500 plus builders signed up for one night. Here is what that room taught us about agentic AI. Last night we hosted our first major OpenClaw Singapore Agentic Night, in partnership with the SMU Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the SMU AI Club. The room was full of people who do not just talk about AI, they build with it. David, who leads solution architecture at Alibaba Cloud, opened with Qwen 3.7 Plus. Built for agentic work, it can see, code and generalise across harnesses while handling long tasks by holding memory, planning in steps and correcting itself along the way. @vincent_koc, Chief Architect of OpenClaw, followed with The State of the Claw and showed what the team is building next. Mobile apps now launched, Microsoft Scout, a serverless gateway, agent profiles, agent identity and ShellBench. @onusoz from Hugging Face showed the power of pairing OpenClaw with local models, proving you can run powerful agents without sending your data to the cloud. Our fireside chat brought together Vincent Koc, Professor Sun Sun Lim and myself. We went deep on agentic AI, digital upskilling, and trust and collaboration in the age of AI. To close, Queenie Mengyun Wu from imToken demoed Sigil, a security plugin that makes running agents on the OpenClaw harness far safer. Three lessons stood out for any enterprise building with this. The model is not the product, the harness is. The real unlock is the layer around the model that decides what an agent can see, do and touch. You are not buying a model, you are building a system. Local models are ready for real work. You can run powerful agents without sending sensitive data to the cloud, which changes everything for finance, healthcare and legal. Safety is built in, not bolted on. The moment you let an agent act, you need a way to guide and contain it. The winners will treat trust and security as part of the build from day one. Thank you to the SMU Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the SMU AI Club for partnering with us, to every speaker who gave so generously, and to the 500 plus builders who showed up ready to build. Singapore is not just adopting agentic AI, it is ready to build it. The talent is here, the curiosity is here, and now the room is here too.
