run OpenClaw WITH RAZER AIKIT on THE
RAZER Blade 18

A step-by-step guide to set up your own personal AI assistant on your Razer Blade 18

Run OpenClaw, previously known as Moltbot, locally on Razer Blade 18 to monitor tasks in real time and automate workflow actions in the background. Install and configure OpenClaw and use Razer AIKit to enable low-latency, on-device AI without cloud dependency. Blade 18 is built for sustained heavy workloads, keeping performance stable while data stays local and setup remains minimal – so the hardware does the work while you build.

Prerequisite Steps to Install OpenClaw

step 1 — Ensure WSL on windows 11 or Ubuntu 24.04 is installed on your blade 18 along with the latest drivers
Step 2 — Install docker

Run the code below for Docker installation:

				
					# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

# Add the repository to Apt sources:
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.sources <<EOF
Types: deb
URIs: https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
Suites: $(. /etc/os-release && echo "${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}")
Components: stable
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
EOF

sudo apt update

sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
Step 3 — Install nvidia container toolkit

Run the code below:

				
					nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker --config=$HOME/.config/docker/daemon.json
systemctl --user restart docker
sudo nvidia-ctk config --set nvidia-container-cli.no-cgroups --in-place
Step 4 — Verify Installation

Run the code below:

				
					docker -v

Razer AIKit Installation & Inferencing

Step 1 — PULL & Start AIKit Container

Run the code below:

				
					mkdir -p $HOME/.cache/huggingface

docker run -it \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  --gpus all \
  --ipc host \
  --network host \
  --mount type=bind,source=$HOME/.cache/huggingface,target=/var/aikit/.cache/huggingface \
  razerofficial/aikit:latest
Step 2 — DOWNLOAD MODEL

Once inside the container, run:

				
					rzr-aikit model download openai/gpt-oss-20b

Notes:

This guide uses openai/gpt-oss-20b. You can also try other models like DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B or Meta-Llama-3-8B, available on Hugging Face.

If your selected model exceeds the memory capacity of a single Razer Blade 18, use Razer AIKit, our open-source solution, to optimize the load across a cluster of GPUs. Further scale your local AI workstation with our Razer eGPU and Forge AI Dev Workstation to increase GPU resources for higher-level inferencing.

Step 3 — Start the model server

Run the code below:

				
					rzr-aikit model run openai/gpt-oss-20b

Note: If running on WSL, include the flag--gpu-memory-utilization 0.8

Step 4 — test model inference (optional)

To confirm the model is running correctly, execute:

				
					rzr-aikit model generate "Tell me about Telegram Bot - what is it?"

OpenClaw Installation & Configuration

Step 1 — Install openclaw

Run the code below:

				
					curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
Step 2 — Configure Openclaw to use your local model
  1. Select “Quickstart” -> “Custom Provider”
  2. Enter the OpenAPI endpoint for your local model (default: http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1)
  3. Choose “Paste API Key Now” and leave blank
  1. Choose “OpenAPI-compatible” and enter model ID (openai/gpt-oss-20b)
  2. Select Telegram channel, and proceed to Telegram bot setup

Telegram Bot Configuration

Step 1 — Create a Telegram Bot Token
  1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather
  2. Run the following command: /newbot
  3. Copy the token you receive, it will look like: 123456789:AAExampleTokenHere
Step 2 — Add Telegram Token to openclaw
  1. Select Enter Telegram bot token and paste your token
  2. Finish the rest of the OpenClaw setup flow based on your preferences
Step 3 — Text your Bot on telegram!
  1. Open Telegram
  2. Search for your new bot’s username
  3. Send a message:
  4. Bot will request to authenticate; run the command below:
				
					openclaw pairing approve telegram <code>
your personal ai assistant openclaw is good to go!
