OpenClaw v2026.6.10: Automatic Fast Mode, Model Routing Fixes, and Trusted Tool Policies

OpenClaw v2026.6.10 is out, focusing on stability and reliability. The release adds automatic fast mode, fixes model routing for Z.ai GLM-5 models, improves session identity across channels, and strengthens trusted tool policies. 17 contributors, 12 PRs, 279 commits.

Automatic Fast Mode

Use /fast auto to let short conversational calls start quickly in fast mode. When a run exceeds its configured cutoff (for longer work, retries, or fallback attempts), it returns to normal mode—if the backend supports the transition—without losing visible state. Status and progress reflect the effective state through follow-up and scheduled-agent runs.

Model Routing and Reasoning

Z.ai GLM-5 catalog models now use their intended Z.AI endpoint by default; Zhipu/GLM overloads fall back to configured fallback. Thinking levels for zai/glm-5.2 include off, low, high, and max. The OpenCode Go catalog adds GLM-5.2 and Kimi K2.7 Code (no unsupported video input for Kimi). Live-discovered Ollama models expose their supported /think choices in Telegram, Slack, and Discord.

Channels and Provider Setup

After a scheduled message reaches Telegram, Weixin, or another channel, the next turn understands delivery status without showing cron internals. Streamed progress replaces stale keyed text when state changes. First-run provider setup now continues to the selected external provider's credential prompt after plugin install instead of falling back to OpenAI.

Sessions, Tools, and Trust

When a shared DM session moves between channels or accounts, session identity and channel routing follow the current channel for status, reactions, threads, and message references—no migration required. Plugin authors get a documented session transcript SDK with subpaths for reading, appending, publishing updates, and locking transcripts under one durable session identity. Approval-sensitive Gateway and plugin tools stay protected by trusted tool policies when connected extensions change. Authenticated package downloads stop sending source tokens to allowed redirects on another origin.

Setup and Diagnostics

On macOS/Homebrew where timeout is installed as gtimeout, Docker and Podman setup now apply the existing timeout guard. openclaw doctor runs core checks before bundled and plugin checks. The StepFun provider plugin is discoverable via ClawHub and npm.
