Baidu’s DuClaw removes the infrastructure barrier from OpenClaw agent deployment. Run it in a browser. No local setup. No API keys. No server configuration. PR Newswire carried the official announcement when Baidu launched the service on March 15.
The product sits inside a broader Baidu agent ecosystem. Channel NewsAsia reported that Baidu has built three delivery surfaces: DuMate for desktop, RedClaw for mobile, and DuClaw for cloud and browser access. All three share the OpenClaw framework underneath.
According to reporting on the launch, DuClaw supports a range of foundation models including DeepSeek, Kimi K 2.5, GLM-5, and MiniMax M 2.5. Baidu says the platform integrates tools from its ecosystem, including search and knowledge tools. These are vendor-reported details, they come from launch coverage, not independent evaluation. Specific pricing figures reported in some coverage could not be independently verified and are not included here.
DuClaw matters in context. OpenClaw deployment tooling is arriving fast from multiple vendors in a single week: NVIDIA shipped NemoClaw (covered separately this cycle) to handle privacy routing and hybrid inference. Baidu shipped DuClaw to eliminate setup friction entirely. They solve different problems for different users, one for enterprise production, one for experimentation and rapid evaluation. Developers assessing OpenClaw now have two new on-ramps.
