Intel released version 1.1 of SuperClaw, a desktop application that runs AI agents on a local PC and sends only selected tasks to cloud models. The new version can run entirely on one suitably equipped Windows machine, where the previous version needed a separate server to do the model work. It requires specific Intel hardware, and the feature that masks sensitive data before anything is sent to the cloud is experimental and switched off by default.

What changed

Version 1.0 required two machines: an AI PC running the app plus a separate enterprise edge server doing the model work.

What it unlocks

Running a team of local AI agents for files, code, email and research on a single Intel PC, sending only selected tasks to cloud models.
