OpenClaw v2026.6.10 was published on June 23, 2026. This article is a plain-English guide to the published GitHub release notes, not a separate changelog.

Automatic fast mode starts short conversations quickly, then returns longer or fallback work to normal mode without losing visible state. Provider routing, channel progress, session identity, and trusted tool policies are more reliable, with smaller improvements spanning provider setup, diagnostics, and transcript tooling.

  • Keeps the original fast-mode timing and progress behavior when a live model switch retries a turn. d1e190f.
  • Keeps automatic fast-mode progress and reset behavior distinct from explicit fast mode after a run switches modes. 20aec98.
  • Shows the effective fast-mode value in connected-agent sessions instead of the configured value, so status reflects what the session is actually using. 9509aa0.
  • Keeps the effective automatic fast-mode setting visible through fallback transitions in connected-agent sessions. 7f5423c.
  • Keeps automatic fast-mode timing and progress consistent when reply and scheduled-agent runs retry or switch models. 6c29f88.
