OpenClaw v2026.4.7, released on April 8, 2026, delivers a feature-packed update with 372 commits from 44 contributors. The release introduces a unified inference CLI, restores the memory wiki system, and enables external automation through webhook-driven TaskFlows.
CLI Inference Hub
The new openclaw infer command provides provider-backed inference across models, media, web search, and embeddings — all from the command line. This turns OpenClaw into a general-purpose AI interface beyond its chat agent role, letting developers script inference calls directly.
Memory Wiki Restored
The bundled memory-wiki plugin has been fully restored with new claim/evidence fields, health linting, and freshness-weighted search. This gives agents a structured knowledge base that can be verified and maintained over time, addressing a long-standing request from power users who wanted their agents to build persistent, fact-checked knowledge.
Webhook TaskFlows
External automation systems can now create and drive TaskFlows via shared-secret webhook endpoints. This opens the door to integrating OpenClaw agents into CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and business workflows without requiring direct chat interaction.
Session Compaction
A new session compaction system introduces persisted checkpoints with branch/restore UI, letting users inspect pre-compaction conversation state. A pluggable registry allows plugins to replace the built-in summarization pipeline entirely.
New Model Support
The release adds Google Gemma 4 with reasoning capabilities, Arcee AI as a new bundled provider with Trinity catalog support, and Ollama vision auto-detection from API responses. Over 70 bug fixes address security patches for SSRF, exec approvals, and environment variable sanitization.
Managed instances on OpenClaw Launch will be updated to this release as part of regular maintenance.
