openclaw has released version 2026.9.2, which includes support for GPT-6 Astra, the ability to change settings without a restart, and enhanced backup functionality.
Astra's 3D production examples can be viewed as a production loop that iterates through image input, screen verification, code execution, and testing, rather than just visual capability. Based on public materials, it cannot yet be determined if visual capability is the direct cause of improved coding ability.
