The November census counted 200+ self-hosted agents on Flux nodes: 179 OpenClaw, 31 Hermes. Running yours: - package the agent as an app and register it with the network - FluxOS places it on independent nodes in 50+ countries - live application logs in FluxOS v8.18, so you can watch it work - the model key stays in your own app config Pick the model you like this week. Swap it when the next one lands. The agent stays where you put it.
