What changed

The OpenClaw Foundation has released version 2.0 of its open-source AI platform. The update adds sessions running on rented cloud machines, real-time collaboration, a rebuilt browser app, and setup that can detect existing API keys and AI subscriptions.

What this means for you

Open-source users can now set up OpenClaw more easily, work together in real time, and run sessions on rented machines instead of relying only on their own computer. The release is available, but cloud-machine use may involve separate costs.
