next openclaw release gonna have people saying opus who. 🦀✨


Google search volume for "OpenClaw" has experienced a massive crash, plummeting right back down to pre-launch baseline levels almost as quickly as it spiked.



I spent an hour plus this afternoon trying to get OpenClaw to work with GPT. I asked it to do a simple task to send me a weekly stats recap email that Opus had no trouble with. Here's how the conversation went: "You completely messed up the previous template" "Sigh you made a mess. Why don’t you open the email template and I can edit manually" "no you totally screwed it up tbh. let's switch the model to sonnet" Again, big fan of OpenClaw (+ Codex) but this model simply doesn't seem to work with following through on agentic tasks (or just simple cron jobs). Maybe it's a skill issue on my part - although the AI builder groups I'm part of say similar things. Hopefully, Spud / GPT 5.5 will solve this.







OpenClaw 2026.4.14 🦞 More reliability updates: ✨ Smarter GPT-5.4 routing and recovery 🌐 Chrome/CDP improvements 🧵 Subagents no longer get stuck 💬 Slack/Telegram/Discord fixes ⚡️ Various performance improvements Was sleeping, and we still shipped. github.com/openclaw/openc…


🤖 OpenClaw 4.12 just dropped. Smarter active memory, Codex + LM Studio support, and critical security patches. Is this enough to pull us BACK from Hermes? We break it all down 👇 Watch the full breakdown here: [@openclaw] youtu.be/gJhDj21pVfw



Two experiments in the next @openclaw to address some "GPT is lazy" issues: 1) Strict mode: agents.defaults.embeddedPi.executionContract = "strict-agentic" This tells GPT-5.x to keep working: read more code, call tools, make changes, or return a real blocker instead of stopping at “here’s the plan.” docs.openclaw.ai/providers/open…

The Abraham Global Peace Initiative (AGPI) condemns the actions of Pedro Sánchez, who has crossed every diplomatic line by withdrawing Spain’s ambassador from Israel while reopening its embassy in Tehran. His call on the European Union to suspend its Association Agreement with Israel further underscores a deeply troubling and one-sided agenda. Such moves reflect a profound moral inversion at a time requiring clarity and leadership. His harsh anti-Israel rhetoric says far more about his political posture than it does about Israel. AGPI urges Spain to reconsider this dangerous course.
