Bro is having the time of his life playing with the crab on his phone! Amazing work! We will drop the user story soon and share with you all so you can replicate @iamloonix approach.
Some say that Flutter sucks… yeah(ironic) @opencrabs inside the phone linked to a2a on a custom flutter app. It can change the OS. It can code android app, compile and open it… all inside the freakin’ phone

What's in v0.5.12: • Telegram guests: a tag in a chat the bot was never invited to runs the same tool surface, live status block and rich rendering as a normal turn, with one cancellable turn per guest session and rate limiting (#2087, #2109, #2133, #2135, #2138, #2143) • Guest safety: the tool set is capped at what a stranger should reach, and a reply no longer carries the answer twice (#2113, #2134) • Plan gate: a turn that crosses a threshold of tool calls must stop and write a plan before it continues (#2128) • browser_act gained an upload action that attaches local files to a file input without putting their bytes in the context (#2112) • bash refuses sleep while a detached task is running and names the task it is waiting on (#2123) • TUI: the transcript survives a session switch, because the fold map is keyed by a stable anchor instead of a UUID minted per render (#2155) • Headless installs provision the built-in provider the way the TUI already did (#2151) • Phantom detection: a contraction, a question, a sign-off after a halt, or a denied tool call is no longer read as a promised action (#2083, #2090, #2110, #2122) • Security: every outbound channel path sanitizes at one chokepoint, the http body is capped and its read bounded, string slicing cannot land mid-character, and a config or keys write that would not parse is refused (#2099, #2102, #2104, #2124) • Release packaging ships OpenCrabs.app and a Linux desktop entry with a full size icon ladder (#2115, #2116, #2117, #2119) 6 CONTRIBUTORS • 78 COMMITS • 46 FIXES • 8 FEATURES • 11,091 TESTS

Two numbers today. 1,003 stars on @opencrabs GitHub. github.com/opencrabs/opencra… 796 people used OpenCrabs in the last week, and 562 of them showed up in the last 24 hours. 🥳🦀 On February 14 I started this journey alone. I thought I could build something better than Claude Code, Codex, Opencode and OpenClaw. By myself. From my couch. Today, I believe we have it! 22 people building together, and a small army of strangers runs it every day for free. No card. No trial timer. No asterisk. Just free tokens and a crab that refuses to sleep. 🦀 Happy and proud to be here with you all! 🥹 Thanks for the chaos. Go break something. opencrabs.com/download

Actually image generation should work on current release, add this to [providers.opencrabs] generation_model = "gemini-2.5-flash-image"

For now we have no deadline to stop the free AI. Also, in the next release dropping today, vision, image gen and transcriptions also completely free.

We appreciate the shout out @5fakb48. Thank you! And yes that is true. Plus we killed the friction. No onboard. No setup. No limits. Download and start talking. Literally opencrabs.com/download
Super appreciative, once again, to @opencrabs for providing free unmetered free open source frontier model access! Last time they gave Mimo Pro, this time they are offering DeepSeek v4.1 1017 You can simply download their CLI harness and not worry about tokens for a while!

@opencrabs now serves DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017. Free. Unlimited. No card, no asterisk. Everyone else charges $20/mo for 5 days usage with some luck maybe 2 weeks. We did the math. The math said no. We did it anyway. Our accountant has left the building. 🥹🦀😂

We checked the math twice. It said no both times. We hired a crab to look at it. Crab said "unlimited" and walked away. Free DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017. Go. 🦀
Confirmed. Our accountant has fled, our CFO is a crab, and the inference bill is now a group therapy session. Go break something. 🥹🦀
