Cosine expressed concerns about the stability of OpenClaw on the X platform, believing that Claude Code is more trustworthy in terms of software engineering. Both prioritize security, but OpenClaw faces a contradiction between freedom and controllability, as excessive freedom could lead to loss of control.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Yu Xian, founder of Slow Fog, posted on the X platform: "I don’t trust OpenClaw’s stability or resilience, but I am quite confident in Claude Code, which is one of the core goals of software engineering. In terms of security, both companies place a high emphasis on safety, and the vulnerabilities submitted have received prompt feedback. Some OpenClaw forks or reference versions are much less proactive about security.

Regarding security scenarios, although OpenClaw has Sandbox mechanisms and attempts to design more granular permissions for tools, as its name ‘OpenClaw’ suggests, openness is its greatest charm. A restricted OpenClaw wouldn’t be OpenClaw anymore. People want it to be free but also controllable, which is a dilemma. However, in real production environments, overly free OpenClaw can easily get out of control."
