OpenClaw 2026.4.27 Ships GPU Passthrough, Presence Updates, and Security Hardening
OpenClaw’s 2026.4.27 release landed today with a set of meaningful infrastructure improvements focused on GPU workloads, mobile device presence, and network security.
GPU passthrough for sandboxed agents — Docker sandbox containers can now opt in to sandbox.docker.gpus passthrough, enabling local GPU workloads to run inside sandboxed agents when the host Docker runtime supports --gpus. This unlocks heavier ML tasks in isolated contexts without breaking the sandbox boundary.
Durable node presence for iOS and Android — Background mobile nodes can now mark themselves recently alive without being treated as connected. Previously, backgrounding on mobile would cause nodes to drop from presence tracking; now they retain last-seen metadata after disconnects, making health checks and wake events more reliable.
Outbound proxy routing — Operators can enable proxy.enabled with proxy.proxyUrl / OPENCLAW_PROXY_URL for explicit forward-proxy routing. The implementation includes strict http:// validation, loopback-only Gateway bypass, and cleanup of proxy env/dispatcher state on exit. Useful for enterprise environments with strict egress policies.
Codex Computer Use — Desktop agents can now run Codex Computer Use mode with /codex computer-use status/install, marketplace discovery, optional auto-install, and fail-closed MCP server checks before turns start.
Other highlights: non-image attachments via chat.send, refreshed provider dependencies (AWS SDK, Anthropic, Feishu), and Matrix streaming tool-progress live preview edits.
Release notes cover fixes across Active Memory, WhatsApp Web keepalive timeouts, Discord message reads, and security patches for npm execpath injection and device-pairing scope validation.
