OpenClaw v2026.5.18 Enhances Android with Real-Time Voice and GPT-5 Support

News Flash 2026-05-19 09:42

OpenClaw has launched version v2026.5.18, introducing significant updates to its Android client and model support. The latest release enables real-time voice sessions on Android through gateway relaying, allowing users to engage in streamed microphone input and real-time audio playback. This update also integrates tool-result bridging and live on-screen subtitles, facilitating complex toolchain execution via voice commands. In addition to these Android enhancements, OpenClaw has expanded its support for the GPT-5 series models, removing blocking during configuration validation for versions GPT-5.1 to GPT-5.3 and openai-codex models. The update also disables forced truncation of GPT-5 responses, ensuring complete channel responses. Developers benefit from the new minimal defineToolPlugin interface, which simplifies plugin extension with command-line tools for building, validating, and initializing plugins. Performance improvements include an incremental sync mechanism for Memory-core, reducing cold-start times by updating only modified files.
