新智元 · wechat · 2026-09-01
OpenClaw, the fastest-growing project in GitHub history, has released version v2026.8.1 (branded as 2.0). The release incorporates over 16,000 PRs from 933 contributors, accounting for roughly half of the project's total merged history. Key updates include a restructured architecture and release process, making the browser the primary entry point to simplify installation, and adding cloud session sharing for multi-user collaboration. The maintainers highlighted that the primary bottleneck has shifted from AI's ability to write code to the human capacity to review and manage it, leading to new workflows involving AI-assisted review. Users should note breaking changes regarding plugins and model configurations.
