefits. The QClaw overseas version features several top-tier international large models and supports custom integration to adapt to different countries' compliance and performance requirements. Regarding security, it fully integrates the "The Gateway" security module from the domestic version, implementing real-time, end-to-end protection for prompts, skills, and execution scripts. During the beta period, each user receives 40 million tokens daily, with an official estimated value of up to $700. The first 20,000 "Founding Claw" spots are first-come, first-served, and those who secure them are considered early ecosystem builders. Tencent has planned three usage paths for QClaw to cater to different needs: The first is QClaw it, focusing on "chores you don't want to do but have to." The official example is automated tax filing: logging into the IRS, downloading W-2s, filling out forms, calculating federal and state taxes, and generating tax-saving plans, all completed automatically. The second is QClaw Daily, positioned as a daily self-discipline assistant. Using a personal fitness coach as an example, the system can create personal profiles and exercise databases, set daily training plans, track strength gains, and present progress via charts. The third is QClaw Up, aimed at "things one person can't handle alone." The official demo showed a case where a user provided a long-form methodology article; QClaw learned it and took over the daily operations of social media accounts like X and Xiaohongshu, with one user gaining over 200 followers in 3 days. Additionally, QClaw Playground features various pre-set expert roles such as fitness coaches, financial advisors, and language teachers. After clicking "I want," the corresponding Agent settings can be loaded within seconds.
