Over the past three weeks, OpenClaw has been updated at an incredible pace, releasing a new version almost every two days and completely changing the rules of the AI field. Prominent figures in the AI industry, such as Andrej Karpathy, have called OpenClaw "an exciting new layer" and mentioned that he has already begun experimenting on his newly purchased Mac mini. Karpathy's involvement has brought more attention to OpenClaw and helped the term "Claw" become a common name in the industry, representing all similar architecture agent systems.

In February, OpenClaw's rapid development on mobile platforms attracted much attention. On February 9th, OpenClaw released the Alpha version of its iOS node application, achieving mobile access functionality. Subsequently, the Apple Watch companion application was launched on February 19th, allowing users to manage notifications and reply quickly through their watches. These updates expanded OpenClaw's ecosystem from desktop to mobile phones and watches, creating a full-scenario agent platform.

In terms of architecture, OpenClaw introduced a "sub-agent" system, allowing agents to generate their own sub-agents, forming complex task processing capabilities. By setting a maximum generation depth parameter, the system can effectively manage multi-level task execution. This innovation enables the main agent to assign sub-tasks, thus efficiently completing more complex work.

At the same time, OpenClaw's performance on the Discord platform has also seen significant improvements. The new version supports sending voice messages, using interactive components, and allows users to have real-time conversations in voice channels. All these features combined make OpenClaw on Discord more like a comprehensive AI application, not just a chatbot.

However, while OpenClaw is rapidly developing, it also faces serious security challenges. Security experts point out that since the beginning of this month, OpenClaw has become a target for hackers, with hundreds of security vulnerabilities discovered, some of which are severe. Security audits showed that there are many public instances without authentication, exposing users' private data. To address these threats, OpenClaw has strengthened security measures in each update to ensure the safety of user data.
