OpenClaw 2026.9.2: GPT-6 Astra support, Swarm on by default, experimental plugin UIs
OpenClaw
A day after 2026.9.1, OpenClaw 2026.9.2 (Sep 5) adds `openai/gpt-6-astra` support with Responses tool calls, async tools and WebSocket steering, enables the Swarm concurrent sub-agent orchestration mode by default, introduces experimental custom plugin UIs (Settings → Labs) and standalone Apple Watch Talk, and makes replies survive Gateway restarts plus hot-applied settings changes without restarts.
Why it matters
389k-star personal AI agent folds in Astra and defaults to multi-agent Swarm
Importance: 2/5
rapid follow-up to 2026.9.1; Astra support and default Swarm are real behavior changes
