On March 22, the “Zhongguancun Northern Latitude Lobster Competition” peak roadshow came to a close in Haidian. The competition was jointly hosted by Beijing Zhongguancun Academy, the Zhongguancun Institute of Artificial Intelligence, and the AI Business School, with support from the Beijing Zhongguancun Academy Education Foundation. Centered on the open-source AI agent framework OpenClaw (nickname “Lobster”), it called on developers and innovators worldwide to submit AI works with real application value.

The competition set three tracks: “Academic Lobster,” “Productivity Lobster,” and “Life Lobster,” encouraging participants to demonstrate, based on real scenarios, the deployment capabilities of AI agents in research assistance, efficiency improvement, and life services. Since the launch of the competition, a total of nearly 500 entries from around the world were received. After multiple rounds of screening and intense competition, 30 of the exceptionally strong “lobster farmers” teams gathered on the day of the finals at the peak roadshow venue to vie for the “Lobster King” crown.

At the peak roadshow venue, the 30 teams each provided detailed explanations around the core value of their projects, the actual application outcomes, technical innovation highlights, and future development potential. After comprehensive evaluation and professional review by a panel of experts, the “Lobster King” honor was won by 14-year-old Jiang Murun, a student from Beijing Middle School. He was also the first-place winner in the Productivity track. His competition project ClawFounder is an AI startup “lobster” aimed at individual creators and independent developers; it integrates the product’s entire process from idea validation to launch and promotion into an automated pipeline—automatically generating solutions, prototypes, brand assets, and a deployed official website—then working alongside content distribution and progress reporting. Its core value is not to replace specific job positions, but to transform entrepreneurship from an occasional behavior into a system that can be executed repeatedly.

In addition to the overall best “Lobster King” crown, multiple projects across the three tracks also stood out: MedRoundTable, which won first place in the Academic track. As the world’s first A2A architecture medical research collaboration platform, it delivers end-to-end research support by linking AI experts with multiple databases, improving the efficiency of collaboration across institutions; Mira, which won first place in the Life track, breaks through the limitations of traditional AI companionship’s passive triggering by using wearable devices to sense users’ states in real time. It proactively provides care for groups such as elderly people living alone and left-behind children when they cannot express their needs, achieving a complete closed loop from perception to execution.

This “Zhongguancun Northern Latitude Lobster Competition” aims to explore the possibilities for the evolution of AI technology and its applications in the era of agents. In addition to the精彩 roadshow presentations, the event also specially invited industry guests for feature sharing. “‘The development of the ‘Lobster’ must be built on calm thinking, rational judgment, and reliable safety assurance.’” Dong Bin, Executive Vice President of Beijing Zhongguancun Academy and one of the competition judges, said in his remarks: “The essence of OpenClaw is not to ‘use a lobster’ to get tasks done, but to ‘raise lobsters’ to establish an ongoing growth relationship—so that AI becomes a partner that understands you and is like you.” (Reporter Li Hongya)
